Happy Anniversary

The Carters are celebrating their 75 years of marriage today. They are the longest in presidential history. Jimmy, 96, and Rosalynn, 93, mark this special occasion in the town where they met nearly one hundred years ago.
May God continue to bless this amazing couple of love birds in paradise after a young midshipman needed a date one evening while he was home from the U.S. Naval Academy, in Annapolis so his younger sister paired him with a family friend who already had a crush on him from way back.
Truth and Democracy

The rise of Fascism in Spain followed a classic trajectory that can serve as a blueprint for how Democracy can be destroyed.
My grandfather's family fled Fascism in Spain and my dad's family lost everything when we left Communism in Cuba. These facts underline how liars can dismantle our fragile Democracy.

God Bless and Love Them - I Do

Happy Fathers Day Weekend. Whether you're a father, or by marriage, or a parent who adopted. I love my kids and all my grandchildren.
However, I am a divorced dad living at a distance who at a ripe old age realizes a limited connection to my family. My adult kids are mostly married with children who know how to reach me. I always reached out to them and miss my DaD and grandfathers.

Inspiration Aspiration Motivation

These important words, inspiration and aspiration, and motivation are different and distinct. They are often used interchangeably, but should never be.
The reason why I bring it up at this time is that as schools are wrapping up one of the most difficult academic years ever, it is time to reflect and learn the difference between them.
It is important to draw a clearer distinction. Inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something.
GOP Neanderthals?

Neanderthals are believed to be an extinct species or perhaps a subspecies of archaic humans who once lived on earth until about 40K years ago, according to published data from Wikipedia.
They reportedly became extinct due to assimilation into the modern human genome, great climatic change, disease, or perhaps a strange combination of all of the factors listed.
