A milestone is a physical marker showing the distance between two points.
It’s also used as a physical marker that can be a reference point.
These physical markers were used in times past to help the romans and other civilizations find their way and guide others.
Nowadays we have those posts on the highways showing… that’s right… the distance between one mile and another. The bigger ones can help you when you need to fill up on gasoline or find a place to crash for the night. Continue reading
I like music. Who doesn’t? For myself almost any type is fine as i’m generally not too picky. Some types i will listen to if it’s on but not tune to it on my own.
This past weekend i went to a nice concert by the local philharmonic. Three different pieces. Prokofiev: Overture on Hebrew Themes, Walton: Viola Concerto, and Dvořák: Symphony No. 8. Two before intermission and one after. All of them were enjoyable, more so with the help of the preconcert lecture from the conductor. For anyone that hasn’t gone to a preconcert lecture, it would be analogous to the ‘making of’ for a movie. The extra information can help enhance the viewing experience with a greater appreciation and understanding. Continue reading
In this day and age speed is the key right? You have to search around for some roses in order to stop and smell them.

Instead of a monday morning edition, I’m going to try and start my sunday evening (word)press. I think it will help me to be more on top of writing…
A random, but similar, connection of events was the spark.
We have the Winter Olympics in Sochi this year. Ideally the top in the world, the cream of the crop, pushing the limits of safety to take the gold and the international acclaim until the next Olympics.
I have also started my spring tennis USTA men’s 3.0 practice.
As well for my own reasons I was reading about the history of cricket. Continue reading
Most of us have experienced a time out of the home where we are paying for something and it just wasn’t good. I’m not saying you didn’t like it because it had a vegetable you don’t eat. This is a time when the quality was lacking, which may include the food not being done properly leading to you not liking it. Why not tell the waiter/manager/chef at a restaurant that the food wasn’t good? (You can also tell them if you enjoyed it as well.) Continue reading
“Blood relative” now is genetics. Blood used to be mysetical and powerful. In many ways the genetic blood of today can be quite powerful as well. Monozygotic (identical) twins can be looked at genetically to see similarities and differences and geneteics influcence on them.
Ok. Who took the weekend away and replaced it with monday? I enjoy writing and try to have something for monday morning if for no other reason than it helps to keep me writing. I also have come to realize how much of a gift it is to have others out there in the ether interested in my musings and what started as my own journal is also an inlet for others.
I remember having a thought that monday was quickly approaching but i completely lost track this time. Aptly relevant and the reason for this post.
Sabotage can occur at any time and in any part of life.
But i’m not talking about corporate sabotage or terrorist activities. What i want to talk about is far far worse and more destructive than i could have ever imagined. Why? Because it is deeply personal to each and every one of us. Continue reading
Intuitions and gut feelings.
Many of us have had one or more. Continue reading

As I wrote this down I was at first appalled at myself but then I remembered why I wrote it down to begin with. It had to do with a flight… Continue reading
