Seeing The Past -flashback to my 20’s, it’s not me today   I went to a concert over the weekend to see Credence Clearwater Revival, or what’s left of the group. The music was great, it really was good old rock and roll, but the feelings were funny! There was a lot of gray hair in the crowd, including my gray hair. When some of the great old chart toppers were played, there were a number of people up and trying to move like they did in the “70’s. Much of it was not a pretty s... Read More

The sensation is so elusive that, while they admit it is injurious, they cannot after a time di... Read More

Are Your Expectations Growing? They Should!   I read something over the course of the weekend that was a good reminder and provoked some thought in me. A numbers of years ago, I was not happy with the life I was living, and addictions were playing too big a role in my daily living. I had frequent moments where there was obvious insanity in my behavior, and things were becoming more and more unmanageable in my life. I was not a happy camper. For what ever the reasons, I made a decisio... Read More
