More Beautiful Colors for the Season!!

Youth is like spring, an over-praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. 
Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits."
-   Samuel Butler


"Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn."
-   Elizabeth Lawrence


"October's poplars are flaming torches 
lighting the way to winter."
-   Nova Bair

One Quiet Moment

It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, "Always do what you are afraid to do.

One Quiet Moment


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

Rabindranath Tagore

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.
