August 29, 2025, I turned 56 years old. I will tell you that aging ages a man. Seriously, I am grateful for all the years I have been gifted. Today I reflect on what has been and what I hope will come in the future. I don’t always feel worthy, but I do appreciate all of those I have shared this life with. Thank you to my family and friends who put up with me. Let’s hope for more wacky fun down the road. Happy Birthday to me!

The Swift-Kelce’s – An Engagement For The Ages
I admit, I am a bit of a Swiftie. Taylor Swift is a generational talent who has worked hard for her success. She is a songwriter, performer, actor, philanthropist, and producer. It was announced today that she and Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce who is also a solid entertainer are engaged to be married. That news sent the Interwebs into overdrive today.
I find this to be a needed joyful moment, considering how much we need joy right now. It shouldn’t be up to a young engaged couple, no matter their celebrity, to lift the spirits of millions of people. But in the situation that exists in America it’s what will lift spirits and spark imagination.
They are a lovely modern couple. They have been together for two years and have weathered her box office breaking Eras Tour and his trips to the Super Bowl. Guys, who have a problem with her, get over it. She has done a lot for the game of Football by bringing her Swifties along for the ride.
I think it’s great they are taking the next step. I think their wedding is going to be a significant cultural event, but hopefully it will be what they want it to be, a time to celebrate a couple tying the knot. God bless them both as they enter into their marriage, which is way more important than the wedding. Let’s hope They Are Ready For It.
Remember The Days
Remember the good ole days when we all could agree that slave owners, nazis and predators are the bad guys? I do and apparently some don’t.
Back At Work
After a great vacation in Montana with Family it’s back to work for me. Let’s see what happens today. Have a great day good people.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Credit
Being creative is fun, and it’s even more fun when you inspire others in your works. The use of someone’s work should come with acknowledgement and credit. I really strive to be original, but I do need inspiration now and then. My posts here include words, images, videos and other types of media from various sources.
I want to offer them thanks for allowing me to use this in a fair use way where I do not financially benefit. A little credit is a great way to be a good blogging neighbor. I want to thank Catherine for her inspiring me to write this post. Check out her article https://micqu.org/2025/07/28/credit-where-credit-is-due/ to gain more insight.
