Whoof.  Some major historical events were made between 1900-1945.  I did lots of research, reading, comprehending, and writing.  I learned a lot, and I hope some of you do too. *************** Originally, the G.I. Generation was 1900-1944  (G.I. stands for Government Issue.)  After Tom Brokaw published “The Greatest Generation” in 2001, the generations dates changed as defined […]

Oh, gosh. This will be a really painful topic for me.  I was divorced in May 2018.  My story is one you may have seen in movies or read in books: lying, cheating, gambling, fraud. I can only repeat what Fox Mulder said, “Trust no one.”  My -ex really liked The X-Files, so I threw […]

I met a guy in an Irish pub the other day . . .  My friend and I were in New York City staying at The Fitzpatrick Hotel (an authentic Irish hotel.) The hotel had an Irish pub attached, and the bartender was Irish. Most of the patrons were from Ireland, Britain, and England. We […]

Before we went to New York City, Angie and I had heard rumors that people there were unfriendly, and that the streets and sidewalks were crowded. I was delighted to find the rumors unfounded. Traffic in Austin is much worse. And the crowded sidewalks I’d seen on TV were much smaller than I had anticipated. As […]
