Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you
nothing. It was here first.
Mark Twain

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living
that suits all cases.

Snow and adolescence are the only problems that disappear if you ignore them
long enough.

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

Age considers; youth ventures.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add color to my sunset sky.

design for the present.

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

Fun in the Fog

It was very foggy this morning and my son, Adam, mentioned it might be good for some interesting shots at the beach. He was working from home today and about lunch time he suggested we take off and see what I could find. We loaded both dogs into the car and took off. It was perfect! Here you see an empty nest in a nearly bare tree. Click on any of the photos to enlarge.
Here on the sand I could look up and see all the fall colors. It could have felt really lonely and isolated I guess, but it didn't. There was a stillness, a peacefulness that made it one of those priceless moments that you know you'll never forget. Just me and Adam and the dogs and beauty all around.

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.
