We are now a couple of weeks past the Super Bowl, and of course, I watched. I’m not a big Bucs fan, but since I’m a transplant from New England to Florida, I follow the team a bit. More this past year than since I moved here, and that is because of the goat. When… Continue reading The GOAT

Death Of A Party
History is made of every moment of every day and never stops. History is like a giant database capturing everything all the time. Our whole existence, in some way, will be directly or indirectly impacted by history.

Book Report? Well almost
I started the last book of the four, A Column on Fire, by Ken Follett, and unlike the others, it was a relatively slow start. I could not get into the story. After two weeks, I can usually knock out the 900+ pages but not this time. It could have a bit to do with… Continue reading Book Report? Well almost

The book… Continue reading Book Review Two Books – Fear and Rage

Social Media, I’m Done
I have made a conscious decision to remove all my social media accounts and will never engage in these platforms again. Some may find this odd or even question why so here is my reasoning. I'm not sure about the exact dates of the social media phenomenon but, I think it started around 2004 with… Continue reading Social Media, I’m Done
