Author: Sir Rhodri
Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.

Remember the early 21st century? Those first two decades were one of those golden ages of history, not just for the USA, which basically led the world without consciously doing anything, but for the rest of the world that followed in her wake? Don't believe me? Just go read the history from the mid-20th century … Continue reading Yes, that was a golden age …
A Blast of the Past #62: Bowling
One of my favorite memories from 2005 was when I was parental escort for Nathan's preschool class for a bowling field trip. Everyone had a lot of fun, and Nathan bowled some pretty neat frames. I have a picture where he converted a split. Somehow we never seem to do enough of these things in … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #62: Bowling

In the Television special "Swing Out, Sweet Land", from 1970, John Wayne said, "Countries are like people, some take themselves so seriously that you won't get a laugh out of them in a hundred years.

Women who farm
Looking for something to blog about today, and the Peterson Farm Bros posted a link to the below: http://www.carbontv.com/videos/0_ite24b5i?utm_source=CTV&utm_medium=Influencer&utm_campaign=WomenWho It shows the egalitarian nature of farming. They are not female farmers, they are women who are farm. They are farmers. Period. As one of the women interviewed noted: "I work with corn, and corn isn't sexist."
Fitness Update: lull continues
This week's fitness update is going to be a short one. Got 4 laps/100 yards swimming in at the Caribbean Cooler on Sunday. My only swimming for the week. Didn't get a run in: hard to get up early to do them on the current work schedule (need to find right time/motivation). Cycling I got … Continue reading Fitness Update: lull continues

Labor Day Weekend round up, part 1
So today was a busy day, and I'm still processing (well, the computer is doing most of the processing) the images I want to share with today's post. So let me do the writeup, and by the time I get done, I'll still probably have a little more video compiling for the computer to finish. … Continue reading Labor Day Weekend round up, part 1
Coming of age at 21 …
Today celebrates 21 years of marriage for Me and Betsy. We have reached the age of majority. So today will be a panorama of that growth to majority.
