The goodness about writing is the work and struggle to write something from your heart and head. Be original, not artificial. Whether you write with a pen or a keyboard, do the work and have fun.

Thought Of The Day 10242025
Patriotism is NOT about the biggest flags and waving them in a parade. It’s about being sure your friends and neighbors are taken care of. It’s about not doing harm to those who already are on the fringes of life. Furthermore, it’s about respecting people for who they are and who they want to be.
Being a patriot means being friends with countries around the world and respecting their sovereignty. It means elevating all citizens to a place where they feel secure, safe, and truly free. Life, liberty, happiness are universal concepts that are at the heart of what patriotism should aspire to be, anything less is just putting on a performance.
Rest In Power Robert Redford – All The President’s Men, A Masterpiece
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.
Getting Older And Getting A Discount
I appreciate a discount like anyone. Money is tight for everyone. However, being reminded you are getting older and because of that you get a discount on phone service can be a reality that isn’t fun to face.
We got this in the mail from T-Mobile, and they want us to come back as customers. They highlighted the fact that I am eligible for some age-related discounts now. That depresses me a little.
Next Friday, I am turning 56, and I am a member of Generation-X. However, I have the sense of humor of a 15-year-old, the attitude of someone a little younger, but my body feels like someone in their mid 50s. It’s good to have a youthful spirit about you.
Our current phone provider serves us well. We won’t be making a change. However, I guess getting these discounts can be beneficial, just don’t want to be reminded I am getting older for reasons.
Rewatching Battlestar Galactica (2004 Series)
Tonight, we have begun a re-watch of Battlestar Galactica from 2024 that was produced by Ronald D. Moore. This update of the late-1970s program takes a decidedly darker tone as what’s left of humankind struggles for survival against the robot Cylons, who have killed millions. The Galactica, led by William Adama, protects a patched-together fleet of civilians – led by de facto president Laura Roslin – in search of a mythical planet called Earth.
I grew up a fan of the 1978 edition, but this updated version is my favorite. It’s full of complex issues, like family, politics, survival, espionage, sociology, religion, mysticism, and more. This show has a great cast including Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackoff, Jamie Bamber, and Tricia Helfer.
