There is not much hope left… Well, at least I am not surprised. One can’t be an advisor and confidante for almost ten years and not have a deep commitment to the policies and procedures that have been on display. No matter what the man says, there is no real new to this federal government […]

The Jamaica Experience Concluded Before leaving Treasure Beach there was one more task I wanted to accomplish. This was primarily due to an iconic ad I see occasionally during football games on TV: the ad for Appleton Estates rum, wherein people go to this neat bar out in the ocean off the coast of Jamaica. […]

The Jamaica Experience Continued Still at Treasure Beach, Easter Sunday saw the sunrise over the water, shining warmly on the volcanic rock & sand as well as the gentle surf. It was very special, very personal. Took it all in for a couple of hours before the rest of the multitude joined me on the […]

The Jamaica Experience Continued Easter Saturday dawned in a more gentle, slower than how dusk/sunset occurs. The tide is up and the ocean crashing against the old volcanic rock is almost soothing.

So there may not be […]

This is my second UNPAID Advertisement I won’t do this very often but I thought you might like to know in advance in the event you wish to watch at some point. We are a very lucky clan in a host of ways, but particular in the Great-Grandkids my parents were blessed with (none of […]

It refers to Bobby Kennedy’s ill-fated run for the USA Presidency in 1968. I was very active politically in those days and […]

oh oh!! here’s an interesting ethical dilemma… Last night went to an all-candidates forum to learn just what the candidates might have to say. Generally it was disappointing, because there was no back-and-forth between/among the various candidates, just each one answering a series of mundane and oft-time unfortunately ill-conceived questions from a somewhat disinterested moderator.
