Yes, I know….anyone that has survived the 70’s and 80’s is familiar with Rocky Balboa and his adventures.

The world-wide pandemic of COVID-19 has brought to the front of the line a great many problems that we humans have been tending to ignore. Things such as income inequality. Suicide rates. Domestic violence. Food insecurity. Depending on where you glean your information from, be it main-stream media, alternative media, […]
How one REACTS to any given situation, in my experience, will generally determine the outcome. This world-wide lock-down has clearly shown that there is a great deal of learning that humans need to do. The “public” has reacted to the COVID crisis in a variety of ways. Whether you choose […]

Well, we did it – Amelia and I ventured out in -35 and set up shop at the Moonlight Madness Market last night in Melville (40 minutes north of us – for those not sure where Melville is). Coffee cup and thermos in tow, we set up shop and waited…and […]
