A Responsible Position –
A person in charge. Found myself there more than a few times, mostly by accident. Did not seek it. You make more than a few enemies real quick. It can be rewarding and I don’t regret any of it. It is a lot of work. Something I try to avoid.

A Thinker –
A feeling is a reaction. Thinking is what we should do before saying or doing anything. What do you think? That is the question. Not, what do you feel? What do you think about that?

A Baseball Game –
A month for sports. October is the end of baseball and the beginning of football. Old movies take a back seat. My favorite is football, the only real team sport where everyone has a different job to do. What is your job? Think about it.

A Red Flag –
A negative emotion. Thinking is better than feeling. The thinking one is the quiet one. The loud one is more worried about being heard than being right. We should ask what they are thinking. Should we care about what they are feeling? Can we get them to think?

A Day Of Rain –
A full moon. A red sky. Birds at the water dish. Hummingbirds fighting over the feeder. Cats at the window. A dailyprompt. The football and baseball teams winning. A long nap during the day. A nice breeze. No doctor appointments. Low humidity. 80 degrees max. Lots of sunshine. Plenty of shade. A bike ride with no dogs. Waving to neighbors from the rocking chair. Who could ask for more?

A Most Respected –
A kicker, an announcer, and an alcoholic. Pat Summerall. With only seconds left on the clock, a kicker is often asked to win the game. There was a time when many would watch a game just because Madden and Summerall were the announcers.

A Necessary Thing –
A list of ways: beer, rocking chair, cats, trimming plants, birds at the water dish, hummingbirds, music,sudoku, margarita, etc. Stress is the killer. It is also what motivates. A necessary thing in moderation.

A Use Of The Word Hate –
A serious distraction. I like to think that evil does not really exist but I know hate does. Instead of saying “deliver us from evil”, maybe we should be saying “deliver us from hate”.

A Reason To Hate –
A dog owner. Not the dog. Just the owner. The dog cares more about me than the owner. Dogs are replacing children. It’s not the fault of the dogs. Should I thank you for exposing my problem?

A Story Shared –
A different place on the other side. Half way around is India. Can’t get any further than that. A chance to visit the Taj Mahal. An amazing place. All for the love of a woman. A wife. A mother 14 times.
