A welcome to readers

As a resident of this planet for more than four fifths of a century, I have enjoyed both successes and disappointments in a wide variety of vocations, avocations, and life experiences. This blog satisfies my desire to share some thoughts and observations--trenchant and prosaic--with those who are searching for diversions which are interesting, poignant and occasionally funny. I also plan to share recommendations about good/great movies I've watched and books and articles which I've found particularly mind-opening, entertaining, instructive. In addition, I can't pass up the opportunity to reflect publicly on how I am experiencing the so-called Golden Years. Write anytime:

THE TRAGEDY OF IRAQ IS AMERICA"S TRAJEDY

This morning I read the following article by Chris Hedges.  I was almost brought to tears by the truth of what I read.  Hedges gave my perspective some clarity, unfortunately. Consider the implications of colonialism as a national policy…driven by individual and corporate greed and hubris. It is with sadness that  I share it with you.
