Author: My life so far

  • A nice poem from the late Carl Sandburg My head knocks against the stars.My feet are on the hilltops.My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.I have been to hell and back many times.I know…

  • Zuzigoot National Monument. Some History and beautiful pictures

    I recently took a trip up north and visited the Tuzigoot Monument near Cottonwood, Arizona. The Tuzigoot Monument was a Pueblo ruin that was about 2 to 3 stories at the time of its construction. Believed to have been built between 1125 and 1400 CE by the Sinagua people. This building had few doors and…

  • Sorry I haven’t posted in a while but I was busy trying to get some things done, and I was also traveling. I had been wanting to start posting again but kept putting it off until this past week. Watching the mess in Afghanistan this last week made me reflect back on all that has…

  • Well, Baylor won and congrats to them. However, to anyone who made a bracket, I am sorry you wasted your time. In fact only a small percentage had them winning at all. Also, no one picked them to win by 15, much less by one. I picked Gonzaga and was stunned at last night’s outcome,…

  • Two weeks ago we got tested and cleared to go to Hawaii. It was only a 4 day trip but it was certainly a tripped needed after this last year of one of the worst pandemic in recent memory. We decided to take trip and see how difficult it would be able to fly into…

  • I figured I would make Friday a short one and do a review of this classic album that I own. Carole King’s 1971 hit album “Tapestry”. Released in 1971 Tapestry became a hit album in the US. Selling over 13 million copies since. It was number 1 on the billboard for 15 consecutive weeks (longest…

  • One thing I have developed, is a hobby of vinyl. Yes, I know some people are asking. Why would I collect them when we have all these capabilities to listen to them through apps such as Spotify, Pandora, iTunes, or Amazon? Well, to be honest its more nostalgia and reminiscing memories. The Hobby began in…

  • Went on a nice little hike this morning. My better half was out getting her first Covid Vaccine which was great to know. I am still waiting on when I am eligible. I take these hikes because of the view but also to clear my mind. I always have something running in my head. From…

  • My name is Michael and I am recently retired. I am here because I am looking for new creative outlets and I figured I would try a blog. I will do my best to stay on top of this. I will cover events in my life, my interests, thoughts, and things going in my life.…
