Blackout Tuesday, June 2, 2020.  A loose summation from wikipedia: a collective action to protest racism and police brutality, originally organized within the music industry in response to the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor. Businesses taking part were encouraged to abstain from releasing music and other business operations.

I can’t emphasize the word STUPID enough! more »

As I begin this post we are in the initial stages of this virus taking off here in the U.S.  Never before in my lifetime have I experienced such a thing as this which is causing the country to essentially close in every way.  The closest was 9-11, which severely impacted travel in this country, but only by air, and only for a short time.  Restaurants, bars, business, all remained open with the exception of that day and areas affected such as New York.  It did have the amazing affect of uniting us all.  This time however the political divide in this country is far too great for this most insidious and invisible enemy to accomplish that.  Worse yet the recommended “social distancing” is keeping those who can unite, apart.  This is arguably the biggest threat to this nation we’ve faced in quite some time and people are still unable to lay aside partisan political horse dung.  That is an exceptionally sad commentary on this society. more »

No, not the movies or the television series.  Not the rye whiskey. Not the various businesses or songs.  Not even the most awesome song by Max Webster off the 1978 “Mutiny Up My Sleeve” album.

No, this is possibly best summed up by The Cambridge Dictionary as simply “to say that you agree with something but do nothing to support it”.  Yeah, or maybe just “all talk and no action”. Why, you might wonder, is this a topic for a post here? Well it’s one of those life and faith lessons that, when you least expect it, smacks you hard in the face. more »

Pardon this interruption of our typical posts for a rude awakening.  I started to send this article link to a few friends and realized I was writing something a bit more.

What is sickening?  Human sacrifice in the age of the enlightened, in a nation with supposed protections in place to avert such horrific things.  Ah, but people do change their minds don’t they?

It occurred to me the other day, that I haven’t posted in quite a while.  Aside from the numerous problems that don’t seem to ever have an end, there’s not a lot to write about.  No one wants to read about my issues.  We ALL have issues.  Some times the sea is smooth like glass.  Other times it’s angry and violent.  We all are adrift on that same sea, merely in different locations.  So with that said… let’s proceed with politics, music, faith…

Yep, the title really is that long.  The movie is also fairly long clocking in at 2 hours and 40 minutes.  But let’s face it, to give this subject matter it’s due requires some time.  There have been many films made about Christ and this is not the longest.  Yet this is perhaps one of, if not the best. more »

I don’t know how I missed this 1995 murder mystery for so many years.  Based on a true story about what is probably the worst serial killer every known in recorded history.  It took place in the Soviet Union where such things were hidden as an embarrassment to the state.  It features a superb cast and stellar acting.  It’s a great movie if you get a chance to see it.  (IMDB)
