The joy of dating- The truth about being single

Too true!

Grab them by the pussy

Well it happened. 

We have President Trump. The classic oxymoron.  Those two words, President and Trump,  do not belong together. 

I watched a bit of the inauguration.  I said I would not, but it was my lunch hour.  Who can resist a great car crash?

I noticed the crowd was much smaller. 

Last I checked, I qualify as a people. Somehow, I do not feel I am a ruler in this nation.  I exercise very little control.  When I write my favorite politician, I get a form letter in reply.  The best I can hope for is that someone is tabulating the complaints.

Am I forgotten?  Who will listen?  I am not quite sure the middle-class is as dead as he seems to think,  The last 20 years have generally been good to me. The Midwest is not quite ready to rust away. 

A man with questionable morals claims that God will protect us.  I think he has been drinking the Pence Kool-Aid. 

Some memorable quotes:

"What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.

January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

Everyone is listening to you now.

I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down.

There should be no fear – we are protected, and we will always be protected.

We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.

You will never be ignored again."

Some words about women, I need some savin

Well, I'm running down the road
tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on
my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine
Take It easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
and take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me

A New Year

A year older and possibly a bit wiser.  The years go by more quickly now.


I reflect on what is good.  There is much to be grateful for.


I am healthy.  My sons are healthy.  My loyal dog is doing well.


I met a gal....


Some good trips.  Lots of sunshine on my face. 


No big resolutions to keep or to break. 


I now own a condo on the beach.


I am still collecting quotes music and memes.


I still think too much

Thought for the day from a Texas rocker

I hate the thought of lowering expectations but learning to be appreciative of what is in front of us.


I am watching my gratitude.







By the way Ray Wylie Hubbard is an excellent musician with a pretty unique  Texas sound.


Good Stuff!

Thought for the day

We all think we have time.  Hopefully we do.  Some of will leave this place with more dreams of what could have been than incredible memories.

The balance between work and play is  always a challenge

I have been a bit quiet on this blog. 

As what is supposed to happen, at least in my mind, I met a woman and have been quite distracted.  A blonde who is smart, kind, fit and finds me charming.  Her kids are grown.  She lives downtown in a cool apartment with a view.  We go to cool restaurants and bars.

It is all good.

Some quotes for today

Some great quotes and thoughts from Brene Brown.  Vulnerability is her specialty which ties into all relations. 

She has some excellent TED talks as well.  Check her out.

We love seeing raw truth and openness in other people, but we're afraid to let them see it in us. We're afraid that our truth isn't enough - that what we have to offer isn't enough without the bells and whistles, without editing, and impressing.

Brené Brown

We risk missing out on joy when we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary.

Brené Brown

After collecting thousands of stories, I’m willing to call this a fact: A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all women, men, and children. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.
