Question of the Day

When was the last time you thought about childhood? You know, back when the big things in life were wonderous.

Quote of the Day

"Courage is fear hanging on just a little bit longer"

Question of the Day

1. What are three cities outside the USA you would like to visit? Plus, what are three cities you wouldn't dare visit?

Waking up early,

Scurrying around,

Cats meowings like feline banshees.

Jersey Town (Poem)

You sit down by the sea

A proper Victorian lady

Reveling in your old memories

As the noisy tourists arrive enticed by your delights.

They walk your shaded streets past old mansions 

And promenade to see

And to be seen.

From New York, Philadelphia and North Jersey,

They invade you every summer

Like mad sea dervishes craving your sun, surf and atmosphere.

Like a true lady you tolerate their bad manners

And loud music until the season ends

When they retreat to their chaos and mayhem 

Leaving you to your quiet gentility.

Cape May, I love you.

Question of the Day (Obama)

(1)  How would you rate President Obama in so far as the job that he has done since he became President ? Please give the reasons why you rated him the way that you did. 

R.I.P. Ted Kennedy

Senator Ted Kennedy has passed and with him the last son of his generation of a noted American family. The Senate is now bereft of a man respected on both sides of the aisle and we need people like him in times like these precarious ones. His family gave as much to the service of our nation as any family in our history. The Kennedys had their faults and dark secrets, but they were American to the core. And they never forgot the common man and woman which made them special too. Perhaps the pain in their own lives fueled their compassion for less fortunate Americans. May God bless Ted Kennedy.

Night Owl (A Poem)

Yawn

I do

Late at night..

Silence.

It is

The humming air conditioner.

Trying to think

While Sleep comes to me,

Emily Dickinson

Is your ghost

Lurking outside my door ?
