The good ole days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.

Billy Joel


I have been on this trip around the sun enough times to see things go good and bad...so I try to keep things in perspective and remember what is important.

    No matter where you are at, it can always get worse and it can always get better, be patient. Thank God for His patience.

    Don't take everything so serious. Ain't none of us gettin' out of here alive!

    Billy Joel figured out most things good or bad are at best fleeting;

    The rise of electronic media both exaggerates and then quickly diminishes the impact of any current events. People don't have the time to appreciate or worry about yesterday because the quickly communicated events of today crowd out yesterdays events in the public awareness. We have become a society that needs its daily outrage fix to keep us occupied. When the days events aren't worrisome enough, some folks create conspiracy theories to achieve their outrage fix. I have never understood the psyche that is actually happier when worried or outraged. Bob

    Another day, another beer... I try not to worry too much, but sometimes it gets the best of me...

    I had to quit reading the comment sections of various news stories in order to keep my faith in my fellow man.


    The actual TRUTH was coming on so scary that I was beginning to have nightmares that there was very little intelligent life left here on earth!

    Funny coincidence, I had that song stuck in my head most of yesterday.

    The good old days are over and gone for good. But I would give everything or do anything no matter what it is to go back to just visit the two best good old days of my life. I would even settle for just one.

    One would be in Fall of 1958 and one in Summer of 1967 in return for all the rest of the days I have left. Just two, the day I met the beautiful little blonde haired blue eyed girl that was walking up the stairs from the 3rd grade classroom to where I was standing that would one day become my wife and the day we married in 1967.
