A Beautiful Creation –
A sight or sound. A musical. Song and dance. Gilbert and Sullivan for The Pirates of Penzance. Andrew Loyd Weber for so many great musicals. The most beautiful thing I ever read? “To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.” by Thomas Campbell.

a favorite hobby or pastime
A Movie On YouTube –
A movie that is almost as old as I am. So many movies are so dark you can’t see anything. Cheaper to make. The day is so long I need to rest my body and mind long before I am able to sleep.

A Visit To My Insurance Agent –
A visit to my credit union. Walk to my daughter’s house. Buy a computer. Start all over. All my stuff is in the cloud. All I have to do is prove who I am. Not so easy.

A Sales Tax To Replace Income Tax –
A consumption tax. Everyone wants to tax the rich. How do you know they are rich? Their home, car, clothing, boat, plane, etc. Hard to hide that stuff. Tax it. Let the argument begin..

a time when I felt out of place
A Dinner Party –
A very difficult situation. I didn’t know what to say or do. I don’t know how it happened but I found myself sitting with the five wives while the four other husbands were sitting together nearby. We were the only five couples in the neighborhood with school aged kids and not divorced. Can’t remember what I did.

A Lost Connection With The World –
A need to reach all nations. Not being able to is bad news. I can’t do my job without a computer. Look for a new job? Look for a different way to do my job? Thinking.

A T9 Typing –
A dumb phone. A need to let others know I’m okay. Also to ask for help if necessary. I also need help with spelling and the dumb phone doesn’t do that.

A Need To Pay More Attention To –
A spiritual one. Job number one. We are being tested. There is a lot of talk about trust. Can you be trusted? That is why we are here. To see if we can be trusted.

A Monthly Newsletter –
A family connected. It was started by my mother when she had three in college. After she died there were many attempts to continue it. They all failed until email came along and I was able to get it started again. It was easy to add cousins, nieces, and nephews.
