Stupid
What do you complain about the most? Without a doubt I complain most about stupidity. Everyone wants to believe that they are smart but it’s just not true. People do really dumb things and blame society. But in all fairness a lot of things about society are pretty dumb too. Everything happens for a reason.…

Bowling and Wrestling
What are your favorite sports to watch and play? I have not gone bowling in a long time, but if someone invites me to play a sport that is the one to which I will most likely answer: Yes.

Good and Well
I am good and well this evening. We’ve done our errands and a little pleasure shopping. I am free from physical, mental, and emotional pain at the moment. If I’ve done any good in the world today I hope it somehow relates to our new bumper sticker. It reads “Freedom of Religion Means ANY Religion.”…
