Lyrics Post: “Gratitude” Oingo Boingo
As we round out this whacky crazy Covid-filled 2020, let’s not let the negative have the last word. Let’s sign off with an attitude of gratitude fir what went right, what we have to be thankful. And let’s let this Oingo Boingo song lift our spirits and tap our toes as 2020 draws to close. …
Reach
One of my favorite things, my true joys and foundations for a happy life is connecting with people from around the world. I’ve been fortunate to visit maybe a dozen countries in my life so far. Super blessed. I’ve been lucky to also meet folks through work from maybe a dozen more countries. I love …
Christmas Dinner Menus 2020

Lull
The excitement has ebbed. The presents have been opened. Good times and love and too much yummy food shared. Lull. Dishes done mostly, house mostly quiet, now an old Barenaked Ladies concert plays on the screen. Lull. The kids went home with their mom a while ago; I think they had a good Christmas. I …
God Is With Us
On this day, "Christmas", we celebrate many things. Mostly it's about being together with those we love, and maybe exchanging gifts. If you're a Christian, you might (or should?) believe that today is the day we celebrate the birth of he we call the Christ, a man we know as Jesus of Nazareth. As for …
