It's a great song! You just need the right person to hear it.

Her peonies bloom
in the corner of the yard,
but she is not here.

Me too.. :-D

Like boardwalk fries!

Truth! And I almost headed out to go get some after posting my picture. :-)

The rainbow beckoned,
but a voice down deep inside
said this is the place.

Reading 12 Months - by Jim Butcher I just finished reading 12 Months, Book 18 in The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.

I just dropped everything to read the new Dresden Files book, 12 Months. Worth it! 🙂

Reading Cold Warriors - by Roy R. Manstan In Cold Warriors, Navy diver Roy R. Manstan recalls some of the interesting projects he and other cold warriors worked on during his time in the Engineering and Diving Support Unit at the Naval Unders...

If you or someone you know wants to learn about the Navy's ASW history or just wants to read about the adventures of some Navy divers, this is a good book to read.

Here's what I picture the first zoom call to look like in President Trump's new "Board of Peace."

First topic of discussion: "Did he say "Board of Peace" or "I'm bored of peace??!!"

I'm not sure if it deserves to be up there with someone as wonderful as Sade, but my song, "Morning," is my most popular song right now. Thank you @listigeplaylists.bsky.social for the opportunity to post it!

Reflections from a Quiet Place now an audiobook... and an album! Some of you know that I just published a book of poems and pictures on Amazon called Reflections from a Quiet Place.

This might be more of a "what not to do" outline than "what to do", but I now have an audiobook of my Reflections from a Quiet Place book on Spotify!

(and a music album! 🙂 )

Reading Turtle - by Roy R. Manstan and Frederic J. Frese In 1776, Saybrook, Connecticut resident David Bushnell created The Turtle; the first one-man submarine designed to destroy a British warship that was blockading New York Harbor. The mission failed.

If you or someone you know likes Navy, historical, or engineering stories, this is all three and it's fun!

When did protecting the US from drug trafficking suddenly become all about stealing another country's oil reserves?
