Remincing is fine!


Hello Friday, has arrived and I have no idea what the weather shall be like outside. My fridays, are slow and steady like most of my days. I may read, or write at home, and then go bowling in the Senior League I am in, When done bowling I usually return home alone and just hang out watching tv, or building a puzzle or reading. I know it is a dormant, slow world I live in. I don’t drink or really go to Taverns or Bars which seems to be the big draw for those in the town I live in. Sadly, it seems, the town I choose to live in, is a slow town with very little to really do in it.

While I have been sent pamphlets and emails on Volunteer Activities to get involved in, there really isn’t much other than the Senior Center for those my age here. we don’t have our own bowling ally, we don’t have a roller skating rink. I have my little hobbies I do alone of course, like walking when the weather is good, reading a decent book when I can, writting poetry and short stories and my blogs. As many who know me even in passing will tell you, I am not the life of a party type of man, nor, am I a ladies man, who flirts with every woman he sees. I am 69 years old and headed to 70 if i make it, next January of 2026. I am not dead, or that infirmed that I can’t get around, so I do what I beleive, I can is all.

I remember clearly when I moved here, I had told my sister and at the time i was 65, she would find me dead in this condo I bought, right here. I know that is probally the truth folks, I live day by day alone, and mind my own each day that I do. I clean my own home, I save my money for things I may need or use and I try hard not to get involved in any other person’s business. What someone else does with their life, is not my business, what is, is how I conduct myself, is all.

I have done many things in my life, as a teenager I would help friends move or fix their cars, or whatever they needed. As a Young man I was busy in the military lifestyle, I served in three branches. I started in the U.S. Army, which I hated. Who wants to be a ground pounder, who is made to retrive tanks, so I got out. I did the National Guard as a Machine Gunner Scout, and then, I went back into the military and joined the U.S. Navy next. In Total my life service to my country came out to 16 years. Most of it sepnt in The U.S. Navy as a Boiler Technichan. When, I got injured, onboard ship, and was finally forced out of service due to my injury, I had a wife and two kids. That marriage went to hell, and life went on, after a divorce.

My life has always been slightly different than most, I am not a coventional person in many ways. So, I went back home and started over. I ended up, dazed and confused and lost in a changed society in America. I struggled and turned to The Veteran’s Administration for help. I got my benefits for medical, dental and prescriptions and then still foundering, I agreed to go back to school. The Veteran’s Administration sent me to college, I was a High School Dropout at one time, one who went back and got a GED to get into the service. Amazingly, I made a decision to commit myself to college and did well. I graduated after three years of night school, with a 3.7 out of 4.0 average. I got my Associates Degree in Hosoitality Management, the Hotel side. I recieved Awards two while in college and then I was inducted into the Aplha Beta Gamma and Phi Thetta Kapps Honor Societies. I was proud and hired to run a hotel. Boredom got to me, and so did my injuries and i was unable to keep working. I retired and got 100 percent Unemployabilty from the Veteran’s Administration and my Doctors. Being disabled due to my back injuries, my PTSD and more is not fun, but, I survive on pure guts and determination is all. I was lucky to have had my second wife, who I loved dearly for 28 years. She and I created a life together and cared for one another in all ways. we helped others by providing rooms for rent in our homes for a price. we saved, we struggled and we grew to enjoy life more as we did.

28 years after I met my second wife, she passed from Breast Cancer in 2021. In the middle of her sixteen year fight with cancer I myself got cancer of the lungs. I took my wife to every appointment she had, from Doctors, to Chemo, to radiation, to Immunio Therapy in the End. I survived a 16 hour surgery to take out a lobe and a third of my right lung and no more cancer for me. But, I could not, save my second wife, like I wanted to. Losing her devasted who I was and am today. I am not the joyful, funny guy she met, who would dance away the days or nights I could with her. Nor am I, the same man who would cook all the holiday meals and for both of us each day. But, the memories of all 28 years stay in my mind always. It is the special moments that count folks, those moments when you are alone with who you love, and cuddled or hugging, or sleeping, and knowing, you have that one person you will love forever with you. when you suddenly lose them, to a desease like cancer or anyother desease you will struggle, you will miss them dearly and you will grieve in many ways. I know I did and I know also, that at some point in time whether it is one year, two or three or even four, you realize, your still here and they are not coming back. Thats when you slowly start to feel the loneliness seep in, the individualism comes back. and you finally, go at some point, I need to get involved in something else at some point, or I have to learn to live alone, period. So, you live each day, one day at a time, and carry-on the best you can. It’s slow process folks but we all, go through it, if, and when we lose the one we love. Grief isn’t easy, too many things come up that remind you of the one you lost, and you must live with it all and push through. The alternative is not a choice you will want to make.

Anyway, I reminance and I think back many times these days and for one heading to 70 years old, there is nothing wrong with doing so. The memories help us carry-on and search for more to experience and go through. For in the end we are here on this planet for a reason we do not understand. I have a belief, that each of us, were put here on earth, for a reason or mission we need to complete. when we finally complete that mission, whatever it is, we return from whence we came. Is there a Heaven or a Hell? I do not know for sure and neither do you, but, I do know that, where ever we return to, must bring peace for our hearts, and our souls. For living on this plane of existance we currently do, at times, i think it may be that in between place they call Purgatory for me and for you. Religion is not the solution although it may calm your fears. Drinking and drugs are not the solution either. Murder, Mayhem, or wars don’t help either. In the end you find yourself, left alone and making decisions on your own, and awaiting what may come. believe it or not, in the end that is how life is done. I love life, I love people, I love converstaions and laughter, I love the ability to cry too. But, most of all, when I stop to think, I love the facts of life, and the air we breathe, and feel lucky to be here.

My current thoughts on certain subjects! Opinions !


I have come to certain conclusions, that in my opinion, need to be said by me. Now, I am not here to personally force anything I write or say on anyone else. For firsta nd foremost we all have our right of freedom of speech, this is America. secondly, not everyone thinks the same, or comes to the same conclusions on any subject out there. So when I say, something in a blog, I write, it is my opinion, not my demand or my order to anyone, period. I don’t want someone going, he’s tellingus what to do or not do, for that isn’t what I do. What, I do is discuss how I feel about a subject and write it out.

That said, Lets talk about some conclusions i have reached for myself in todays’ america and under our current living conditions in our country. #1) we are still the greatest country in the world period, due to democracy, our form of governement set forth by the Founding Fathers, we had. #2) We are still a country of laws, guided by our Constitution and it’s Admendments and our Bill of Rights. #3) We will continue to have elections every four years and no President can serve more then 8 total, it isa law in America folks. #4) America does not have KINGS, We never have and never will! We broke from England and foughta Revolutionary War to escape it, and we shall not go backwards.

That said, let me say this next. I swerved my Country in Three Branches of Service, I did the U.S. Army, U.S. Army National Guard and The United States Navy, totaling 16 years of service. I did so with pride, with Honor and Integerity, I did so to protect and defend our way of life, and my family. I am Proud of it, I do not run from it.

Next the societal differences currently happening in America are bad for it in so many ways. We ared ividing the nation in so many wyas now it is sad and it may rock the foundation of the country to it’s core and it must stop. we can ill afford, a battle of the sexes, or a racist war, or even a full out political war, like what is happening now in America. we can ill afford to ignore our Veterans who served, our medical care, our societal norms we have achieved an dlived on for hundreds of years. What happened to morals. ethics, manners and caring? What happened to one for all and all for one? tell me America, where did it go and when did we really lose it so bad, that we can not even agree to disagree and still make things work? What happened America, you Tell Me! Why can’t we get along, and stop the infighting and save our country together, before it explodes apart?

Many subjects are concerns now, societal infighting is just one of them, For instance, race tensions, politicla tensions, anger, all are major problems. Affording to live, lack of jobs, high prices on food, gas and homes. Education being shut down, medicare, medicaid and social security and Veterans Benefits suddenly under attac. Why folks, why? Why, do Americans now act so lackadasial, and so uncaring, that we do not stop this from happening anymore?

Why did Americans reelect a President who was Impeached Twice, convicted of 34 felonies,now being questioned about whether he is a pedophile or not, beause of his relationship with one? Why is this ok to have been done in America? While on this topic, answer me this question, If our current President is not a Pedophile and he has nothing to hide, why isn’t he releasing the Epstein Files in their entirety? I know, if i was accussed of being part of a Pedophile Ring that, abused and used children, and i was innocent, I would work overtime to prove my innocence, wouldn’t you?

Next, subject, America is suffering from infighting between the political parties, and in the end it is the American People who are suffering and it will not get better until the Government is back in full Session and working as one unit again to keep us safe, secure and economically intact. Stock Markets decline, jobs disappear, Tariffs rise and we pay for it all. Doesn’t anyone understand, every tariff being put up against another ocuntry, costs Americans and we pay for them? It’sa sad state of affairs right now in the world and our country.

The homeless population is growing, people are being taken off the streets and shipped overseas and deported without due process in a court of law! It’s wrong, it’s immoral, it’s unethical and corrupt. Look I believe like many, illegal alliens in our country is bad, but, to do it by the book is better. Safer, smarter and in the end, more complete. Every human being, deserves the right to due process, in America, let these people defend their rights to be here, in court. If they lose fine, deport them, If they win in court give them citizenship and lets get it done. we seperate familes, divide them up, but, no one did this over the generations of when America was growing by bounds from immigration did they. The Italians got to stay, the Japanesse, The Irish, the Mexicans, the Jewish and more. This country is built on generations of immigrants folks, lets not kill what we are built upon. Each flock of immigrants brought something to America, things they knew, did or comtributed, we do not need to kill that. I remind all, Trump’s family came from Germany, his Wife is an immigrant herself. yet, they are President and First Lady. Stop and think about it all.

Ok next subject, the so called dating war, or dating problem in American Society an dthe country as a whole. It is far past time, for men and women in America to wake up. Not, every man, wants a woman just for sex, not every woman wants a man just for money. Not every man wants a woman’s belongings, or money, nor is it the same in return. In Todays world the fears of interaction and dating is scary and mean. people have worries and concerns about being used, abused, or taken for money or belongings. Many times , I have heard women complain, men don’t ask us out anymore, why is that? Well, for the same reasons, you say no and reject men is why? The same concerns go both way ladies. We don’t like being used for our physical abilities, or our knowledge of how to repair your home or car. we don’t like being taken for our money we earned either. It’s a two way street ladies and gents, and neither sex, wnats to be taken, used or abused by the other gender. Both sides have our reasons, and until we stop and think it over and decrease our own fears, our own worries some and takea chance we get no where do we? men fear rejection just as much as women do in today’s world. So, in the end it is atwo way street folks, an dthe only way to overcome the loneliness syndrome in America, wil be to take a chance and ask, and just take rejection as a normal part of the process of dating and creating relationships. If you take it personal you stop approaching, you stop asking, and you isolate yourself and any chance you have of finding a relationship period. Thuis we end up bitter, angry, alone and wondering where we went wrong. Our own fears stop us, and as one Author puts us we can’t change what others think of us, so Let Them. But in the end it is the second part of the Let Them Theory that works maybe the best, for once you Let Them think what they want, do what they want, you can then apply the Let me Theory. whicj is Let me make my own choices, Let me be me, and let me decide who and what I want to be. Once your fully you and happy about who you are as a person, and able to interact with others ina friendly positive way, you won’t get anywhere at all will you. negativity kills, any chance of being around or involve dwith anyone else. It’s dpressing to be fearful, it’s depressing to be angry, sad. Positivity is the only way to go really, isn’t it. You attratc mor epeople to you if you laugh daily, if you interact kindly, if your polite, courtious, you get better reactions in return. stick to what you do best, be you. Yet, also remembe rthe old saying, not everyone is everyone’s cup of tea so to say. So that is why they make so many different flavors in the world, so you can find a cup of tea that matches your taste. Just my current thoughts on the subjects above for now!

The Dating Dilemma: Understanding America’s Gender Divide


Society in America has changed to a point of almost no return. People get angry from discussions, they don’t interact anymore. Women are afraid of men and men of women. It’sa crazy problem few understand these days, or have a solution for.

Across the country, the dating scene or interactions between men and women, have diminished in many ways. The simple ways of meeting a person of the opposite sex for dating or a relationship of any kind has become difficult and hard to do. Dating sites have become a breeding ground for spam, phonies, pretenders and players. It seems, people wnat to tease, or post hemselves as available and then back out or run from anyone online texting or emailing or leaving them messages. men and women get ghosted, or ignored period. Thus, the lack of interaction between men and women in American Society.

There are certain issues for both sides as far as this issue goes in general. Women, believe the only rreason men want them, is for sex, or for money. They want to be independent and able to care for themselves, but, on the othe rhand they search for men, who can provide for them also, in ways such as, fixing their homes or cars, or doing work around their homes they live in. men, also do not want to be taken for money, like women, or their personal belongings also. What’s lacking is trust, honesty, caring and actually talking to one another with proper communication and listening. It’s a pretty sad state of affairs in American Society these days.

Politics divides many a sit is today also. american society has evolved into a war between the sexes, that only is escalating as it goes on and time passes. women complain when men discuss the problem and tell men it’s their own fault, while men tell the women they are not open enough, to allow approaches and availabilty for dating. It’sa serious cycle that keeps spinning and pushes both side further apart for sure.

The common ground is really, that both sides, fear approaching the other for basically many of the same reasons, unless, you include the sex issue of course. SO, what cna be done to overcome it is my question? How do people both women and men, get ove rthe doubts, the issues, the worries that are causing it, when neither will approach the other? when one goe sout even to a Coffee Shop, or a Library, or a Store or anywhereelse you can feel the tension and stress in the air. It exists and i know many wil say, ah, I am always complaining, but, it is not a complaint but the facts, in America today. Which is why our own Government has come out talking about and discussing the LOneliness Syndrome in our country. It’s like a viscious cycle that is hard to break and change.

My suggestions in the past, have been laughed at, or angerily responded to as being my own, and not right. Some say, I dod it to myself and i should complain, but, I am not really complaining, as to posing the real question, which is how do we overcome it? I don’t have the answers folks, but, I do hope and wonder, can it be overcome and things made easier for all!

Happy Sunday All From me to you!


I can honestly say, I am no spring chicken anymore at 69 years old. My body aches, my parts swell up and my mind is sharp, but at times it can be a little tart. Even if the mind stays sharp folks because you keep up on current events, or write like I do, the lack of interactions, with others can get to you. As, we age, as we all know our bodies, start to ache and hurt, arthritis sets in, joints swell and make life a little slower at each point. we move less, we talk less and we at times judge others fast too. It’s a part of human nature, just as mother nature takes over also, wearing us down.

Now you can exercise and walk and try to interact as much as you can, but, it won’t solve the aches and pains of aging, nor, will it solve the true loneliness we feel either. I say this because, we all find someone at some point in life we love and care for and want to be with. But, as we all know, it doesn’t always work out that way, or if it does, due to the fates and destiny, it ends because one passes away. That leaves the remaining person, floundering, floating and hoping, to connect once more. In today’s world though, the lack of societial norms, and interactions is killing the country and the world. Too many fears about, age, politics, beliefs, How we look, what color our skins, what religion we are into, all affect it. At some point in life, folks, you start to learn we are people of habits and what we were taught in our younger days, sticks with us in our older days.

Because of the human nature of all of this, people today, do not have the same interactions we did when we were younger. We lock ourselves into safe and old reliable patterns, and steer clear of things we know will disturb or upset us. We also, tend to avoid talking, as much as we can. As seniors will tell you and there are many of us today, some dislike people who talk too much, or are too cherry and bright. Why, because it disturbs their inner peace and their ability to concentrate as needed. So, you get comments like, tone it down, don’t laugh so much, calm down, or the classic one I hear a lot, behave yourself. Listen folks, not to disappoint or upset you, yet, I think you should take these little saying and innuendos and stick em where the sun doesn’t shine! People need to be themselves in the world, and they need to be able to openly communicate and interact, or you end up with one hell of a morbid, sad, depressing world, where people slowly die off, alone and in pain from it all.

Humanity is in trouble today and so is the world as a whole. The planets resources are being used up and wasted faster then they will ever replenish themselves. The atmosphere has been polluted beyond repair and the oceans are clogged with garbage and trash and animals are dying off. Yet, mankind stays it’s own course destroying and using up all we can. Animals don’t destroy anywhere as much as mankind does. we call it making advances, when we create something new, or we find new ways to do something, but, do we ever stop to look at what it means to the rest of the world, our climate or atmosphere or oceans and lands? Nope, we barrell ahead, and do so, not out of the need for such an advance, but, for the love of money. And in the end it will be the demise of humanity, for greed kills all folks. Never forget to share but always conserve too.

Every human being out there has their own personal needs, their own personal fears too. Many, also can lack manners and morals and ethics, for we are not all raised the same. Then we run dead into the race and color barriers mankind has created. Predijuce, discrimination, politics, hate and anger. Why folks, why? Ever hear of the old saying Live and Let Live? The biggest part of it, that is disturbing is the societal norms we once had in the world are now gone. People don’t interact the way they used to anymore. Like I said, manners disappear, anger comes out, people seperate and hide from one another, and divisons happens between races, colors, nationalities and more. The anger goes so deep it causes wars, and elminations of whole nations and peoples. Why? The world must learn to stop the hate, to listen more, communicate more, to understand more. If we don’t folks, we shall ultimately isolate more and end up hating each other, till we kill each other off. It must stop!

Men and women alone in America do not date anymore, or at least no where near the way they used to. We don’t have the social places to meet anymore. A Coffee Shop is not a good place to meet someone, not really. A Bar or Tavern is great for drinking, or trying to get lucky, yes, but it doesn’t build lasting relationships. So the question is what does, in today’s world?

The fears are more than anything, a seperator between the sexes. Women fear men will use them for sexual favors and dump them. They fear being taken for money or belongings. They want men to take care of them, provide for them. men, today are not the same men your parents knew ladies. The men today, don’t want to provide for you.

Just as you women don’t want to be locked into certain things either. Many women these days hate the idea of no jobs for them, or being locked into being housewifes or mothers and nothing else. They want to be known for more than their bodies, they want to be taken as a whole person and accepted for who they are. And they are right men, the women deserve that just as much as we men do too. In the end, the inability to openly communicate that, to listen is killing relationships and possibilities left and right. Fears, lack of manners, lack of ethics, lack of morals all contribute to what I am saying here. Expectations also are a problem folks. many expect certain things, and if they don’t get them from someone they will walk away. There is a very old saying, there are many fish in the sea, when it comes to dating, but, the truth is the sea is now under populated in areas and over populated in others, and fishing is rougher than ever. Why too many things in the way, too many self inflicted restrictions and requirements and needs, that are not being met. Wants, needs, cares, all come into play, and too many people rush and don’t stop to realize it. So , the world is now a much lonelier place for many of us. when a simple smile or causual conversation used to be easy to do, it is no longer true. We hesitate, we stop, we reverse or we shut up. Out of fear of what the response will be, no one likes rejection folks, believe me. But, people avoid, detract and walk away, from things they don’t like or can’t handle. Yet, to fight the current so to say, is not as easy as it was yesterday. Societial Norms are missing, interactions are missing, and fears, and dislikes and discrimination and predijuce are all rearing their ugky heads. I don’t like your religion, I don’t like your color, I don’t like your politics, and more comes into play each day. Instead of listening we shout over one another or at one another. You can’t get along that way folks, for you can shout till you die, but, unless you learn to listen to the other side, you will get no where! As one man said long ago and many forget today, communication is a two way street folks, if one talks, one listens and it must be mutual listening and talking in order for a real conversation and meeting of the minds to work. It definitely, takes listening, by both sides to work. No relationship ever works out, if it is all one-sided.

Wel thats just my thoughts for this Sunday morning folks! Please remember, opinions are things we all have and form. We may state them, we may write them, we may speak them, not everyone will accept them. As I once told someone long ago, I won’t force my opinions or beliefs on you, you don’t force yours on me and we shall be fine. The biggest objection in the world most people have, is being forced into something, so don’t do it to others, if you don’t want it done to you. Happy Sunday All From me to you!

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness folks. No Kings !


Today is a day that will be filled with No King Day rallies across America at different times and places. For 250 years now, almost, Americans have stayed away from Monarchies and Kings of any kind. Now in todays day and age in America one man believes he can be King and Boss of all in a very strange way. The sad thing is America escaped this kind of Ruler and system so many years ago and in the World itself overall it is dying off, yet here we face it once more. It’s sad that such a person or system is this close to the reality, America now faces, in 2025. It is October 18th, 2025 folks!

No, one man should be able to control America or it’s destiny, or fate. No one man should have the right to pluck people off the streets and deport them from our country, without due process in a court of law. No one man should be able to destroy our Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security or Veteran’s Benefits, yet here one is. We have a deranged individual who went from bad to worse once he got back in office, and we, the American People, need to find a way to stop him now. Now he is affecting too many things he has no business in, as President of The United States. He lies to the public and Americans daily and he gets away with it. Yet, Congress is not acting to remove him from office, in anyway, why? If nothing else, he should be removed under the 25th Admendment, he is not sane or competant enough to continue, he is a danger to all.

But I do understand why the 25th Admendment has not been used so far, for fear of JD Vance taking over. He is just as unreliable and unstable as the current President and he would never sign on to such an act. Why simple, because the current President plucked Vance from out of the woods so to say and made him a public figure. Without Trump, Vance is worthless and a scum bag really. So, what we have is a mess.

Now Impeachment with Trump has been tried twice already, and it failed each time. Legally, it may be the only way to go, but, to do so, we must have Republicans join Democrats in this process and it must be bi-partisan in all ways. It won’t happen, because, the Republicans love it all, and they support the mad King that Trump is in all ways. It will continue this way, until the Republicans begin to feel all he is doing, is starting to affect them. There is a very thin line currently that Trump is using if you watch and listen to him, in how he protects his Republican friends and MAGA Supporters. Everything he says or does, is aimed at liberal policies, and Democrats, he is trying to destroy the Demcratic Party and our two Party System of politics. No one man should be able to do so, no one man should be a King like figure in America, No Kings folks is what it needs to be and the protests must be peaceful, but loud and firm, or Trump will continue his actions, he runs rampede over all already and people are scared of him. If Americans do not wake up and stand up and stop him, we will become an Autocratic Society or worse. Is that what America wants, is that what you want Americans, to be ruled by one man as King? If not I suggest, you stand up and be counted, join the protest movement of No King, attend. Lets make a strong statement, lets make our voices heard, lets make the Republicans and MAGA followers listen and hear us clearly. I am not calling for violence, I am calling for a peaceful protest that is heard across America and the World, No King for America, lets make sure.

Finally, there is constant rumors and talk of a Trump third term he wants. Under the Constitution and our laws that can not be allowed. The law was put in place to protect our Country and Constitution and way of life, just to ensure we will never be ruled by a King like figure again. Remember, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness folks. Live Free or Die! No stopping the press, let them do their jobs too. Freedom of Speech is one of the primary things our country is built on and we have our rights to be heard, in speech, print, on an din the media and every where else. NO Kings!

Westborough, Ma. will come to be a better place to stay.


I attended a Meeting last Night that was very well put together and well done. It was all About programs and politics in Westborough, Ma. here. It was interesting in many ways, and many subjects were discussed. From, Community Volunteer Programs, to The new being built Community Center and it’s Swimming Pool repairs and costs, to How Town Meeting are run. Each area was well covered for sure, by those who spoke and the questions afterwards were few. The Westborough Community portion, showed how they community is trying to include all generations in it’s programs and help all they can. While I approve of it, and admire that it is there, they do not make clear, where to go to get involved for these activities, dates or times, or where to even get their handouts or information on the events they do. what locations thay are in, or dates or times. They talk about interactions, clubs, and events, but no specifics.

More Specifics were put out on The Community Center Swimming Poll and it’s costs to repair it all. Which was good because it was broken down into plain english, due to the town meeting coming up, and the fact it has to be voted on to fund it all. The Warrants were brought up and what may be voted on and how the Town Meetings are Moderated and controled. All Good Information for the public to have. The best part of this was the Speaker, who moderates the Town Meetings, he is knowledgeable, personable and kind, but firm on the operation he moderates. As it went he handled it well in all aspects in my opinon but, I am just one person who attended.

While I admire, all, trying to get people involved in our Community in Westborough, Ma. here, the specifics on who to see, where to go, and get involved is always cloudy. There needs to be more clarrity on the locations, times nad dates of the programs. Are these at The Senior Center, The Library, Town Hall or where? What dates and times? and who do you contact if interested in attending or volunteering? What if you came up with an idea to get all involved, but, needed a platform or place to launch said idea and wanted to do so, but needed help in, announcing it or getting someone to come? There were questions of course, but, as i know and i think many do, we don’t always ask, do we?

Anyway, Westborough, Ma. is trying and i agree to include all Generations and ages, I understand that now. Yet, what is lacking is communication of all of these events and programs. Westborough doesn’t have it’s own newspaper, or radio programs or even TV news about it’s town, facilities or programs. It seems they are depending on just word of mouth. If that is the case in a town with over 21,000 people, who don’t communicate well, it is going to be rough. I heard of Farmer’s Markets, haven’t seen one in three years i have lived here. Some spoke of Flea Markets where? Some talked of gaming and dances and more, where folks, when, and times and dates so people can attend?

In many ways, Westborough, Ma. reminds me of the home town I grew up in, in Connecticut. It is loaded with banks and money, it is loaded with churches, and funny, enough bars and taverns. It does notc ontain a movie theater, It does not contain it’s own Bowling Alley, or Roller Rink. They don’t hold Singles Dances or Meetings anywhere, either. They do provide a Senior Center for the Seniors, yet, it is basically boring and hidden in the corner, like an embarassment in my opinion. Life is about interactions, communications, and getting along in life. It’s not about hiding in a corner of the town, huddled like old people, waiting to die, and just occupying space and playing cards or board games.

Where can one fish, hike, walk, meet others? Where is the Arts for those who like theater, or plays, where is the place to learn new things for all of us? Some as we age would love to learn to play instruments, or draw or paint, or show hidden talents to the world we aquired over our lives. where can that be done in Westborough, Ma.?

We pay taxes, for improvements and operations in town here. And we keep the town going as businesses come and go and the economy improves or slows. I know things cost money, and time and effort, but you can’t get people to get involved, if the communication is not open, loud and clear. Nor, is it helpful that many do not talk to each other here. If your new in town, you come to learn, you can’t walk into a bar or tavern or store and just talk to just anyone. many, shut you out and do not even say hello. why, they don’t know you, yet, if you attempt to know them, they walk away and don’t talk. It is a problem in American Society these days. Look I know it is great to be cautious and careful in the world or else I would not be alive at 69 going on 70. But, learning to still interact, converse and talk to people is vital in life. somehow, we all need to loosen up just a bit, if for no other purpose, just to get along and be polite.

I lived in a small town in Connecticut as a kid. I learned that even with a bad economy at the time, we still had parks for children, we still had places to play sports. We still found ways to interact, whether it was in diners, or other places of business. I move about in Westborough, go shopping, here, which is big. people rushing to and fro through a store, yet you can feel the tension and stress of the fear of interacting with strangers you don’t know. It’s just a fact I have felt and understand. How does one overcome this folks? Well, I try to talk to people in stores, or bars or tavens if I can. I even talk to bowlers when I go bowling, with them. Common interests go a long way. some are into sports, some into nature, some into arts and more. But, as my dad said many years ago, if you don’t take a chance and say hello, you shall miss more in life, than you will ever know. Be friendly, be polite, and if someone says something you don’t like, you can always walk away, we are not gonna like everybody we meet each day. Yet, if you do not take a chance, you can’t find joy, love, romance or fun. You can’t belong if no one will let you! You can bang on a wall, but if it doesn’t break or fall, you can’t get by, unless you find a way around it can you? Communication is the key to life, it’s how we get a husband or a wife and children to repopulate our world. No interacting, no communication, makes us boring, and like automations, like in the old movie The StepFord Wives. We are humans, we have faults, differences and not all will agree, but, if you don’t interact and communicate, you will feel nothing but loneliness and hate. Open up folks, take a chance, thats all I can say. And hopefully, Westborough, Ma. will come to be a better place to stay.

Just my opinions folks and thoughts for the day.


Good day to all. It is Monday here in Massachuetts, October 13th, 2025 to be precise. I have cut where my blog goes by one place due to people there getting angry over it, it seems someone there, got upset. So, I do not push, where I send my blog to disturb people in that way. I do a blog for different reasons folks. 1) To Discuss world events 2) Politics, 3) Romance or dating events or lack there of. 4) General advice or poems, or stories I have written. I usually do not get overly involved in people’s reactions to my blogs, because, hells bells folks, they are opinions, not facts, and if you disagree that is fine, please just remember, we all have free speech and a right to our own opinions.

With that said, let me go forward today. The world is a more peaceful place this am, as Israel and the Gaza mess and war seems to be coming to an end and the hostages have begun to come home. I give credit to Trump for his participation in this one and his negotiations seem to work. It is nice to see peace achieved anywhere in the world, in this way.

Now, can President Trump solved his own countries woes and problems, without making us an autocratic or communistic country? We have an economy that is failing. People are going hungry and homeless. Jobs are disappearing, people are being laid off or cut from federal jobs, with no concern for their livelyhood and families. It’s wrong. Food prices climb, clothing prices climb, oil goes up, gas goes up, medicare and medicaid are under attack, veteran’s benefits too it seems. As time rolls on under the Trump Administration it is not getting better for Americans but worse. we now have military troops in our cities and they are not a police force nor trained to be one. There is no insurrection or revolt on our streets. there is a right to peaceful protests. There is Freedom of Speech, there is a right to critize our President and Government for shutting down on us. The shutdown must end now folks, the longer it goes on the worse it will get for each and every American citizen. Tell your Representatives, your Senators to go back to work now. Lets find a compromise and make the country run once more and get people back into their jobs now.

Home prices, jobs, food prices jump,car prices up, clothing up, gas up, oil up, utilities up, when will President Trump address our economy correctly and fix it? When will he stop sending Troops to cities? When will the deportations stop, and the violence caused by them? Yes, there was an immigration problem, but, this is not the proper way to handle things. Everyone you pick up and deport or try to deport, has a right to due process, and should not be sent to a Salvadorin Prison! Wake up here!

President Trump wants to be reconignized, he wants attention, he wants notoriity, he wants to be thanked all the time. He wants a Nobel Peace Prize and he has a big head, and no heart these days. Look, when your Presdient is more concerned about, being awarded and known for his deeds and setting a place in history for himself, and begs for awards like the Nobel Peace Prize, it’s silly, stupid and assine. You want awards and reconignition, earn it, fix the economy, fix medicare and medicaid, fix the homeless problem, take care of the ill and disabled, pay your military and you’re veterans on time. Find a way to help your farmers survive so we have food to eat. Build affordable housing! Lower prices on utilities, home costs, food,clothing, gas prices, oil prices. Lets make America better for all, not just the rich. Lets not extend the Tax breaks for the rich, lets ask them to pay their fair share for a change. Do something to fix our country President Trump, not take on the world’s problems and try to be a hero, fix America please!

Release the Epstein Files, also. If your not in them and did nothing wrong and are innocent, then release them, show us all. What is there for you to hide? Only one reason to stop them from being released your in them and you know it. But, again, you won’t release them for fear of what might happen if you do! We all know that now!.

Let me end today’s blog and thoughts with this thought, How did America, a country of such pride, dignity, and honor, ever elect a 34 time felon as President? How did we ever allow a two time Impeached President to get re-elected? How do we get to the truth about Trump’s involvement and friendship with Epstein and Maxwell and the pedophile cases that happened and are currently in the news? Answer those questions MAGA Followers and we may solve some of America’s biggest worries and problems to date. Bring the answers if you have them MAGA Followers, don’t run from the facts, don’t hide the truth and don’t protect, let us get our answers now! The House of Representatives and The Senate must reopen the government and do it now! I say, if you don’t work or report to work, you shouldn’t get paid either. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander so to say. Can’t pay Federal employees cause the country is shut down, domn’t pay the politicians who shut it down either. Simple, if they don’t get paid on time watch how fast they wil go to work and change things. Just my opinions folks and thoughts for the day.

Reflections on America’s Political Landscape


Been writing blogs for many years folks over 25 now. I cover many different subjects and discussions. I speak about where I live, How I live, or politics and sometimes relationships or lack therefo. I blog about loneliness, and the dating atmosphere in my area also. I sometimes post my poems I write or links to short stories i did. And for me that is fine, I believe, but, some people get angry, over what I have to say and send me nasty notes. Look, I am a big person, character wise, and believe me, I know, not everyone will like what I say or not say. But, if you don’t, please don’t be assine or angry enough at attack me online or elsewhere. If you do, I will just stop my blog from coming your way.

The anger in America today is crazy, and I know, the causes, I see it daily. Violence is erupting across our country in many ways, from murders, to fires being lit, to violent demonstrations also. A President is supposed to stop this anger, and talk to the American People about it, not stoke it and make it worse. Our nation is not getting better folks, it is getting worse under the current President and his Administration. They have Military Troops going into cities for no good reason. The gas prices rise, the food prices rise, clothing and housing too. People are living week to week and day to day, and more unemployment keeps coming as jobs get cut. Factories and jobs are not coming back to America as President Trump said they would.

We have declined in status in the world, and we are heading for the lower levels of world living soon enough. America though will recover most of what it is losing after President Trump is gone. His anger and rheotric will die down and his Maga Movement will move on or die out once he is gone. And no I do not believe or see J.D. Vance being elected once Trump is done. There are far too many MAGA people in our Government as it is today. So, in my opinion America is getting fed up with what is happening these days. I don’t care if Trump came up with a Peace plan and stopped wars. I care about how do I feed myself, my children my spouse and keep my home or house and more. The more Tariffs Trump issues against other countries, affects us deeply. Either he is blind to it, or just plain playing games, because all those tariffs are being paid for by, we the americans. As your Medicare and Medicaid services go down and the prices go up, so do food, rent, mortagages and clothing and utilities. President Trump isn’t being a President for the average American Household or person, he is being a President seeking awards and acclaim and fame is all, for when he passes away, in the future. Thats fine for him, but bad for all Americans who need financial and medical and homes to live in. He is doing nothing for us, the American People!

The sad thing is the further he pushes, the more people who join his MAGA Movement, makes us all a sadder and unfit nation, with their crazy rants and raving about how great they, and he are. It’s a lie and bullshit folks! As we continue forward in time here, I remind all of a few things about our President. And yes, I said Our President because he is supposed to be representing all Americans. His first term in office as Number 45, he was Impeached twice. Since then he has been accussed of Pedophile actitivites with his friend Jeffery Epstien, Convicted of 34 Felonies also. He attacks Medicare, he attacks Medicaid, He attacks Social Security and Veteran’s Benefits. Gas price rise, medical costs rise, and he believes he is the solution to it all, by taking over the pharmicial industry also? No, not right1

The American Militray is being used by Trump against the American People, by placing them in cities across the country. What purpose or reason is there for these actions? There is no insurrections, or violence that the current police forces can not handle, happening. There is no major uprising of Americans on our streets. Peaceful protests yes, but, it isn’t bad enough to be called insurrections. He has gone extreme in more ways than one folks and his party, the Republicans sit there and go, yes sir, yes sir, two bags full and approve of all he is doing and trying to do. They are like puppets on strings being manipilated and directed by President Trump. There is no need for a Government shutdown right now, it happpened cause Trump wanted it, so he could cut back jobs from his enemies. he is also, chasing and indicting people using the Justice Department as his weapon against those on his enemies lists. No President does this shit folks, Trump has and will continue to, until the American People stand up and stop him. If the American People don’t stop him, he will continue to rant and rave and go on his vengeful, retribution tour try to indict and convict anyone who, was involved in convicting him. This is what you Get when you Elect a Twice impeached, 35 times convicted felon, as your President folks! And thanks to those who voted for him, we are stuck with it all, till he leaves office. You did it folks, now live with it. When you find you have no more job, can’t afford a doctor or hospital, or can’t get gas to go to work, you can’t eat normal or home yourself and your families, you will realize what you did. Until then, you will remain the MAGA Followers you are, playing his tune and like the Pied Piper before him, Trump shall continue to play his tune and you shall blidly follow him to your doom.

Rantings, I do!


Hello October 11th, 2025, here in Westborough this am it is overcast and 50 degrees. As usuaul Westborough, Ma. is a quiet lil town, with many people roaming round, but few say hello, don’t you know. We rush to and fro, and off to more stores we go. We run home to change and dress and try to look our best, yet no one says hello. It;sa quiet burg so to say, you can run from store to store everyday. You can run from one bar or tavern to another, and never worry about any bother. Every now and then, politics come up, and people get angry it seems to me. We have the Maga folks, The Democrats and the Independents too. it like living in a rough neighborhood, and leanring what not to say in school. So you avoid politics and you try to make conversation with those you meet, most of the time it ends with a nod of your head and an utter defeat.

I love life, I love laughter, I love having something to do an dthe chatter. I love interacting and having fun, but, in Westborough thats not the way it’s done. I don’t drink, although I have tried taverns and bars, all bullshit aside. I have popped into JP’s, Red Heat,Cold Harbor, and Central House at different times. Even The NeighborHood tavern around the corner from me, which has a great sandwhich I love. What I have observed is most people don’t interact with people they don’t know, and they basically hang with only folks they know. Now, I understand, staying safe, staying with friends, but you can never expand that, if you don’t let others in. It’sa veryc autious atmosphere in Westborough, people tend to walk right by, and not say a thing.

I love walking trails and resevoirs, I like bowling and playing pool with friends myself. But, by doing the sam ethings repeptitvely, we isolate ourselves and we don’t even see. Age is another factor I see, while the youth have fun and the middle age to 55 hang on, and have families, there are senior citizen who have nobody and no way to find anyone either, like me. You can laugh, you can joke, but, in the end, you are alone and you know it. People seem closed off, or distant, or fearful of strangers, or just saying hello. I know, for myself I may talk to many, but, it is like asurface brushing, and no touching, feeling, I get. I know I have said it before, so, us Seniors 55 and up, end up alone, when our partners die or divorce us. In my case i lost my wife of 28 years, when she passed due to Breast cancer. I find myself, looking, but never touching since, her passing. It’s like a little child at a candy store window, who is afraid to say I want that one, becaus ethey know they can’t afford it, or will get rejected and told to move on. we hesitate, we procrasiant, we smile and do nothing and walk away. It’s all a part of a Seniors day. I have seen many women, I admire you see, yet I say nothing, for fear they will reject me. We get older we get set in our ways, so, it leads to be alone is all I will say.

Anyway, as life goes on, I hope America has learned a lesson now on the Political Level. We will suffer now, due to the way the voting went last time around. Prices, rise, on food, utilities, gas, clothing, housing and more. people are getting laid off, and having trouble finding jobs now. The economy is now in the dumps. Sadly, it wil hit all of us period, at some point, we all will hurt and that sucks. medicare, medicaid, social Security, Veteran’s Benefits and more all under attack these days. I hear men searching for work, but none to be found, no one is hiring you see. They can’t afford to, they have to stay afloat themselves and their companies. It’s a brutal, circle of how do I stay a float, keep my business going and feed and take care of my own family, without losing it all. So they, cut back, they lay off, they don’t hire anymore. people don’t spend, if they don’t have it folks, so places are closing down. Jobs are disappearing and more homeless and unemployed are growing. It produces a atmosphere of desperation for many, how do I keep my home, how do I feed and dress my family, what happens if one of us gets sick or hurt? So cautiousness, comes out, and fear and thats where america is at these days, you see.

Well, I rattle, I roar, and I talk and chatter. I know in the end most of what i say, doesn’t matter. No one listens to one voice in the woods, when all the noise of the world is so loud and bold you see. we who care, or wonder, or look for solutions, get overshouted and drowned out. So, we do what we can by making some noise and we try, but, in the end, the world flies by. It’s all a mess these days you see, is there a way to fix it, or must we let it be?

Screaming doesn’t help, yelling either,nor does violence, or being a cheater. In the end, the truth is this, too many Americans choose this. And as Americans know the majority wins in each election, and once you make the choice, they are in office and you lose your voice. So we are stuck now, until at least the mid-terms, and maybe till 2028, as we now have learned. The Senate an dthe House cowtow, to the man who won, he helpe dthem get their jobs and now it is done. They earn apaycheck even if they don’t work, so they don’t care if you or I hurt. If your going to shut down the Government, then you shouldn’t be paid either, if you ask me. why are we paying Senators and Representatives, to sit home and not do their jobs? Lets stop this, lets not pay them, till they return to work. Lets, hit there medical and dental benefits like they are hitting ours. It’s time to take the fight to where it belongs, to the politicians who led us on. americans need to stand up and fight back, or we shall all lose, we are under attack.

Best of Luck to all of course.


I have surrendered in many ways to the current enviroment and condition of the Senior Dating Scene in Massachuetts and Westborough area here. I gave up on dating sites, becaus ethey eat one’s money and produce very few results, that don’t match what one is looking for in a partner. No matter what preferences you put out, or distances either. I know it sound crazy and some may believe I am wrong for saying so, it is true.

I love people in general and women always. I like smart women, and ones with a sense of themselves and a sense of humor too. I always have said if one can not laugh at themselves, they are not worth knowing really. I love intellence in women in all ways and honesty too. Yet in Today’s world, it seems women have many concerns when it comes to dating, especially in my age range. I am 69, and many women are concerned, first off, about preserving and protecting their own money and belongings and money. I have no interest in any of that, I am fine with what I have. I have my own money, my own home and my own car, to do as I please and go where I want. At this stage in my life, I don’t need a woman to clean or cook for me, either I do fine on my own since I Graduated from College with a Degree in Hospitality Management/ Hotel Managament. Then I hear the concern of all men want is sex, and we want a woman’s body. Look I admire the female body, I love the persons who live in them too. But, if you think just because you have a great body, I will chase you, you wrong, I don’t work on looks or physical features. I guess i am different in many ways, I like a mind, a personality, a smile, a laugh and interactions. I don’t seek just a sexual partner, I seek a companion, but, under the way the dating scene works these days, if your like me, you get ignored by women. Why, because I do not chase or persue, I talk to women and treat them with respect. I believe a woman is smart enough to let a man know she is interested and what she wants. But, again I am not like most men, on that point! I am me, for who else can I be, has always been what I go by. I look at it simply as, well you can like me, or not like me, I cna live with it either way and I force myself upon no one.

Too bad it’s not the same world I met my two wives i had in. Back then, I went to Bowling Alleys and Pool Halls and met my first wife while in the Navy. We had 12 years of marriage and two children before we divorced. My Second wife i met in a sinmple way too, A Single’s Dance. I went just seeking to have fun and get out. I sa wher across a crowded roomand asked her to dance. 28 Years later, she passed on from Breast Cancer, and yes I miss her. Yet I am still here. So, I have to live on till I pass, we all do the same thing, don’t we?

I find life interesting in many ways. It can be unpredictable. it can be sudden, it can be long lasting and loving, and it can be many other things. It can be angry, it can be sad, it can be grieving or it can be enjoying and laughing. Life is a mystery, and at the sametime, it can also be like a plane coming in for a landing, a flight path already determined. We control our own destiny and fate don’t we? At least I believe we do, to a point. You go about your own business, go shopping, walking, play a game or sport, go to a movie or even go to a tavern or bar or church, if you chose to. But, who you interact with, how you do it, determeines if you find someone or someone finds you. Physical attratcion is one thing, sexual attratcion another, mental attraction is a third. We work off of interactions, off of discussions and talks, socially, it is an effort to interact in todays America and world. Why, because interaction these days is on the interaction, through social apps and dating sites, more than in person. We have gotten away from interacting with one another, we do more online than ever before.

One thing that has come up world wide is how the population of the world is decreasing, not staying the same or growing. Why? Simple, human interactions are less these days. AI and the internet has taken us from in person interactions to online interactions, and texting and cell phones. Then sites are popping up on a daily basis that call themselves dating sites and they only take you for your money. You get hacked, you get chased and spammed and people want your money not you. Dating apps today are not real, many are phoney is all. Sad I know but, true. So what does one do in todays world to find companionship, friendships or love or a commitment to being in a relationship? It’s like shooting an arrow at targets you can not zero in on, these days, too many moving targets period. So men, stop chasing, we stop pursuing, we stop trying to use dating apps too. Then, women complain men won’t ask them out, reason is simple ladies, men got tired of refusals and denials and put downs just like you do. It’s really a mess to waddle through and try to find someone to match with. Sadly, the population is diminishing on the planet, and in America as a country too. I don’t know what to say or do, I shy from asking any woman out, because I too, hate the idea of rejection. We all do no matter what sex we are, don’t we. It hurts. So, we stop trying and give up! Just my thoughts as of today in 2025, Just figured i would voic ethem her eon my blog. Best of Luck to all of course.
