A Wandering Traveler: October 2008
http://awanderingtraveler.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Gentle Musings and Wild Rantings. Monday, October 13, 2008. What was I thinking? I always appreciate the comments that others leave in response to my blog. And sometimes its important to pass them on. These two arrived today and I thought posting them would be helpful and instructive. They come from 2 different parts of our great land, the first from Richard in the swamps of Georgia and the second from Margot in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for your sage comments. If this film does anything I hope that ...

A Wandering Traveler: March 2009
http://awanderingtraveler.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Gentle Musings and Wild Rantings. Sunday, March 22, 2009. My Take on Facebook. I remind you of this because of my next post. I learned much about Daniel because of an update in Facebook. So my latest installment of pontification will be on that very subject. Should the phenomenon of Facebook be happening at all? I just have to be on Facebook! ALL my friends are? Can I get an account? Or so my recollection goes. "What is Facebook and who really cares? Yes, children can be as persistent as that nagging hea...

A Wandering Traveler: What's That In The Air?
http://awanderingtraveler.blogspot.com/2010/10/whats-that-in-air.html
Gentle Musings and Wild Rantings. Friday, October 1, 2010. What's That In The Air? Picture taken by my friend Larry Nielsen. ). Stepping outside morning as I was taking my daughter to an early morning babysitting job, I felt my senses assaulted. But not in the usual way. The usual way is a visceral blow to the entire body, a frontal attack of surrounding, sweating proportions. Humidity and heat are not my friend! The sudden sauna effect of Florida airspace. I am wilting again just at the memory! As the s...

A Wandering Traveler: DeHungerize!
http://awanderingtraveler.blogspot.com/2010/02/dehungerize.html
Gentle Musings and Wild Rantings. Thursday, February 11, 2010. 8220;They caught my eyes.the trees bedecked in white blossoms. They were lovely, lacey like a cotillion frock.”. 8220;I love that the trees cling to their frocks of cranberry, plum, fire, and tangerine days and weeks and months on end.”. I wonder why that is? I feel like the guy sitting on the couch in the Snickers commercial wondering where all his hunger goes after he takes a bite of a Snickers bar. (It ends up somewhere in Germany.). 8221;...

A Wandering Traveler: Consuming Beauty
http://awanderingtraveler.blogspot.com/2009/08/consuming-beauty.html
Gentle Musings and Wild Rantings. Tuesday, August 4, 2009. One line of the song said this:. You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby. I know you can. I've seen you do it.". No matter how many times I listen to this song, that phrase always strikes me and always sets me to thinking down the same well-traveled path. Am I like that? Do I come waltzing into a room and, like a black hole in space, suck all the life and beauty from it? Does the chatter quiet down, gazes avert and subjects change? Somet...

A Wandering Traveler: March 2010
http://awanderingtraveler.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Gentle Musings and Wild Rantings. Wednesday, March 17, 2010. The Music of Memories. In a recent blog posting by a fellow traveler, she put forth thoughts of what she “liked”. I liked the following bit very much. It’s a bit funny to me, ‘cause I was just thinking about that very thing a few days earlier, although in prose not quite as elegant. It remains one of the most powerful forces on this earth. It does the following:. I, being a lover of most things music (Rap and country excluded), have such a libr...

A Wandering Traveler: December 2008
http://awanderingtraveler.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Gentle Musings and Wild Rantings. Tuesday, December 9, 2008. The Black Prince of Crecy. During this past summer, my family and I spent a few days in Savannah, Georgia. We love Savannah! With the tall oaks dripping with Spanish moss, square after square of restored mansions and homes, a sense of history and timelessness. While there, one of the many things we did was go to the Telfair. Museum of Art. It is a wonderful art museum composed of three diverse sites - the original building, the Telfair. I was c...

A Wandering Traveler: June 2009
http://awanderingtraveler.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Gentle Musings and Wild Rantings. Friday, June 26, 2009. Time and tide wait for no man and I, being a man, have missed numerous opportunities to put my thoughts into blog form. But not today. My ship is already under way. 8220;He (Tim) really depends on her….He is inexplicable apart from her. She has her fingerprints all over his brain, and I mean that in a good way.”. Once again, I felt myself stopped in my tracks and, re-reading that phrase, “She has her fingerprints all over his brain”. But my wife ha...

A Wandering Traveler: It lived up to the hype!
http://awanderingtraveler.blogspot.com/2010/10/it-lived-up-to-hype.html
Gentle Musings and Wild Rantings. Tuesday, October 26, 2010. It lived up to the hype! Understandably happy to be specific. When I'm snorkeled and finned. In the blue Pacific. I admire the damsel fish. As I float on the face. Of the blue Pacific.". Lyrics by from the song Blue Pacific by Michael Franks. Http:/ www.metrolyrics.com/blue-pacific-video-michael-franks.html. It turned out to be a benign tumor.) But maybe the doctor was onto something. Maybe he was not as crazy as we thought at the time. So I wa...
