A Father’s Day Dream

June 15, 2008 – 7:50 pm

Originally written on 17 June 1996
I had a dream with my father in it. He was young. My age and he was very handsome. We seem to get along quite well. I seem to have also been travelling with another buddy who appeared to be like Nick Nolte. We were flying in a plane and [...]

Retrospection

January 1, 2008 – 12:01 am

My earliest memory is undefined as such. There is no one memory that sticks out from the rest. To me they are the pictures in the box in the attic of my relative’s houses. I look at them and understand what they are of and who is in the pictures. I don’t remember the time [...]

That’d be the good news, because the bad news was encountering another blocked off area in an airport without access [...]

Irregardless of which shoppe, it’s sometimes perfunctory for normal folks to make weird out-of-place comments about inane arbitrary moments in time. This doesn’t happen in big cities. Folks there, normal or [...]

Memories: Found On Road Dead

January 29, 2007 – 1:14 pm

My father bought a new pick-up truck in 1974. I grew up knowing that truck. Long story short, he bequeathed that truck to me in 1990. For the next six years, I drove that truck from middle America to the right, left, south, and north of all the continental united states. I even dragged it [...]

Why I went to Wikimania 2006

August 8, 2006 – 8:34 am

Just as it started it ends. What did learn? A month later, I’m looking back to see if it was worth it.

Jack’s Burden

January 6, 2005 – 11:38 pm

Originally written in Spring 1996
Robert Penn Warren, in All the King’s Men, uses the crumbling of a political regime as background for Jack Burden’s search for self-confidence and self-esteem, which were really steps in his search for himself.
Men search. Jack learned that life was a series of unrelated events in which one’s actions were so [...]

Not everyone needs a history lesson, but there are those of you who may. Which most always includes me!
