A Life Ended On Israel Street
Just last night a man was shot and killed just two doors from my family’s home here in the Philippines. Two guys wearing masks and riding a motorcycle shot this man eight times. Here I share a few of my thoughts about what happened.
Like a Rolling Stone (Kidney that Is)
My continuing mission to explore strange new medical claims concerning my health. First I thought I had a gall stone, and the doctors thought I had a low thresh hold for pain and a bad muscle spasm. About ten days later I found after all it was just a kidney stone. But what a stone!
TOUGH NIGHT (A Short Story)
Anyone that’s gone to the hospital in excruciating pain can relate to this one. I’m forty-one years old now and although I’ve experience pain like this a couple of other times in my life, it’s this one that stretched for several hours and will be the most difficult to forget.
Time to Get Into Shape
Went to the gym with my fourteen year old son for the first time, he was very excited. I was pretty happy about it myself and looked forward to working out on the elliptical machine that I hadn’t had regular access to in several years. Working out there that day was beautiful.
How Have You Been?
Occasionally I run across someone that hasn’t seen nor heard from me in much detail for several years at a time. When this happens I typically like to take the time to given them a meaningful response.

What do you think about them apples?!?
Opening Up the CherryTree

Time Wasted on Saving Time
I really mean that title too “Time Wasted on Saving Time”. I’ve spent so much time in my life trying to find ways to save time or do things easier. Yes it’s paid off sometimes but then I wonder if I had spent all of those hours upon hours in my life just ‘doing’ the [...]
How this Grinch Plans on Stealing Christmas
November is fast approaching. And this year I would like to move Christmas. I haven’t liked what Christmas has become. I’ve felt that way for nearly twenty years now. And for the last few years, having been given a new more pertinent reason not to like it, I have been protesting in various ways and it hasn’t been without a certain amount of friction felt by family and those closest to me. It’s still not going to be friction free I know. But …
ONLINE Voice to Text Software
Did you guys have any idea that you could go online and do voice to speech recognition. I wrote about half of this article using the New Voice to Text recognition that Google has added to it’s online Google Translation. And I almost didn’t want to write this article because I was thinking to myself [...]
