Easy Being Green…Gardens I’ve Seen
I hate green. Green is my least favorite color, at least in clothing and accessories and household goods. I don't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day, or any other day, for that matter. And I'm the opposite of an "environmental wacko", since I don't believe that humans are a blot on the landscape, or destroying …
Photo Challenge….Wish
Ever since I returned from Cambridge, England in 1991, I have wished I could go back. There's just no other place on Earth like it. If I was told I only had a year to live, I'd pull up stakes and spend my last days in Cambridge. King's College Chapel, back side, from the River …
Windows on Wednesday
What is a window? It's an opening in a wall or a door, normally contains glass, and lets light into the room or building. As an opening, it is often said that the human eye is a "window into the soul". And a book, or a treatise, can be said to "open a window" into …

Weekly Photo Challenge…Solitude
The ultimate solitude for me would be sitting here: The private veranda off our cruise-ship stateroom. With a good book. Listening to this: I find the sight and sound of the ship cutting through the water incredibly relaxing. This is, in my opinion, the best part of a cruise. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/solitude/
America in the Trump Administration
The Dream. President Trump (yes, all you scared-rabbit Liberals, HE WON), goes to Joint Base Andrews, to greet the return home of a flag-draped casket of a Seal Team member killed in action. No pomp, no circumstance, just bowed heads and prayers for the soul of one brave man killed in action. Trump selects Judge …
