Hello there. Yes, i am back. It has been awhile. Many things have been occurring in my life which has kept me from this page. I am making changes in my life. Maybe down the road a little ways I will share some of those things with you.

For now, I plan to move ahead with this blog, writing 2-3 times a week. Sports is always a possibility as I identify with that genre. I will make inroads in political issues, cultural issues, ideas of just about any kind. I just got through reading Fatherhood by Bill Cosby. That's a wonderful book if you like mixing comedy with fact. It's like the song A Spoonful of Sugar from Mary Poppins, facts are easier to swallow when couched with laughter.

There will be the serious side of life, too. Not everything that is good for us tastes good or comforts us. Looking at the world as it really is keeps us informed and can create an atmosphere of proactivity. This is necessary because our freedom is not free. We all must pay a price for the rights and privileges we enjoy. It is not just up to our uniformed militia to keep us free. We civilians must also do our part whereever we live to help make it a better place for the coming generation.

Being independent is great. But over 300 million people cannot live in the same place and be completely independent. Fostering a spirit of interdependence on each other, working together for the benefit of all of us, makes us all stronger.
