A Good Life You are right I know you do not hear that often enough to please you but this time you are right chocolate cream pie in Missoula on the 4th of July is no small thing nor is the Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway or a flyover of military jets as we…

I Stand with Israel I cannot imagine that anyone who knows me or has read That Is All For Now, can in anyway doubt where I stand on today’s historic speech, by Prime Minister Netanyahu; I stand with the Prime Minister and I stand with Israel.  I believe we are about to witness a historic…

Nature

Not So Fast   I tend to wait a rather long time before giving up on a plant, even a weed.  I often think a plant in distress is just going through a rough period, and will get better, or at least might get better.  That might is usually enough of an incentive to make…

  Gilad Shalit “Then Jesus told them this parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.  Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?  And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes…

Do You Remember   Do you remember the day we met? Everything seemed so ordinary, I could not have imagined what that encounter would mean. It was your earrings which drew me to you. They did not match. I figured it was with intent; But was not sufficiently sophisticated to know that was the look…
