Yes, I watched the debate. I was not impressed. Hillary promises things she can’t deliver while claiming her plan will create millions of jobs without increasing the national debt by raising taxes on the wealthy. Trump promises to create millions of jobs by cutting taxes on corporations. Neither one is likely to do either one.…
The Mando camp is underway. I have had the great fortune of reacquainting myself with many friends I met last year, some of whom have returned from every point on the compass from around the globe. The number of Aussies attending is remarkable, thus this remark. France, Denmark, and Sweden are represented, too. I will…
Do you ever have a racing mind? Mine is going ninety miles an hour. I can’t sleep. All I can do is think of electrons, masses of electrons, and how they will be safely connected underground to feed new buildings while keeping existing buildings serviced and working properly so overhead lines can come down that…
My life-long friend, David, and his wife Pat, have a wonderful home at Smith Lake in Alabama. That is where we are spending this weekend, celebrating July 4th, and my birthday. It’s good to have another birthday. Lots of folks probably wished they had had the chance at another birthday. I am thankful for mine.…
In an earlier blog post, I discussed the list. Lots of folks want to know about the list, some of which I share, but most of which I keep to myself. “How are you doing?” an acquaintance recently asked. “Just fine,” I said on automatic pilot. “And you?” They beleaguered me with their entire list,…
“How are you doing?” I was recently asked by an acquaintance. It is the functional equivalent of saying, “Good morning,” as no one really expects or wants the answer to the question if it’s other than an automatic, “Just fine.” Then, there is the list. My brother is a wonderful man. I treasure our relationship…
A full seven years ago now that October has passed, I was sitting in Hemosapien‘s office, apprehensive, fearful, and more than a bit disbelieving that it was actually me as a patient waiting for a consultation with an oncologist. The universe was apparently mistaken, as this could not possibly be right. Cancer was something that…
I’d give you peace if I could. But I can’t. I can give you advice. But that’s never wanted, and my advice could only come from my experience, which may not be yours. We should try, though, to bring peace to as many as we can, even if that means advice, and sometimes the best…
“My kingdom is not of this world.” Jesus We Christians often wonder what Jesus would do. We ask ourselves that, not in response to some bracelet that clever marketers dreamed up with the “WWJD” inscription on it. We ask ourselves this because it is a prudent thing to do. We also notice that liberals, leftists,…
CLL patients are all familiar with Watch and Wait. It is a maddening distraction for someone who wants to do something. It is not aggressive, nor even proactive, but reactive. This is despairing to anyone who wants to be assertive, take control, nip it in the bud, get it all behind them, move forward, take…
