A Time When I Should Have Done Something –
A lack of religion. This is a difficult one for me. If we were raised with too much religion, my kids certainly didn’t get enough. I wish that we had gone to church more often with them.
a regret
a trip
A Thing That Makes Me Nervous –
A change in my routine. The older you get, the more you rely on your routine. A Youtube video suggests any trip if you are over seventy is a risky situation.
a way to unwind
A Beer Or Two –
A real treat. Some can’t drink. There are those who must. My dad was one of them. He had ten children so he wouldn’t have to get up to get another beer. One Lent he gave up beer and smoking. My mother would not allow it to happen again. “Doing penance is fine but forcing others to do it is wrong.”
a social media
A Way To Use It –
A sharing of knowledge. And it shall increase according to Daniel 12:4 even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro,
a first thing
A Thought Comes To Mind –
A meditation. Allowing your mind to wander. Is it worth writing down? Does it answer the question? The most important part of doing the daily writing prompt is to answer the question. Too often the question is ignored and used by the writer to say whatever he has on his mind. I had to jot this down.
a random encounter
A Stranger –
A positive meeting. I was a stranger in a strange land and needed a place to stay. Found a church and the pastor who was talking to Pat, a Fulbright Scholar, who knew where I could stay but first we had to have lunch and a few beers to talk about it. That included a discussion on the proofs for the existence of God. Her friend Martin, a Jew and also a Fulbright Scholar, was not happy. I was the second Catholic he had to put up because of Pat. Martin did a lot of entertaining and I would have to share all expenses with him. That would include two Russian students that he met at the University and Rocky, the first Catholic he had to put up. We all had too much to drink and made fun of our government but not theirs. After that the Russians would have nothing to do with us. Apparently they got reported for what they did.

A place where life has no value. Don’t want to go there. 16
a family reunion
A Son Who Makes It Happen –
A get together is not an easy thing to arrange so I let him do it. He seems to think it is as important as I do.
a favorite restaurant
A Mexican One –
A margarita. My granddaughter said, “The one with the most restaurants wins.” They have my favorite Lady of Guadalupe. A tostada with Pico De Gallo please.
