When you're 66 years old; have trouble seeing, and need a vacation.

So, now the videos (a few) are uploaded; a few pictures I've labeled, and some posts that let me speak my mind, I think it's time for a rest.

My eyes are tired; I need new glasses, and I'm heading out to visit family and friends in California, Ohio, and Michigan before the year is out.

It's been a great year; met lots of 'blogger-buddies' - learned a lot about how people feel from e-mails I receive in all parts of the country.

It is an era of information - a time when no one can claim to be 'unaware or uninformed', if you'll just seek, find, and use your brain - the thing that still ticks inside of you as it joins up with the morals you were taught by your ancestors, and the heart that still beats inside your chest.

I hope we have a country that will grow strong and honorable again; how that happens, puzzles me right now so I'm going to take a break and trust that right will prevail. What is right? Don't ask me to define it from my point of view - I see too many feel right and wrong can be defined, but I see the evidence of what I think is right and wrong and it surely doesn't match up with many of those who I share my views with.
