No, I don’t know why there’s an umbrella in a neat bourbon.

Sun’s Up Guns Up

Just for fun from Michael Fry and his Over the Hedge comic strip blog.

My father, Everett A. Smith, was a member of Headquarters Company/187th/11th Airborne Division, from 1942 until 1946.  From the very start of the …

The 187th ‘Rakkasans’ – part (1)

Another shout out to Greg Cox and His Pacific Paratrooper Blog. He is really worth following if you are both a fan of airborne forces and little known aspects of the Pacific war and what followed.

The 76th Anniversary of Operation Valkyrie: A Meditation from Henning Von Tresckow

Another of my posts from earlier in the week. Still important.

Friends of Padre Steve’s World It is interesting to think about life, what has transpired, and what might have been if only… Over the past year I …

The Loose Threads Will Remain, if We Try to remove them Our Life Tapestry Wouldn’t Be the Same

Just reposting something I did a couple of days ago, I think that it is worth the read for anyone dealing with life and wondering about the “what if’s” and “the roads not taken.”

In the two years I’ve been doing these music posts, I’ve only played three by Simon & Garfunkel, so it’s about time for another, don’t you think? …

♫ The Boxer ♫

Friends of Padre Steve’s World. Another of Jill Dennison’s music blogs about the Simon and Garfunkel song The Boxer.

By Robert A. Vella Despite all his bluster, things aren’t going very well for President Donald Trump.  Like General George Armstrong Custer in the …

President Trump cancels Republican convention amid bad polls and growing defiance

Friends of Padre Steve’s World, Once again, on this shout out Saturday I am giving a shout out to Robert Vella. Robert and his blog, The Secular Jurist are worth following because he reports facts and provides back up sources that are very helpful in understanding and digging deeper into his reporting. I probably won’t get any of my own articles out today as I work to finish “Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory. Robert is worth following regardless of your political beliefs because he presents facts as facts.

Every song that popped into my head tonight, I’ve already played, some as recently as last week, though I had already forgotten (senility???).  So, I…

♫ Glory Of Love ♫

Friends of Padre Steve’s World, another shout out to one of my favorite bloggers, Jill Denison, this one dealing with the song the Glory of Love by Peter Cetera. She is worth following.

What are the People Around Trump Thinking?

Friends of Padre Steve’s World, This is a blog that was re-blogged by one of the bloggers that I follow that I am posting as I don’t think I will get any of my original articles out since I am working to complete “Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory” by the end of the weekend if not by tonight. I think I will be following the author of the piece as well. I think what is brought up in this article is important. My dad died of Alzheimer’s disease in 2010 and I have known others who have suffered from dementia of some form. While I may oppose Trump, I do actually care about him as a human being. Dementia of any kind is nothing to ignore.

Sure, at first glance, you wouldn’t think that a TV show about a doctors, nurses, and a crazy janitor at teaching hospital would have anything to do …

How “Scrubs” Characters are Basically Your Military Unit

Friends of Padre Steve’s World, since I don’t know if I will do any of my own posts today as I endeavor to complete “Mine Eyes have seen the glory, the first of a number of shout outs for other really good bloggers. This from The Angry Staff Officer is pretty witty, and having served in the military for 39 years and worked in hospitals for about 8 of those years I can see the validity of the comparisons. He’s a great blogger to follow.
