BROADWAY OREGON, A PARABLE

November 5, 2016 by

Two guys, just people who need people. The beauty of life we agree on: the Mona Lisa, Grand Canyon, and Broadway Oregon sparkle like universal jewels.

MARRIAGE COUNSELING MATTERS

November 13, 2015 by

Who can explain a thirty year marriage. One woman? One man? Thirty years? And no one talks about it. No one wants to talk about it when Time Magazine asks if monogamy is dead. That’s part or the deal, or at least part of what I understood when I took the vow. Took the vow. […]

TOM HANKS’ SPY TRAIN

October 26, 2015 by

The Bridge Of Spies Waits For Tom Hanks. Who doesn’t like a nice train ride. It’s a different view than the highway and you don’t have to drive. From a highway we even stop and watch trains as they pull a long line of cars. Trains unified America with that Golden Spike. You could travel […]
