ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY I PONDER
Merry Christmas!!! T’is the season of goodwill toward all. I sure wish goodwill toward all could be made into a habit to live and let live, here at home and around the world. To make it so, the United States military industrial complex needs to stop acting like the global terrorists they…
Loneliness Unspeakable
“There is in certain living souls a quality of loneliness unspeakable, so great it must be shared as company is shared by lesser beings. Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this that in immensity there is one lonelier than you.” My heart is hurting tonight for a loved one (actually, for more…
IMPEACHED
Our national nightmare isn’t over until the Senate votes (not a happy thought, since it’s GOP-heavy until the next election), but at least it’s on the record–and will be for all time—that DJT has spent significant amounts of his time (I’m being generous here by not writing “most of his time”) in the Oval Office…
DeForest Kelley’s Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
The inscription on this photo reads “Thanks for being there….” (penned and signed by DeForest) “…on our big day!” (penned and signed by Carolyn) The following excerpts mentioning De’s Walk of Fame ceremony are from my book DeForest Kelley Up Close and Personal: A Harvest of Memories from the Fan Who Knew Him Best:…

IMPEACH THE DREAM KILLER
Today the House of Representatives voted, along party lines, to impeach Donald Trump over two articles of impeachment: Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress, both of which have been documented time and time again during his time in office. It’s going to be interesting to see how many GOP’ers in the Senate abuse…
Toddler in Chief Throws Another Tantrum
Our Toddler In Chief is butt-hurt because environmental activist Greta Thunberg was named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019 yesterday. Our Toddler in Chief believes he deserves the honor this year. And last year. And next year. Forevermore. Every. Single. Year. Without. Question. Case. Closed! I…
Last B & G Bazaar of 2019 is This Coming Saturday
The last B&G Sponsored Events Bazaar of 2019 is almost here. On Saturday, December 14th–God willing and the creeks don’t rise (my SUV is going into the shop on Friday for a tune-up. They promise to have it back to me by end of day so I can use it to get to the bazaar)…
Me?! A Trailblazer?
I’m sitting here this morning mulling over the term trailblazer. Defined, trailblazer means “a person who makes a new track through wild country.” Synonyms: explorer pioneer innovator pathfinder When D.C. Fontana passed away the other day, I was deeply saddened, as if I’d lost a friend. Although I never met her,…
Must See Movie: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
If A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood doesn’t earn Tom Hanks an Oscar, I will be not just surprised, but deeply dismayed. Hanks resurrected the man without making him a saint or a hero — something Fred Rogers himself would find satisfying, I hope. I discovered Fred Rogers very late in life–less than a…
