Something Named After Me
Daily writing prompt
If you could have something named after you, what would it be?
Having something named after you is leaving a structural, physical legacy. I wouldn’t mind having a mass media and cultural library named after me because I am a pop culture and mass media nerd.
Quote Of The Day
Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the wrong. Sometime in life you will have been all of these.

What I Wanted To Be When I Grew Up, Age 5 Edition
Daily writing prompt
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a firefighter. I loved the TV program Emergency! which was about firefighters and paramedics. The show is still one of my favorites to this day.
Another Shooting – Nashville
There has been another mass shooting in America. This time it was in Nashville, Tennessee at a Christian school. Three students and three adults were killed. I talked about rest yesterday but this is something where no one can rest until something is done. There are many solutions, pick one. It’s better than doing nothing and having people still die. We should all be sick of this. How many lives must perish before something is done? Unfortunately, Tennessee’s governor is fighting culture wars that no one asked to be fought.
