"Guns And Ships", another from the musical, Hamilton. Reading the words, I can hear the song in my head, some of the lyric so swiftly delivered, even with the words in front of me I can’t keep up the pace. So GOOD. [Burr:]How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a showerSomehow defeat a …

Sometimes It’s Weird
Sometimes it is, sometimes it’s weird. Like at work, new people, new duties, new systems; or old ones too... Like talking to people you feel sorta close to, most do, sometimes, don’t they? Like living in a situation you didn’t anticipate, expect, really desire...but there you are. Sometimes it’s weird.
Tribe
A few of the tribe come together, the warmth, the laughter, easy sharing, caring, catching up, so good, so good. What does the tribe do? Some how through some magic, a sense of belonging, knowing, acceptance, concern. It fortifies, reassures, comforts. My tribe? At least two. SCHS85, SCU89. When I’m with these people the thick …
Freestyle Love, G.M.D.
GMD, why do I think of him like that? My family, big on initials of names, for some reason. GMD, my maternal grandfather, George M. Downing, not frowning, just thrownin' words down, For him on his birthday, 107, not here anymore, still deep within me, spirit living on, as it should be. A doer, a …

The pandemic has only made it worse. Vast disparities of income versus the cost …

People Helping People
It’s a simple idea. People helping people. It’s a simple act. Anyone can do it. It’s an easy choice. If someone needs help and you can help them, do so. If each of us took this approach, things would be different in our neighborhoods, in our communities, states, countries, different for the better, in our …
Lyrics Post: “Anthill” By KINO (Victor Tsoi)
This one from almost thirty years ago, living in the then Soviet Union...this band, they became part of the soundtrack of that year for me...so GOOD. “A new day is starting And cars pass there and forth If the sun isn't too lazy to rise, It's okay for us too then. The anthill lives on, …
