Sky Watch

World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just the absence of violence but the manifestation of human compassion.
Dalai Lama
Welcome to Sky Watch!! Join us and share the beauty of your skies as we watch the changing season!!

There is no way to peace.  Peace is the way.  Mahatma Ghandi

I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of the way and let them have it.

How bravely Autumn paints upon the sky
The gorgeous fame of Summer which is fled!

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
