Here are some more truths which I like:
GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don’t hurt.
3) Families are like fudge…mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the […]
Henry here. When I was a boy I learned how to put a harness on our horses. Being so little it was hard, and the horses teased me by squeezing me against the side of the stall. It was a major achievement, and necessary for the ongoing work on the fields but I will likely […]
Greetings everyone, Steve here. Just a minute this morning, but I wanted to share this. It’s been seen before, but it’s worth repeating. I just bought a new computer and I thought it would be good to give it a proper blessing so that it keeps running perfectly, so from Technobabble by John Barry, here’s […]
Henry here. What do you think of this war on terror? It makes one think that terror is something new, fought by a new kind of enemy, and that all we have to do is go out an “get the suckers.”

Henry here. The attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11 forces itself into the center of our attention at this time of the year. The attack started what the Bush administration calls “The War On Terror”. The disasters of Afghanistan and Iraq followed.
One image that stands out for me about that day is the […]
Henry here. Both my parents are dead. I do not remember what I was doing when I heard that my mother was deathly ill. I remember much around the trip home and her funeral but not what I was doing when I got the phone call.
Neither do I remember what I was doing when […]
Henry here. I heard a broadcast of an interview with Osama Bin Laden in which he said something like with God’s help he had organized al quaeda and hoped to kill a lot of Americans.
