Senior Thoughts
I have never thought of myself as a Senior though my age would indicate I have been one for some time. To often seniors are all considered to be in one box when reality seniors are like a superstore with a little bit of everything. In this section, I will discuss bits of everything.
Chichen Itza, Tequila, New BFFs
Just got back from spending week in Mexico. Like every other time I have been to Mexico, I had a wonderful time. I love Mexico and could easily live there. The first time I went to Mexico was in the mid-1970s was to visit my brother who was working in Mexico as an engineer. Almost…
The Teachings of Jesus and MAGA
Can you be a follower of the teachings of Jesus and be a MAGA? I have wondered that a lot, especially recently. My Christian Ethics professor in college stressed to be ethical one must be consistent. One cannot be a follower of teachings of Jesus and have situational ethics. I have often heard people who…
Merry Kidney Anniversary
I was playing pickle ball with my favorite pickle ball partner, J, against a couple, C&M, who are good friends and excellent PB players. Actually, I am not sure the couple actually likes me and I am probably J’s least favorite partner. Anyway, there is a lot of banter between C and I when we…
Waking Up Broke
I had my recurring dream/nightmare right before Thanksgiving. The dream has many versions but the same theme each time. I am broke. I have had this ongoing dream/nightmare for almost 40 over years. I have been broke at times in my life. Growing up on the farm we did not have any money. I kinda…
Saying Vs Being A Christian
When I was in college, there was a movement on campus by some students, we called them god squaders, asking other students “if they had found Jesus”. My answer was always the same, I did not know he was lost, but I will help you look for him. Unbelievably, they never found that funny. One…

This past Saturday millions of Americans participated in the “No Kings” rally and millions upon millions more supported them. The participants and their supporters across all 50 states are protesting Trump policies. But more important, they and all of us are protesting a man who wants to become a dictator along with all of his…
You Cann’t Fix Stupid, But
If the village idiot is appointed as the head of health care, whose dumber, the person who appointed him, the members of Senate who confirmed him, or all the people who voted for all of them. I mean, its not the village idiot’s fault. You get to be the village idiot by doing idiot stuff.…
PO’D at Sexual Predators
I tore a guy a new hole the other day at the PB courts. I was getting ready to take a lesson and he was leaving. I regularly take lessons and they have really helped my game. This was a new instructor who had just finished college. At one time she was ranked 15th in…
Church?
I don’t remember the first time I went to church, that’s because I was only a few days old. I went to a small country Swedish Lutheran [LCA] church in NW Minnesota. Going to church was very important to farming communities because in farming, especially in the 1950s and for thousands of years before that,…
