Rest In Power Robert Redford – All The President’s Men, A Masterpiece

2 Comments

Legendary actor, director and humanitarian Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025. Tonight we are watching “All The President’s Men” in honor of his life and legacy. This movie is about Bob Woodward played by Redford and Carl Bernstein that is played by Dustin Hoffman, who investigated the Watergate story in the 1970’s that would result in bring down Richard Nixon’s presidency. It’s a masterpiece that starts intense and finishes strong. It’s a terrific film with all sorts of intrigue and tells the story of hungry journalists getting to the bottom of a serious story.

This movie is about Bob Woodward played by Redford and Carl Bernstein that is played by Dustin Hoffman, who investigated the Watergate break-in story in the 1970s that would result in bring down Richard Nixon’s presidency. It’s a masterpiece that starts intense and finishes strong.

I highly recommend everyone see this movie because there are parallels to today’s political scene.

Life These Days Is Like A Fire Hydrant

4 Comments

I have to say, there is so much going on in the world that it feels like we are drinking from a fully open fire hydrant. The world has gone crazy, and it’s one thing after another. I am overwhelmed by it all, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. That fire hydrant is coming at us quick, and it feels like we are drowning.

Every day the news of the country and the world seems to be getting worse. Joy seems to be in short supply.

I don’t want to be tested in life like this. I feel bad for the people who are worse off than me, and it’s like two fire hydrants for them. Every day feels like a week, and every week feels like a month. Something has to change, and I don’t know when it will. Grace and peace to us all.

Leave a comment

Tonight is the 2025 Emmy Awards from Los Angeles, California. It’s Television’s biggest night. I am watching for the star power and celebrity factor. We need a distraction from the reality of the moment. I am puling for the broadcast television nominees.

Comedian Nate Bargatze is the host, and I am looking forward to seeing his monologue and how he will bring his brand of comedy to this annual event.

I Am Taking A Serious Facebook Break

2 Comments

I have taken many Facebook breaks over the years. But this week I felt like I needed one because of all the political stuff happening. The murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk seems to have struck a nerve with lots of people, including me. Am I sad he died, no. Murder is never the problem.

But to venerate this man for his horrible politics and the things he says about people leaves me puzzled, curious and sad. I have seen happening on Facebook and yes some on Threads and Bluesky.

So many people I know personally not only digitally are reacting to this in a way that is not good for me mentally, is why I needed the break. Before something is said that fractures my long-standing relationships, I just left for good reasons.

So for the time being, I have decided to focus my connections elsewhere. There are lots of good people here on WordPress I would like to connect with more, as well as on my other socials. The most important people online, I know I can reach out to in other ways.

Let’s make this Facebook sabbatical fun and productive. Facebook, I will see you later.

Today we remember the events of the day of September 11, 2001. Terror was brought to New York City, Washington DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It was a day that will live in the memory of people around the world forever. It was a day when people were lost, but a day when people were heroes too. Let’s be mindful of what happened and hope it will never happen again.
