Gifted in the this and that, That’s where it’s at, Pulling from all sides, not breaking stride, digging all ya got, all ya get, Legit, to the extreme, must mean, Got more in ya to go the distance, resistance no matter, that and this, Find the bliss, just one kiss, to BLISS.

Focus on the taste, bits of goodness, Otherwise tossed to the trash bin, but to this dad, little yummy, little delicious, Little bits of good.

Story Time
Unexpected, spontaneous, sublime, Kids gather ‘round, pile up on the bed in dad’s room, Not to hear me wax on with story, but rather to share some stories with me that they’ve written, Gentle breeze outside, gentle feeling of love as I sit in my chair and listen to them, So good, so good to …

These were the words my younger daughter came to me with the other night. “Daddy, Why Do People Have Questions.” As near as I could tell at the time she was sleep walking. After making her inquiry in the dark of my bedroom, she turned around, walked back to her bedroom, and climbed back into …
Who Is That Guy?
Recall the movie “ Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”; a scene maybe halfway through the story, where a group of lawmen were pursuing the Hole In The Wall Gang. In the movie, Butch says to Sundance, “who are those guys…?” I wonder if people ever ask a similar question about me, no, I’m not …

The Catholic Church celebrates the Feast Day of St. Ignatius of Loyola on 31 July. I remember visiting a friend twenty plus years ago; at the time my friend was …

Lyrics Post: “Winds of Change” (Scorpions)
