And that’s what happens when you elect a terrorist president

Probably like you, I’m still trying to absorb what happened at our nation’s Capitol Building on January 6. I’m not surprised by any of it though. That’s what happens when you elect a terrorist President of the United States of America and let him “govern” […]

Read the Fine Print: Trump’s a Con Man

While I’m relieved Joe Biden won, I’m shocked how many people still voted for Trump. Who I will not be referring to as president, because he’s made it perfectly clear he’s not my president. He only represents part of America, specifically Republicans. Not that anything […]

How Will Trump Play Having COVID-19?

Wayne woke me up early this morning saying, “Your buddy and his wife tested positive for the coronavirus.” It may go down as one of those times I always remember where I was when I heard the news. Of course I don’t really want anyone […]

Is It Possible to Operate Without Social Media?

As I wrote about recently, I’ve been having a dilemma ever since I watched The Social Dilemma. Well, as I also noted, I was struggling with social media even before that. It seems so self-absorbed. It’s like a world full of children begging to be […]

Why Trump’s Support of White Supremacists Taints All Republicans

Republicans should be furious that Trump is not denouncing White Supremacist groups. Especially if they really aren’t racist and want to have a leg to stand on when they deny such accusations. But I don’t see any criticizing or even encouraging Trump to do the […]

Is Anybody Else Having a Dilemma After Watching The Social Dilemma?

Ever since I watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix, I’ve had a crisis of conscience. Well, in reality it started before that. In 2019 I noticed an improvement in my health when I distanced myself from social media. Was there a direct correlation or was […]

The Irony of Supporting Both the Confederate and American Flags

I wonder if anti-Black Live Matters/pro-Confederate Flag folks realize the irony of claiming to support both the U.S. flag and the Confederate one. Do they not realize what the Confederate Flag really stood for? Yes, slavery was part of it, but on a basic level, […]

The Last Photo of Tigger

Tigger went missing on Friday, August 28. He’s not a lost pet. He knew where home was. He didn’t wander away. He disappeared. Where he went, I have no idea, but I have a few hunches. Ones I’d love to be wrong about. I knew […]

Signs & Sailing

Wayne has wanted a sailboat for years now. Decades really. Ever since we moved to Jacksonville, Florida, in 1999. There was always some reason not to get one. No time. No money. No place to keep it. Money was always a big one. Even when […]

Nashville’s Connections with Pivotal Moments in American History

Thanks to current events, I’ve learned a lot about Tennessee’s involvement, or more specifically Nashville’s involvement, in pivotal moments of American history this summer. Being a Southern city, Nashville has a lot of history. There’s of course Civil War history to be found here and […]
