A beginner's guide to understanding the ups and downs of life from a guy still trying to figure out the questions! Thursday, November 13, 2014. Two weeks at sea: Booze, babes and a spiritual epiphany. After a rough few days, the sea grew inexplicably calm. I was lost in a world created. I did mention there was booze, right? Okay, truth to tell, most of the ship's passengers - including the babes - were born when Truman was in the White House, Frank Sinatra was atop all the musical charts, the Dodgers wer...

A beginner's guide to understanding the ups and downs of life from a guy still trying to figure out the questions! Friday, September 12, 2014. Code Black: Scary look into our broken healthcare system. The always lovely Miss Wendy. And I stumbled onto an interesting film recently in our little corner of the world that was entertaining in a scary and informative sort of way. Given all the guts and gore splashed across the screen, it would seem likely that the dramatic tension of the film would have to do w...

A beginner's guide to understanding the ups and downs of life from a guy still trying to figure out the questions! Tuesday, January 20, 2015. New York, New York, it's a helluva town . So yet again the lovely Miss Wendy. And so it was that Wendy and I found ourselves high up in the balcony of the Lyric Theatre on 42nd Street, waiting out the final minutes before the curtain went up for "On the Town," a glorious revival of the happening musical that first hit Broadway during the waning days of World War II.

This&That: Love, loss and hope
http://norgrebnief.blogspot.com/2015/03/at-movies-love-loss-and-hope.html
A beginner's guide to understanding the ups and downs of life from a guy still trying to figure out the questions! Monday, March 9, 2015. Love, loss and hope. On a recent gray and dreary day. The lovely Miss Wendy and I thought it a perfect time to visit our neighborhood multiplex cinema. We ended up seeing a horror flick that still has me rattled. Of course all these Hollywood creatures and creations were ephemeral, mostly filled with special effects and comic bogeymen hiding about in the dark. Julianne...

A beginner's guide to understanding the ups and downs of life from a guy still trying to figure out the questions! Thursday, August 14, 2014. Singing Hatikvah and finding hope in Israel. I came across this column recently, first posted here in 2012, and thought it worth sharing once again. IDF soldiers during special ceremony in Jerusalem. On this particular morning in early May, I joined with a group of volunteers from around the world – Australia and New. Each morning after rolling out of our bunks in ...

A beginner's guide to understanding the ups and downs of life from a guy still trying to figure out the questions! Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Working, playing and a peek-a-boo surprise. Kodak moment: Bailey Boo and Pops make two. It was one of those special moments. The instant when Bailey first took hold of my hand and tottered about like a drunken sailor. She has yet to fully find her sea legs, but is gamely attempting to push her way into the future. The road is clear. The future beckons. So if you...

A beginner's guide to understanding the ups and downs of life from a guy still trying to figure out the questions! Monday, December 23, 2013. Caring for Bailey and warming my heart. Bailey fed, dry and happy and spending. The day with Pops. Can you say ahhh! I finished up my first week. Of Bailey sitting recently and, somewhat miraculously, both my granddaughter and I are still around and fond of one another. It’s been an adventure! At its heart, the job can be summed up in one. I learned all these speci...

Another Rant From Ron. August 25, 2016. Ron sez so much better than I some of the stuff that I have been thinking lately. Want proof of that devolution? Just think for a moment about two things:. First, if Hillary is so far ahead in the race that her winning is a foregone conclusion, why are the alphabet-network mainstream media still running anti-Trump propaganda interference for her? Entrenched party politicians don’t LIKE it when somebody tells the truth on ‘em, so his campaign didn’t succeed, and sin...
