clicking on it), and printed, by pressing
the "ctrl" and "p" keys(on your computers
keyboard), at the same time--
   i printed one, cut it out, and taped it to
the right upper corner of my van's front
windshield...i think it would make a cool
patch for my jacket(still working on that)--
 --looks nice, not for resale  :o)   --

  starting a new company that makes
products, tools, and life, better for
women in the military-- have lots
of ideas already worked out, still
looking for women to work with...

--going the distance--

     wrote this last night, posting it today
to honour someone special--


    to dumb to know when to quit, and
to stubborn to throw in the towel, all in, 
all the way, committed...fully, in every
way--
    be it for love, or country, or both,
whatever the reason, the person is
getting there, and having it...how is
not an issue-
     --the will finds the way,
                        when the hearts all in--

--picking up the pieces--

      something i was thinking about
yesterday--

    a bad moment, rough luck, good
things gone bad...shattered, it happens,
we may not like it, but that's fate, destiny,
or something else entirely--
   how we handle picking up the pieces
and what we choose to do with what's
left, is the whole deal--
   healing often happens when a new
purpose is found, something mended is
something special...to me--

                            --best wishes--

--de'ja' vu--

     my thoughts this morning over

breakfast, my food stayed down, the 

past didn't--

   sometimes a special person comes
along and reaches you deeply, like none
other...
   someone who connects with you
like that, is around many corners, in the
people we meet, and some of the situations
we encounter, not far from our minds, though
they may not be near in person--
   feelings from the heart, reach the head at
odd times, and in strange ways...feels like,
magic--
                        --fries and coffee--

--mending benches--

   every so often on our campus,
someone tips one of our special
stone benches of higher learning--
   i take a certain joy in righting
them...like a young arnold
schwarzenegger between classes--
   what is learning, without some
exertion...
                       --best wishes--

--crapping out--

     this is something that came
to mind yesterday, after a walk--


    the dice, we all roll them, the
outcome can be joy, or hard times,
a miracle, or tragedy, going for it is
just like that--
    yes, it's true you can't lose what
you don't put in the middle, but great
men know it's not what's in the middle
of the table that counts...it's about
going for it--
                           --carpe diem--

--the right thing done wrong--

   i happened upon something on the
side of the road in town today, that
made me pull over--
   sometimes you've got to stop, check
your head, and reflect...


   they had a stone for every person
lost so far during the war on terror...
no names, not one--
   how do you forget something like
that?...i can not--
                           --best wishes--
