(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 I’ve found a Friend who is all to me, His love is ever true; I love to tell how He lifted me And what His grace can do for you. CHORUS Saved (I’m saved) by His pow’r … Continue reading #230: Saved, Saved!
Bike Lane as the trash lane
Today's post is possibly a sort of hodgepodge of images and reflections, rather than a really structured logic. Slightly over a year ago I gave myself a note for a blog post item: Wooden pallet in middle of bike lane on Chouteau bridge. I had been riding across the Chouteau bridge, using one of the two bike/pedestrian … Continue reading Bike Lane as the trash lane
A Blast of the Past #115: Market Street, Corning NY
Same trip in 2009. Shot a lot of pictures of Mark Twain, a lot of the Corning Museum of Glass, but the following paltry few of Corning's Market Street. Here they are:
Summer Tour: Birthday Bash
Earlier this summer I did a series of posts on our family tour of several Cedar Fair Parks. That family vacation was bounded by two other non-Cedar Fair events. The first was Liberty Con, which I have posted about. The second is my Mother's birthday bash. Mom is celebrating a significant birthday mile stone today, … Continue reading Summer Tour: Birthday Bash
#229: Tell Me the Old, Old Story
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Tell me the old, old story Of unseen things above, Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love. Tell me the story simply, As to a little child, For I am weak and weary, … Continue reading #229: Tell Me the Old, Old Story
Yellow Submarine in Progress
I don't think this will have any spoilers. Daughter got out the "Yellow Submarine" movie. Watching it right now. Surreal. Seems to be more a showcase for their songs than anything with a plot. But surreal can certainly entertain. Now, if I only knew their music more, I might find some of it more comprehensible. … Continue reading Yellow Submarine in Progress
Fitness Update: Rest
Another short fitness blog. Last week was a week of rest: my sleep tracker indicates my average sleep was longer than it has been in months. But this week I get an assessment and a 6-week plan to help meet my next goals -- whatever those are. So hopefully next week I will have a … Continue reading Fitness Update: Rest

CHORUS I need no other argument, I need no other plea; It … Continue reading #228: My Faith Has Found a Resting Place
The Age of Words
It was almost a year ago that I put a note into my possible post topics file about this. Still not sure I have enough to say, coherently, for a significant length post, but I'll cobble what I do have. My original note was to post about "people not letting me read their shirts". Since … Continue reading The Age of Words
A Blast of the Past #114: Mark Twain
If you grow up in the Southern Tier of New York, especially anywhere near Elmira, you you the importance of Elmira to the life of Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain. Back during Twains Sequicentennial in 1985, in fact, Hannibal, MO had a real imbroglio, while Elmira put on a celebration that far outshone the one … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #114: Mark Twain
