Quote Of The Day

I imagine that one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, that once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain. James Baldwin

It’s Friday! (I Didn’t Forget)

Happy Friday friends. The music group The Cure said it very well here. We all love Fridays!

Fall Weather Finally In #Chattanooga

Fall weather finally arrived. It’s been unseasonably warm here in Chattanooga but alas it feels good outside.

Quote Of The Day

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit… Khalil Gibran

Fall For Chilli

First chill of the fall. It got cool enough to make it. It’s gonna be good. Served with corn chips, sour cream and cheese it makes a very hearty meal to warm you up.

October 11th Is The Day Of The Girl #DayoftheGirl

It might be strange for a man with no children of his own to write about the observation of The Day Of The Girl. But as a human being its a great way to encourage girls to dream big, learn much and to grow up to be whatever she wants to be. It doesn’t serve humanity to put up barriers for girls who want to achieve great things that will benefit us all. I think young women are doing amazing things and all they want to do is have fun in reaching for the stars. Give a girl an opportunity and they will seize upon it, the same goes for a woman.
