I have always been more of a Robert W Service sort of guy myself. The shooting of Dan McGrew is one of my favorite. The Spell of the Yukon is a close second.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.


Got a photo from a speeding camera in the mail. I immediately sent it back - way too expensive and really poor quality.

There is a Bridge in Philly....named the Walt Whitman Bridge.

I remember it as a kid in the 4th grade..living on the Navy Base

Each morning when I wake I say I'll put my hand in God's today,
with faith and trust that by my side, He'll walk with me my steps to guide.
He leads me with the tenderest care when days are dark and I despair,
no need for me to understand if I but hold fast to His hand.
My hand in His no surer way to make it safely through the day.
By His bounty I am fed, warmed by His love and comforted.
And when at night I seek my rest, and realize how much I'm blessed,
my thanks go out to Him and then, I put my hand in his again.


Each day is a gift. LIVE IT with gratitude.
