October 10, 2025 by

For those who wonder about the benefit of restful sleep, stay up a little longer and keep reading. If you’re not on schedule for a solid eight hours of sleep, with power naps mixed in, keep reading. There is something keeping you up, something you can’t put your finger on, or step on, but what? […]

August 23, 2025 by

AMERICAN WAY, MY VERSION

March 26, 2025 by

The American way of my Dad was different than mine. For him it was finish high school, wait a year for his brother, then go to junior college to play baseball together. Instead of waiting it out, he got with his buddies and they all joined the Marine Corps. Everyone went in, except one, and […]

WHEN ‘OLDEN DAYS’ GET OLDER

January 27, 2023 by

My olden days started in 5th grade. It was a nice day in North Bend, Oregon. A little chilly, not that foggy, and just windy enough to spread your jacket out like wings and lean in to it. I skipped half the lunch recess outside and ducked into the grade school library. The door was […]

WHEN ONE SIDE DOESN’T QUITE GET THE MESSAGE

August 23, 2021 by

One side, the left, are U.S. Marines in WWII. The other side is reputed to be a propaganda pic from Afghanistan. Men in both wear U.S. gear. That’s it, that’s the post. This is so wrong in so many ways.

Old enough didn’t matter when I bought a switchblade knife in Mexico. I was a twelve year old with my parents on a family car trip. After driving across Texas we stopped in El Paso after the Carlsbad Caves, then a day trip across the border to Juárez. After proudly showing my mom my new […]

August 17, 2018 by

Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don’t stand in the doorway Don’t block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There’s a battle outside And it is ragin’. It’ll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin’.

APPLIED GUN VIOLENCE EXPLAINED

February 17, 2018 by

  Baby boomers have a unique perspective when it comes to gun violence. Our fathers participated in the most extreme gun violence in world history.

POWAY WRESTLING, HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING THE RIGHT WAY

February 13, 2018 by

    High school wrestling in Poway, California is a calling. It’s the same calling kids felt in North Bend, in Newberg, Crater, Roseburg, and Burns, Oregon.   Call it tradition, or answering a challenge, just don’t make the mistake of calling it less than what it is. All Poway High School wants is all […]
