Stopping In ... Have a seat.

The whole TG holiday, I have spent most of the my time, either reflecting on life, or getting the house ready for tomorrow night. I'm hosting a small private get together for my office, we have two guests from out of town, one from CA and the other from MA.

It should be interesting, the guests will be flying in here tomorrow afternoon, then meetings on Tuesday, then they will fly out on Wednesday.

One of the guest has  given  a presentation for  Ted Talk... .   He certainly provokes and encourages a discussion ....

I was given the assignment about 4 months ago to see if they would even entertain a trip to the Lil City by the Red... and if they would, to get them here...  The Lil City by the Red has never had a Ted Talk person stop in and spend a few days...

Tomorrow, begins three days of completing  my assignment, I hope it all goes well....

Sometimes..........

Its Friday Afternoon, in the Garden District, Friday after ThanksGiving.  I spent Thanksgiving here, at home, on the porch, Quietly..... Contemplating Life in General....

It was a good day.. to be by your self... to understand that Quiet Times reveal much more in Life ..SomeTimes...

I am having the same today... once again... reflection is good for my Soul at this point in my Life......
...Sometimes...

Note To Self

Note to Self:


I am lucky to have always found, secured, a job/position, when I felt it was time for change in my work world.

I was reading one of my favorite blogs today, as I do check most days anyway.

I also, read, the comments... Everyone should read the comments of blogs.... it sometimes says more than the entry..

Today, I was reading one of the comments, the lady stated her company had been sold by its owner, she was starting to have to look for another job.... at 62!!

I am Lucky.... I have my position..at my age... I'm 62

Looking Out

Sitting here on the 3rd Floor, looking out my two windows here at the Courthouse.

My new job, gives me time to develop ideas to help support our agency in communicating with the Public.

In the last 44 days, ..... its been something of a good thing... to have less stress, to have a routine, to regain a sense of Self... and I enjoy the staff

One thing I can say, is that over the years, by writing technique, has improved... because of this blog... even with the misspelled words, the wrong punctuation or misplaced at lest.... the blog has improved my thought process to write.... 

In the last 44 days, I have published three papers on various issues, jail space, diversion programs, etc...

The blog composing has helped in choosing the phraseology ..... 

Just sitting here thinking on the 3rd floor.... at lest I do have two windows that look out on the skyline of the Lil City by the Red.

Turning My Thoughts !!!

Today, I'm off from the office, its Veteran's Day.

I am turning my Thoughts Today, to my family, honoring them for their service to Our Country.

My father and my mother, both fought in WWII.  My father fought in the Pacific Theater, my mother was in the Women's Air Corp before they formed the US Air Force.

My father's tour of duty took him to the Fiji Islands, Solomon Islands and many small atolls.

My mother tour of duty, was in Sheridan Wy... at a air base.... she developed film practice bombing runs and taught there..My mother obtained the rank of Buck Sargent... she carried that training for the rest of her life... it served her well.

My sister, retired from the US Air Force as a Lt. Colonel.....

Now for my pride and joy.... My Son... yes I have a child.... he is a United States Marine... he fought and served proudly... in Iraq.

He is home now, works for a major oil company in an executive capacity....

My thoughts are with my son and my sister today, for their sacrifices during those years...

I am proud to say that my family.... my blood... has served our Nation....

I is We.....

I      know............After the non-stop media coverage of for the last 18 months.... do We the Public really know whats going on in the rest of the world....

I     wonder............... sometimes where the Reality of It All Is....... The True Reality.... !!!

I       hope ............... We as a People can Soon Come Together .... Again......

I      understand........ WE Must.

Good Neighbors

Today, I had a small surgery, I had developed two carbuncle on my left buttocks side, after consulting with my Good Doctor, it was determined that I needed a surgeon to extract the carbuncles.

Well, in the neighborhood, we have doctors, lawyers, administrators, principals, teachers, social workers... a lil bit of every thing you might need.

Good Doctor, who is partnered with a great friend and vestry member of mine, did the diagnosis, then the surgeon who lives on the other side of my back yard fence did the removal....

The carbuncles were two, one the size of a fifty cent piece, with six heads,  the depth was about 2.5 cm, which is about one inch, the other was about a dime size with the same depth..... photos if anyone desires....

A True Pain in the Rear.....

However, It was a neighborhood Affair.......Totally, Good Doctor, Surgeon and All.....
