Give it a READ!


First published in 1942...
True story...
Takes place in the Western woods of Maine...
The authors wit and wisdom is so apropos for our times...

 I first read this book when I was in my mid twenties. I so enjoyed it then because I was so familiar with the area that it takes place in. Having just read it again, in my mid seventies, I was moved closer to knowing what finding peace and joy is really all about.

Do yourself a favor my forever Mainers and give it a read!

A Point of View...Trans in Sports

 ...a volatile and difficult issue to discuss and to elucidate. Why is this issue so emotional and so polarizing? People fear what they don't understand so a world of phobias exist...discrimination at every level and of every kind. People that are different than those who view them... religious indoctrination... A lack of appropriate education pertaining to understanding labels like  Bisexual/ Gay/ Lesbian/ Transgender/ Queer/Pansexual/ Non-binary and Transvestite to name a few.  It is  important to know that not all transgendered people are gay. Gay is not synonymous with all of these labels, being different is. These topics cannot be discussed without mentioning the word " SEX " and once that word is read or spoken most people's minds immediately go somewhere else.  Put " sex " and "sports" in the same dialogue and it's volcanic!  Highly combustible words elicit strong emotional convictions. This is why it is so polarizing.  Let me first say

THE document...

My spouse is taking the time to actually read every single word of this extremely scary document, all 922 pages of Project 2025 and yes, no matter how much he claims to "know nothing about it" his MO is now in print for the would to see just how evil and sick he and his cohorts are that wrote and are now promoting this historical agenda of the police state of dictatorship they believe is "the way". His recent words to the Christian conference in Florida is the dialogue of the intent of this document...last time you will ever have to vote...please... the document and his attempts to momentarily remove himself from its content is his typical style...claims no knowledge until he thinks it's in his best interest to say he "did it". The fight for democracy is now front and center. Those of us whose parents and grandparents lived through the rise and fall of Germany and it's dictators leadership and the atrocities that went with it have passed their st

And The Beat Goes On...

...bah boom, bah boom, bah boom... To say my summer of 2024 was different from any other in my years of summers would be an understatement.  Life changing in fact expresses my summer accurately.   Getting a cardiologist to join my health team consisting of a primary care doc, a dermatologist, an eye doctor, a dentist, an orthopedic doc and after spending #21 sessions in Cardiac Rehab with dozens of other fortunate souls to still be seen and not merely viewed, I fully realized just how fortunate I was to be alive!  I have, as most of you know, spent most of my life in gyms. I feel comfortable, at home and know what to do so my introduction to Cardiac Rehab was not that unusual for me. What was unusual was that the folks in that specialized gym had gray and snow covered heads with faces telegraphing their roads of experience. Translucent hands mapping deep blue streams as thin as my own gripped the handles of treadmills, recumbent bikes, hand weights and walkers. Deep purple amoeba looki
