Miracles
September 24, 2026
There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. Albert Einstein True and lasting wonder needs to be renewed regularly, even daily. Otherwise, life’s inevitable formula will be: Wonderful is followed by wonder-half-full, which is followed by wonder-quarter-full, which […]
What a day
September 24, 2026
In the faint light of the attic, an old man, tall and stooped, bent his great frame and made his way to a stack of boxes that sat near one of the little half-windows. Brushing aside the wisps of cobwebs, he tilted the top box toward the light and began to carefully lift out […]
The boy at the backstop
September 24, 2026
We drove slowly north on Downing Street heading to Porter Hospital when a young boy caught my eye. Separated from classmates who excitedly played basketball and tag, he leaned against the baseball backstop far from the kids who didn’t seem to notice him. The boy’s head was bowed and I wondered what he was thinking….and […]
Millie The Crawdad
September 24, 2026
When Carly was three, we had a nightly ritual called story time. I’d lay down next to her bed and regale her with the tale of Millie The Crawdad. Three friends (Hector,Delores, and Sam) were walking by the creek one day when they saw a crawdad sitting on the far bank in a lounge chair. As you might […]
Out of the woodwork

Tatiana Prozorova entered The Singapore Open ranked 180 in the world. Today, she upset Alexandra Eala who was ranked #18 to reach the quarterfinals. It seems these terrific players are coming out of the woodwork and are fearless and so very talented. Tap on arrow to see highlights.
The Love Seat
September 24, 2026
A very young man was driving into the South Suburban Golf Course parking lot yesterday when he noticed two women sitting on the bench at the 10th. tee box. He thought that they were waiting for their kids to finish the par three course because the ladies had no clubs with them. When the youngster […]

Rick Barry is a Hall of Fame basketball player and one of the purest free throw shooters in history making 90% during his career. We had season tickets in the third row in 1975 in Kansas City. I watched Barry in warmups and he’ looked peeved whenever his ball touched the rim. Wilt Chamberlain scored […]
A Glimpse of God
September 24, 2026
“It was a tough day,” she wrote. I imagined her collapsing in an easy chair after a day that was anything but easy. Head pounding, feet aching… heart breaking, for those in her care. Some on the road to recovery and others unable to turn the corner to a brighter day. How do you rise […]
Extraordinary talent

It seems that great singers and musicians can play with their eyes closed. It’s pretty confounding to us regular folks. Tap arrow to view.
Junk yard dogs
September 23, 2026
The Colorado Rockies lost their 100th game yesterday for the 4th straight season. Here’s hoping that next year is a turnaround year for them as they are a scrappy, never give up, bunch of junk yard dogs who are fun to watch. May they rise from the depths to the delight of their fans.

Hecticity
September 22, 2026
Life today is hectic – ask anyone. There is hardly enough time to catch our breath before having to move to the next thing. Everyone is busy….multi-tasking is the new normal as we try to juggle five balls instead of three…..so busy are we that….unlike the British…..we leave no time for tea. There seems to […]
The Darkest Hour

In your darkest hour….when loneliness and despair overtake you…I’ll be there In your darkest hour….as the fear and doubt overwhelm you….I will be there I am The Light shining in your soul….and the hope living in your heart I am the dream you cling to when your life seems torn apart I am the […]

Emma
September 22, 2026
They seemed to begin in the fifth grade. The cliques where kids were ostracized for reasons yet unknown. I guess if you queried them the cool kids would cite one reason or another that they shunned her. Maybe it was because she was more attractive……or smart…..or that the best looking boys were always walking her […]

I’ve seen/listened to Tommy Emmanuel and Billy Strings as they display their brilliance on guitar. One would have to believe they’d approve of this young man. Tap on arrow to see/hear.
