Watch This
My grandson would yell out, “Mom watch this!” She could be in another room and yell back, “Watching!” Being totally satisfied he stood out, the 3 yr old would continue with his adventure. I spent a lifetime trying not to stand out. In most crowds I am far more comfortable being a fly on the…

Raging River
There are lots of things to enjoy about rivers and streams. You can read more in last week’s perspective River Through It or the next week’s Tame the River Rivers have power to fulfill their purpose of moving massive amounts of water from the land to be collected in larger unmoving bodies. Safe ones. Humans…

Honor A Brother
I am wishing you a Happy Friday as my first words, because this is not my typical Friday post. It is a tribute to a man I knew in college whom I consider a hero. As a Fraternity brother, he was there for his brothers in their pain and time of struggle with how to…

Ninjago News
As per Ninjago beat reporter Bella Herrera. This is unusual for a perspective. I may think like a kid, and too often act like a kid, but I am diving into the children’s world for this one. A brief background will be needed for those who are not so child-like as I. Ninjago is the…

Compute this?
We had one of the first Apple computers because my brother worked for Apple. He was 18 and went to a guy’s house a couple of miles away to assemble computers in the basement. It took 1 week to assemble each computer, and at the end of the summer, he purchased one of those computers…
