Blog postThere is always something to be thankful for. Thanksgiving 2021 is no exception.
My mom passed away this fall. So did one of my aunts. Yet even with funerals and memorials and adjusting to life without them, I still have lots to be thankful for. Lots.
I am most thankful for my parents. They were wonderful people. People with flaws to be sure. But they were always there for us. They taught us that our family is there for each other regardless of how much we have hurt ea -
Blog postThe word defecate is a tremendous word.
I like to think about words. I know. Not necessarily a strange thing for a writer. After all, writers should have good command of the language they write in. For instance, English is not Latin, so you can actually end sentences with prepositions and nobody cares. Except those who were taught by old time teachers who imposed their Latin rules on English writing.
At any rate, having a good vocabulary is part of having a good comman -
Blog postRegardless of our current culture of blame, I am thankful for veterans and active duty personnel who vow to defend the United States Constitution for all people.
Veterans Day is November 11. It is not just a day off from work. It is a day to remember. To remember those veterans who have served in the U.S. military to uphold and defend the Constitution of these United States. To remember those who have fallen. To remember that there is a price for freedom. There are others who have fou -
Blog postSometimes I break the rules of writing by accident, but usually it is on purpose.
I used to like to break the rules of writing when I was younger. Just to do it. Just because I figured I could get away with it. Just because they told me not to. It was all great fun. My favorite rule to break was starting sentences with because. I am not even sure why that was my favorite rule to break. Perhaps it was just to be contrary. I do not know. However, I do know that I stopped doing it becaus -
Blog postDigital photographs wreak havoc on the psyche.
I have already written my complaint about digital photographs, but it has hit me square in the jaw again. Digital pictures of loved ones are too real. And they do not fade with time.
Back in the old days, pictures would get discolored with age. They would get a yellow hue to them. Their edges would get beat up with handling if they were not in an album. They would get cracks and creases in them too. In other words, pictures would -
Blog postMargie (Matsushima) Miyoshi
(May 31, 1942 – September 16, 2021)
Margie (Matsushima) Miyoshi was born on May 31, 1942 and went to meet her Lord Jesus on September 16, 2021. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. A loving and caring sister, aunt, and friend.
There are many traits that define a person, but the trait that stands out the most about my mom is hospitality. That might seem like an odd single word to describe a person, but it fits. After all, hospitali -
Blog postEpilogue Joe saw Garth a few weeks later as they were both preparing to enjoy the Saturday sunshine.
“Say. Did you hear the latest?”
Garth replied, “You mean the vaccination lottery? Oh yeah. I saw it in the newspaper this morning and on social media last night. I couldn’t believe my eyes.”
“I know what you mean. In fact, it gives guys like you more credibility.”
“Guys like me?” Garth feigned indignance. Then showed his pride. “You mean conspiracy theorists.” -
Blog postPart 2: Conspiracy Theorist Garth was out on his hammock by the fence when Joe walked out onto his back patio. Their small yards had barely enough room to house their respective humble outdoor furnishings. Joe could sit on his outdoor couch and sip his beer and talk to Garth without either of them having to raise their voices.
“I thought you were going out to celebrate some milestone at work tonight.”
Joe grumbled. “I was. But they were going to send us to the back of the bus -
Blog postPart 1: No Card “We have a reservation for six at six.”
“Whose name is the reservation under?”
“Pauline.”
“I see it.” The maître d’ looked up from her book. “May I see your cards?”
The party of six reached for their wallets in pockets and purses. Joe grumbled, “I thought this was a restaurant, not a bar. Why do you need to see our IDs?”
Everybody stared at Joe. The maître d’ was also astounded. “Uh… Not your ID sir. I need to see your vacci -
Blog postShe was the dog who loved my children
She was the dog who loved my wife
She was the dog who loved us unconditionally
Every day of her life They say all dogs go to heaven

Especially, Yukiko
Yukiko

Without our little dog around
I do not know how life will be
Which is why I hope in heaven
To find our little Yuki
