My writings, old and new...

I've been an avid reader since I was 10 and my parents subscribed me to ''Boy's Life''. We lived in a small town without TV for 3 years; my family read as many books as we could! (My wife still occasionally mentions TV shows I've never seen; I think the books I read did me more good!) I'm going to put my opinions of books I've read and especially those I could not finish.

odd ball with alien thinking

I know a person who seems to have intelligent conversations with a number of other people. Thee are conversations in which thiose talking ior listening are comfortable.

I try to initiate what I think is an intelligent conversation and he acts like I am talking in tonguyes. I like to think I speak intelligently and intelligable but sometimes I wonder. (My niece tells me I can make myself understood most of the time...) 

May it take a willing efforyt to comprehend what I am sayng and those who are qite used to me can do so. It is a depressing thought and further acts to iso9late me if I worry about being understood rather than simply assumming I am speaking intelligently and have an  udince willing to work with me?

Still, this fellow is not one of them...

Interesting quote from "The Templar Legacy: A Novel (Cotton Malone Book 1)"

Hi – I'm reading "The Templar Legacy: A Novel (Cotton Malone Book 1)" by Steve Berry and wanted to share this quote with you.

"One in particular, attributed to Pope Leo X (1513–1521) caught my attention. Leo was a Medici, a powerful man backed by powerful allies, heading a Church that, at the time, ruled supreme.

His statement is short, simple, and strange for the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Indeed, it was the spark that generated this novel.

It has served us well, this myth of Christ."

7. I am editing the 2015 novel and remembered wanting a small section in which Emma, the Master's Wife and Temple Master are talking. They remind him They are of higher rank. He knows and is not amuaed. He glared at both women who returned his attention with spinx like stares. Finally, he snorted a laugh and said "I know both of you are of higher rank than me." He looked at his wife. "I arranged your promotion parties.". She nodded. He looked at Emma. "One of the sacred books Temple Masters maintain is the 'Book Of Masters'. You, my dear Emma, have been listed as a 'Visiting Master' for more than 300 years! Thus, you are clearly a Great Master.

Neither spoke.

" What is your purpose in telling me this? Are you planning on relieving me of duty? "

" No, " Emma replied.

"Are you planning to change my teaching methods? "

" No! " Emma shuddered as she spoke.

"Good! Perhaps I had better visit my children. " He stood, bowed to both women and made a sweeping hand gesture with both arms and then strolled to where his students were undergoing instruction. He spoke to some about moves they had not realized he had seen, ducked to avoid a clumsey blow one young student has intended for his teacher but had lost control of, paused several drills to correct technique and flowed slowly through one Kara pausing when needful to emphasize pausing points.

The previous Temple Master laughed with delight and thought "now he truly knows what he thought he knew years ago.

Emma said softly to D--- "Do you think you could teach as he does?

"No, I do not. How does he know when to duck and when to block blows when he can not see the blows?

I don't know", D--- replied.

" The Old Ones, such as Grandfather and my Great Aunt could. "

" Who were they? "

" They lived a long time ago and helped raise me. Someday, I will share a glass of 'Triple Medicine' with you and explain. "


That night, D--- asked her husband "have you heard of something called 'Triple Medicine'?

" Yes, " he replied, "some of the sailors visiting from the remote west told me they had real an article about 'Triple Meducine' in a magazine published nearly almost 370 years ago. It was written by an Old Orc for quote his stinky ones unquote. The magazine was published for about 80 years in what was called 'City Four'. The Publisher was a slender Half Orc named Crystal. You may have heard the name?

Yes, but when?

There is a Half Orc, a lawyer, Who is an Archivist in the House of Assassins" secure storage vaults. I know Emma has said one of her Older brothers was a slender Half Orc named 'Crystal'. I have seen Emma hug this 'Crystal' and call him 'Big Brother'. He moves like a very old Orc. "

" How did they sign themselves? " She spoke with sudden intensity.

"The House Mouse said both the 'Old Orc' and 'Crystal' were written in the Assassin Kant of the time. Did you know the nickname of our ancestors was 'the Stinky Ones'? "

" It still is.

"Just how far west did Dent and his people get? ""

That question kept both awake into the late evening

"She did find that the books displayed prominently in every chamber had been dusted, but the spines were pristine and uncreased. They had the sad, untouched air of literature paraded for display purposes but never actually used.

It was profoundly depressing."

revealing picture

Donald Trump is claiming he was "acquitted" but at least he is not saying he was "exonerated" or found "not guilty". He was guilty.

The picture says it all!

exercise in futility---my letter to Senator Moran

I will be mailing a snail mail version of this letter tomorrow morning. I still think a printed and signed "snail mail" letter carries more weight...

Senator J. Moran

521 Dirksen Senate Office Building

Washington DC 20510

5 February 2020

Dear Senator Moran,

A trial without witnesses or introduced evidence and a "jury foreman" who brags of working with the defendant’s lawyer is not a trial; it is a sham.

Donald John Trump will undoubtedly claim he "was acquitted" but the truth is, he was not. He was given a pass. His followers will call this an acquittal. To be blunt, the outcome of this “trial” was preordained.  I remind you that Donald John Trump lost the popular vote by more than 3,000,000 votes. There are, without doubt, many millions who will vote angry come November.

I can understand why you voted to "acquit". The news - which is not "false news" - is reporting the Senator Romney is being punished for voting in favour of witnesses. Apparently,   the Republican Senators had been warned ahead of time that there would be negative consequences to voting in favour of witnesses or introduced evidence.

You are a lawyer Senator Moran. Is this "jury tampering"?

Sincerely,


Sending this letter will be an an act of futility given the number of emails, tweets and letters this Senator receives. Still, I feel better in making this attempt to "reach out"...

upcoming letter [late entry]

Several days ago, I wrote Senator Jerry Moran a letter telling him I was disappointed in him. Sending it will be an act of futility but I will...
