I always enjoyed contemporary issues that discussed current events and some history behind them. As a matter of fact, I am still in contact with my teacher who taught that class to this day. It’s important to be aware of and have some background on what is happening in the times we live in. I am wondering what we would be talking about concerning the election cycle we have been through.

My Culinary Specialties
I love cooking breakfast on Saturday mornings. My specialties include pancakes, waffles, biscuits and gravy, breakfast burritos, omelets, scrambled eggs, and that sort of thing. This morning I made scratch-made pancakes. I also enjoy making basic Italian food like spaghetti. On weekdays I do spam with mac and cheese in about 10 minutes. It’s good to have things you can do in the kitchen so you don’t have to eat out so often.
Something To Try For The First Time – Skydiving
I am usually a play-it-safe guy, but I would consider skydiving. It seems like a thrill ride from a few thousand feet in the air. Of course, I would want to skydive tethered to an experienced person who could do a huge part of the work and would guarantee I would make it back on the ground safely. All of it seems like a lot of fun or something like that.
My Million Dollar Give Away
Daily writing prompt
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?
This is an interesting question because so many deserving causes need help. I would give a sizable gift to my church which also runs a school. Then I would donate some to my high school and college alma mater. I would give to organizations that tackle hunger and homelessness in my community. We have a shelter dog and I would donate to an animal shelter where he came from. The Red Cross helps people during disasters and I can speak from experience there.
The thing about it is that I don’t have to have a million to give. Small gifts are welcome too.
The Music and Me
There is a constant mental jukebox running in my head. Music is a vital part of my life. I gain comfort, wisdom, and fun from it. Lyrics are great sources of quotable material. My life wouldn’t be the same without the melody, the moments, and the messages of tunes of all genres. I can say the world would be terrible if the music of life stopped. May the music keep on playing.
Serving To Lead
I see myself as a servant who hopefully leads others to serve. Sometimes servanthood is not seen as important. I like the concept of servant-leadership and we need more of it.
