Today is the Autumnal Equinox or the beginning of Fall. This is traditionally my favorite season because the weather is cooler and the leaves change colors where I live. These days the temperatures aren’t as cool as they once were. Still, I like this time of year for its vibes. Have a cozy Fall season good people.
Hey everyone it’s Friday. Let’s have the best day possible. The weekend is close and I am glad about that. Have a great day good people!
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.
Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

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!
