If you haven’t heard, the next national organized day of protest will be June 14, 2025, starting at noon local time. Other than protesting to save the country and Constitution, it is also a day of protest against the military parade happening in D.C. that day as a “celebration” of Trump’s birthday. The official theme… Continue reading June 14: National Handmaid’s Tale Day

This is my story as I move through my life as a husband, father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle, educator, photographer and so on. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Raise Your Hand If
There were so many things on my mind to write about this week—military spending, norms, voter suppression, gullibility, history and so much more—it was hard to decide which topic to choose. I’ve settled on labor and food supply. Some of what I’m about to say may seem controversial and has the potential to be interpreted… Continue reading Raise Your Hand If
Honey! Kids! My Mom and My Grandma are Moving In!
All of us love our mom’s, dad’s, grandma’s, and grandpa’s in our own ways. But, how many of us truly, no matter the amount of love we have of them, want our in-laws or grandparents living with us 24/7/365? More on this in a moment. I first want to call attention to somethings more dangerous… Continue reading Honey! Kids! My Mom and My Grandma are Moving In!
Keep Up the Good Fight
Although I’m on travel this week, I still wanted to offer the following to keep up the good fight. Mark those calendars for June 14. I’ve often said we all need to be involved in saving democracy in the ways which fit our lives and our comfort levels. These can be blogging, reposting on social… Continue reading Keep Up the Good Fight
So Much Stuff!
As I had said I was going to do last week, I took a week away from social media, newsfeeds, and news shows. Even being away, I heard some of the major news through friends. I know we have a new American Pope and a former Supreme Court Judge has died. After a week away,… Continue reading So Much Stuff!
All Out of F&*@s This Week
Why am I all out of F&*@s this week (pardon my language mom)? We have corporate media who are not doing their job. Not covering the nationwide protests showing we the people are not happy with the direction the country is heading. Not calling a lie a lie. Not calling for the impeachment of a… Continue reading All Out of F&*@s This Week
Time to Wake Up, Speak Up, and Step Up
Where we are. Is this what you want? Time to pay attention and take action.
Billionaires Building Bombastic Bunkers
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.—Mark 10:15 There was a recent headline that caught my eye as I scrolled through BlueSky. The article was about billionaires buying islands or large tracts of land around the… Continue reading Billionaires Building Bombastic Bunkers
No Consequences, No Lessons Learned
As human beings, we seem to innately want to push boundaries and to get what we want when we want. However, our parents, friends, bosses, and other people, help us learn there are expectations within our homes and within society in which we must live. This is often through trial and error, and positive and… Continue reading No Consequences, No Lessons Learned
Time for a Wellness Check?
It has been a week unlike any other that I can remember. The week started with the Republican controlled United States Department of Education (USDE) having sent a letter on the previous Friday at 5:00PM EST, to go into effect at 5:00PM EST that same day, meaning no notice whatsoever. The memo basically said regardless… Continue reading Time for a Wellness Check?
