This morning, while drinking coffee, I turned on the news. Why would I do that? I enjoy being entertained by complete horseshit. The newswoman was doing a segment on masks and which ones are not effective against viruses. Unfortunately, only a few masks help to stop the spread of COVID-19, and those are relatively expensive. … Continue reading Mainstream Media & WWF

Have you opened your eyes?
All my life, I've been waking myself up when it's necessary. Fortunately, this time there wasn't danger. I was asleep, dreaming something that I cannot remember. I heard a loud knocking, so I snapped from sleep and jumped from bed. Nothing, there isn't anything to find. When this happens, I usually read a few pieces … Continue reading Knock, Knock
For nearly two years, I've been building a new [sober] life for myself. I've had as much as ten years sobriety before, but this is the first time I have known with complete absolution, that I do not have any desire to self-medicate. If you would have asked me two years ago how I felt … Continue reading Cheering For The [Blue] Underdog
During these times of unrest and fear, we are all searching for the truth. Well, I certainly hope we are all searching for the truth. For those who are turning on their television and expecting to hear the truth, please consider the source. Television is nothing more than manipulation, particularly during an election year. Think … Continue reading Fighting The Virus
Louisiana Part One During the 1990s and my first marriage, we used to vacation often. I made good money back then, and my wife made even more. We traveled a lot and visited her dad's family in Louisiana whenever possible. Even though I've lived in Colorado and Montana nearly all of my life, I still … Continue reading Louisiana Part One [Speeding Ticket]
October 7, 1994, The Denver Light Rail System opened for business. Up until then, we relied on the bus for public transportation. The Reginal Transportation District [RTD] does an incredible job of providing public transportation. We are very fortunate to have that infrastructure here in The Mile High City. There is one thing about the … Continue reading Visions & Discernment [Light Rail]
In 1995 Denver International Airport opened to the public. Up until then, we had a different airport named [Stapleton]. I only flew into or out of Stapleton a few times, but I liked it. Because it was located in town, the passenger jets would fly low to the ground and directly over I70. Those were … Continue reading Visions & Discernment [Stapleton Tower]
Something interesting about New York. I've always been intrigued by Rockefeller Center, New York City. I cannot help but notice what's there. First, there stands The United Nations. Next, Atlas, holding up the globe. Next, St. Patrick's Cathedral. And finally, a statue of Prometheus. I believe most of these are well known, but for those … Continue reading Visions & Discernment [Rockefeller Center]
I've always enjoyed stories of Knights and Chivalry. Whether I'm reading a good book or watching a movie, something about these people has ever moved me. Notably, the scenes involving someone being [knighted], and speaking their oaths. I love a proper oath. These days, our world seems to be lacking oaths, vows, and promises. I've … Continue reading Visions & Discernment [The Oath]
There are people in this world who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. These individuals have worked to build a relationship with God, The Universe, or another higher power of their choosing. This bond has moved them towards a selfless calling. Imagine for a moment, meeting someone for the first time and connecting to … Continue reading Visions & Discernment [The Sacrifice]
