Those Who Have Walked Through my Life – Ed
It continually amazes me who “walks through my Life;” and when they show up. It kinda reinforces the mantra, “When the Student is ready, the Teacher will come.” Towards the end of my flying career I had the opportunity to … Continue reading

My Favorite Christmas Carol…
This is my favorite Christmas carol. I hope it “comes through” for you… The Littlest Angel I heard it long, long ago, and it “spoke to me” with such purity. It took me right down to my core then, as … Continue reading
Measuring Cups on the Tree?
In early December 1998 I set up to build my annual Christmas cookies. Lebkuchen cookies. My grandmother made them for years, then the task fell to Mom. They are really labor-intensive to make, taking all day. But well worth it, … Continue reading

Resolving ‘Dear Ole Dad’ took a bit more time and effort… The last time I saw Dear Ole Dad was in August 1992. I had gone to San Antonio specifically to confront him about his behavior over the years toward … Continue reading
The Unholy Trinity: Resolution – Sandy
Oh hell, I was so in love with Sandy. The “love of my Life;” the One! Then on 17 August 1967, at 1330 hours, it all came crashing down. I was dumped! For years upon years every year, on August … Continue reading
“Bob the Builder” Ain’t Norm!
Caution (Very Adult Language) I was talking with my friend Harry the other day about woodworking. Harry is a master carpenter. Anyway the conversation soon got to those TV shows about woodworking – you know, the ones where everything always … Continue reading

Walking With Grandfather…
I am currently using a meditation book these days, “Meditations with Native American Elders,” as a guide for my spiritual readings in the early mornings. I am so at peace with the teachings of these Native American Elders – it’s … Continue reading
