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:

MAKE A DIFFERENCE, ONE SOCCER BALL AT A TIME

Just signed up to donate a new design of soccer ball for kids to use anywhere.  What a great invention and idea.  Worth supporting. Make a real difference in the lives of kids with no access to regulation soccer balls or playing fields. It occurs to me that diverting the testosterone-fuelled energies of young men around the world into competitive sports is not a bad strategy for peacemakers.
