Look at the picture above ( the entry picture).  What do you see?  No, really, WHAT do you see?  So many times, we just walk along, or drive along, and look at the hood of the car, or stare down at the ground when walking.  Why?  Don’t we want to see the absolute beauty of what is around us?  I’ll tell you, that is what can cheer you up, put a smile on your face, or any other state that puts you in a good mood.  I mean really, it’s everything around us that changes our mood.  If things get a little depressing where you’re at, just go for a…

2011, what a year.  I want to say I’m glad that it’s over, but really, why be glad that ANY time is over.  O.k., so times get a little rough, either financially, support-wise, whatever;  it means that time is gone.  GONE.  No matter what you do, that time is gone.  I wanted to write something on January 1, but I didn’t; and now that time is gone.  I’ve still written something, but maybe I could of written two things.  So now we move on, to 2012.  By the way, I’m very glad that I went through 2011; a trip to Hawaii (Kauai), a little Vegas,  a Phoenix trip, and some…

I don’t know if I really know what a lottery is.  Is it MY lottery?  Is it THE  lottery?  I mean, what is the luck of the draw?  For about the past 3and1/2 years I’ve been asking this question.  It’s amazing, because I don’t know if I’ve already won it, and don’t know it; or if I did win it, duplicate times, and am already appreciating that fact.  Is the lottery all about winning DOLLAR$, and then not knowing what to do, with all of that money?  Or is it something that changes your life; ( this is the simple answer). I believe I won the second, in my simple…

I’ve written a little bit about my friends of past, but what have I really written about my friends of present?  In a strange way, a lot.  Not so much in a direct way, but every turn of events turns into some of my friends activity.  I think that we’re all acting out in the same way, our personalities, our way of going about things, whether coming or going  (what is he saying???).  The last words that I blogged, was about some goofy, crazy friends that I picked, 35 or so years ago, because I WANTED to.  Guys from high school, some from before.  From whatever was in my brain…

When is the last time that you spoke to people, that you haven’t spoken to in 30 years, (or maybe more)?  I spoke in a blog earlier, maybe around May of 2011, of re-acquainting with an old friend, Jr.  Those were days, probably since 1981, since we last spoke.  Just days of, (when you’re 21 years old) going your own way, (Los Angeles, woop-tee-doo!).  When you’re that age, EVERYTHING seems to be the right way to do things!  So going so long seems, without speaking, seemed at the time to be the right way to do things.  So what was the reason that we DID start to speak?  Due to my…

Did you ever think about what your favorite day would be like?  How about your favorite night?  Your favorite destination?  How about your favorite….?  How about the fact that it doesn’t matter, as long as you’re happy?  It’s so funny, we all dream up where we want to go, what we want to do, the city, the country, the restaurents,(now that one, I got more than a FEW!).  It’s all how you put it in your mind, if you think about it.  As you know, my brother started, and then we all put in a little bit of energy to help for a  golf tournament to be played at a  in Las Vegas. …

After yesterday’s television programming, (9/11/11), how do you feel?The reason that I ask, is that I don’t know how I feel.  On some levels, I feel safe, on others, not even close to safety.  Yesterday, I started watching television at 6:30 a.m., an hour before going to church, at 7:30.  I’ve been keeping up with stories from various people for the month that they’ve been running interviews, stories, videos, whatever else, possibly more.  Talk about some stuff that will keep you running!  Every time people start telling me how great I did coming back from the surguries, and then I see all of the actions that came from New York, I feel like…

O.k., how many ski days, (water or snow), when you just go, I just WANT more of this day!  Went up to Lake Pyramind to go water skiing, and knee boarding, but since we didn’t have the board, it just became skiing.  It was about 100 degrees, but no wind; that lake was so like glass, all through the day.  Such a great day! As I was driving up to the lake, about 60 miles, traffic eased up as I got out of LA.  Then you notice the beatiful terrain, and you really just settle in.  Oh sure, I have this to do, then I have that to do, then…
