grandad always revisited

August14

Stopping, perhaps for just a moment, to consider my options and my blessings.

My Granddad did many great things with his life (especially be in my life). But, he probably said a lot of really terrific things that helped many other people be inspired to be a better man than himself.

The best thing he ever said around me was:

“If you must judge a fellow, do it by the people around him”.

I know. I know. I know. You’ve read that here many a time.

But, nary a day passes when the words realize ever greater meaning in my own life.

Peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

Meanwhile, here, I discuss events, people and things in our world - and, my (hardly simplistic, albeit inarticulate) views around them.

You'll also learn things about, well, things, like people you need to know about, and information about companies you can't find anywhere else.

So, while I harangue the public in my not so gentle way, you will discover that I am fascinated by all things arcane, curious about those whom appear religious, love music, dabble in politics, loathe the media, value education, still think I am an athlete, and might offer a recipe.

All the while, striving mightily, and daily, to remain a prudent and optimistic gentleman - and, authentic.
