I looked in my Dad’s eyes yesterday, and saw a complete lack of recognition. He did not know who I was at all. For thousands of years, war has taken place over a tiny stretch of land. Millions upon millions have died over this tiny spot consisting largely of dessert. The current inhabitants only live there because no one […]
In the last few years, We the People have displayed the extremes of humanity’s potential. We have pulled together to heal when disaster hits, while in the next moment we condemn others for thinking differently than us. We shout “Love Thy Neighbor!” even as we throw rocks at them. We boldly fight for the right of choice, […]
I have been seriously lacking creative moments recently. I have not written anything in a week or more, and have not even picked up my camera. I would say that I have slipped back into the depression I was struggling with, but I don’t think that is really it. Sure I have been doing a […]
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein What makes humans different from other animals? This is a question that often arises, and seems to have so many possible answers. Some say it is our capacity for humor, others believe it is our capacity for violence. Maybe it […]
My room is hot and muggy. The central air just barely reaches it. So I have a few fans to boost the air movement. I am sitting here, with a random selection of music (Pandora) playing . Saying hello to a random selection of friends from all over. And trying to write a blog post. […]

I have been trying to do things alone for far to long. This is fairly frequently a very unsuccessful strategy. One of my strengths is the ability to step back and approach problems from different angles. When one doesn’t work I try another. But for some reason I fail to do that for myself when […]
It’s that time again. I know you are dreading it. I can see the look of fear in your eyes. But it has to be done. Yep. Looooong overdue. Been weeks even. So sorry guys. Gonna do it. Starting right now. Brace yourself! INTRODUCING … … … … Steve Kramer’s first random bit o’ meaningless […]
Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea; Over snow by winter sown, And through the merry flowers of June, Over grass and over stone, And under mountains in the moon. Roads go ever ever on Under cloud and […]
I have been wandering in shadows lately. Not the shadows of a summer’s evening sky, where there is still the subtle glow of the retiring day. Those are pleasant shadows, shadows that cool and cause peaceful reflections. I have been stuck in the endless dark shadow of the subconscious mind. The irony is that there is no rule that […]
