I love Classic Rock and The Blues, old houses and antique stained glass.  I like walks in the woods, nature photography, and looking at the stars.

9/11/2001

The attack on the people of the United States on 9/11 will always be in our minds as something unbelievable and unforgivable. It still seems unreal and we as Americans have a hard time realizing that someone could hate and want to destroy us in such a brutal and caustic manner.

We must acknowledge our role in the political realm of the world, realize how we appear to people of other nations, and make sure our government is sensitive to the ideas and beliefs of other peoples. We don't have to agree or try to appease everyone else, but we do need to at least listen to what they have to say and try to understand their position.

Everything the USA does will always be under scrutiny. We must live the life we expect others to live. We need to be true to the beliefs we hold and be sure our government upholds those beliefs. We must set the example and raise the bar for other nations. Honesty, truthfulness, and compassion will rule the day.
