My father-in-law passed away a while ago. We had a rather tempestuous relationship, to say the very least. I knew him for more than 30 years, and in that time I watched as alcohol and bitterness ate away at his soul and body until there was little left functioning of either one.
I had to leave town while he was in the ICU. I stepped in to say goodbye. He greeted me weakly with the tenderest and most genuine smile I had ever seen on his face. He wanted to know if I liked my new job, and seemed ...

A life in the day



I will attain Dawn's summit;
Possess the Bluest skies;
I'll hold the Golden sunset;
'til night shall close my eyes.

When truth is distilled by political correctness in a vain attempt to make it universally palatable, it invariably mutates into a lie. And since all lies are evil, don't you think it is time for the light of truth to shine once again throughout our troubled nation?

I was walking down the hall one day last year. I was walking fast, as I always do. At work when I have to go somewhere I am always in a hurry. I work in a hospital.

There was an old woman in the hall, a patient. She was moving slowly, using her walker for support. It was plain to see that every step was an effort of will over weariness. She was tiny; the top of her white-haired head didn't stand as far from the ground as my chest.

I passed her on the right, slowing a ...

One of my patients several years ago was a man in his late 80's. His health was failing rapidly, and he knew he didn't have many days left. It was said that he was a millionaire.
Near the end he was asked if there was anyone we could call, and he said no. I know that he had grown children and even grandchildren, but there was nobody there for him. He told one of the nurses about two days before he died that he had spent his whole life making himself rich and letting his wife raise the kids. ...

I wrote this when I had come to a fork in the road. I decided to give up a secure job that was killing me for an uncertain future.

Three years later, things are working out very well...

The definition of a desert is quite specific. To qualify as a desert an area must recieve less than 250 mm of precipitation annually. Something like one third of the surface of the earth is desert.

There are others sorts of deserts, though. There

What is my view on Hate Speech Laws? I ask myself this question given that I actively participate in a free-speech forum touching on all kinds of issues from a life well lived and yet I do live in a country with such laws. I feel a need to at least work through some of this antitheticalness in my being.

I readily admit to wavering lately on the issue of the appropriateness of Hate Speech Laws inasmuch as I do recognise the slippery slope of censorship: Today I cannot say something ...

The next time you chance to visit a rest home, take a good look at the photographs you find there. In almost every room you’ll see them. Moments, usually happy ones, frozen in time. Black-and-white images of people, often in the prime of life, faces unlined except for smiles, staring into your eyes.
Some photographs, though, show other emotions. A mother and father, seven children around them, lined up beside a twenties-vintage sedan. Mother is seated in an old chair with a baby in her arms. ...

Conspiracy theories are not all of a type. Nor are they all untrue, but most of them are. Most of them fail under the withering stare of cold simple logic.
The ones that can pass this test deserve closer examination.

One of those types of 'World Domination' plot types fails because it contradicts the very foundation of what we know of human nature. (There are other WDP's that don't have this flaw, or only to a small degree.)

It is the Theory that there is a hidden ...
