I’m Back – with some family history.
I hope all of you had good holidays. We tried to cram about four years worth of holiday festivities into a couple of short weeks. So, even though I’m not terribly rested, I’m definitely refreshed and ready to hit the new year running. On a side note, yesterday there was an article about my great-grandfather [...]
No Journey Today.
I had some things come up that didn’t allow me to get this week’s chapter of “The Journey of St. Laurent” done. Sorry. If only my day had a couple of extra hours in it… I may be able to write/post it over the weekend, but no guarantees. If you want to know the second [...]
A Nation’s Strength
by Ralph Waldo Emmerson What makes a nation’s pillars high And its foundations strong? What makes it mighty to defy The foes that round it throng? It is not gold. Its kingdoms grand Go down in battle shock; Its shafts are laid on sinking sand, Not on abiding rock. Is it the sword? Ask the [...]

I think I was born 70 years too late…
Seriously. Sometimes I think I was born 70 or 80 years too late. I mean, I listen to music like this. I dance like this (this is actually how my wife and I met). Ok, and I can’t dance that fast anymore. I love movies like this: I read literature like this: I’d rather listen [...]
I’m so glad the weekend is over.
Seriously. The Good: I got another big section of the fence that I’m building in our yard done. My wife and I went out and saw Iron Man. (Loved it) The Bad: Our TV finally gave up the ghost. It’s been on the fritz since last winter, and it finally refused to turn on. I [...]
