I don’t know… Seems to me people do not really go from hero to zero overnight; and certainly not in an instant. If someone spends a lifetime doing everything pretty well, getting most of it right and doing their best to be a positive force for good, but in a single moment makes a significantlyContinue reading “Tragically Flawed”

Another “Hero” Falls?
Does anyone else feel really let down by all the revelations about our old hero, Bill Cosby? Wow; seems surreal… But actually, it reinforces a point that I have often preached, but apparently not heeded. Heros aren’t those people… They aren’t! End of Story! So you may ask, “What do you mean ‘those people?’” Well,Continue reading “Another “Hero” Falls?”
I Fed on His Wonder…He Fed on My Joy
Once, a fairly long time ago, when we had first arranged our basement as a place to watch movies and hang out together as a family, my son and I came across a concert on PBS. It was Yanni’s concert “At The Wall.” Now understand, we had configured this basement viewing room with a newContinue reading “I Fed on His Wonder…He Fed on My Joy”

In Memoriam
And the rain falls like tears when the heavens can no longer take the pain. In quiet pools we reflect on those who have not died in vain.
I knew him… he was a boy…
Recently, I was at a Cincinnati Reds game on a Friday evening. It was a very nice night for a game and we had those special tickets that come with the food and beverage and that special inside area. You know, the ones where you may not see too much of the game, but you will eat andContinue reading “I knew him… he was a boy…”
Tumbleweed
I walked amongst the young last night. Like dry tumbleweed blowing across a thick green lawn. Young firm bodies touched and played as I watched with my sepia glasses on. Rich sweet music rose up from where they were. Young sweet voices raised in harmonious youth. As I cross-faded in and out of visions ofContinue reading “Tumbleweed”
