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.

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.

Everyday, between my cell phone an dmy computers I get hit with ads and hacker, wanting one thing or another. Some are trying to breach my iphone and other smy emails and computer. Seems desperation is high in America for sure. They will wipe out you bank accounts if they can get to them, they will ruin your life if they can and laugh on the way to the bank. Be careful folks, they are thieves, liars and con artists. It is a desperate world that our President Donald J. Trump has created. People hungry, people homeless, people ill and all because of him. When all you want as President is to be remembered for anything, and that means anything, you do crazy shit.

Attacking Cities, sending in Military Troops for no reasons. Killing the American economy, prices going up on food, housing, medical costs and utilities. people living on the streets then being picked up and deported, when they are americans or legally here or not. It’sa crazy world folks. and it won’t get any easier of better as long as Donald J. Trump is President. He makes decisions based on what people like Elon Musk tell him or Stephen Miller it’s crazy. His advisors, he has as personal friends are who are running the country not Trump. They all whisper in his ear and he goes ok, I will do that and it messes up everything he touches. Sadly, we can’t go back and unelect him but, if The Senate and House don’t stop him soon, we will be an autocratic nation under a dictator. America is a dmocracy folks, and a republic, yet, under Trump it is definitely headed for third world status and a decline in the world order. I remind all, that empires have crumbled under men like Trump, The Incas, the Aztecs, The American Indians, The Romans and yes The Japanese and Germans. All followed one man blindly like is happening her ein America and they went down in ablaz eof so called glory, killing their nations. It is happening in America today, it must be stopped.

A 34 times convicted felon, who wasa friend or a Sexual predator is running our country. Look at the photos of Trump with the young girls and Epstien. Release the file Donald, come on, the only reason you won’t is because you are in them. It’s sad, that Americans were foolish enough and blind enough to buy Trump’s bullshit and elect him once more. I see it everyday, where even the blind Maga followers, are stepping aside and walking away from it all, shaking their heads. It’s sad!

He can’t bring jobs back he doesn’t know how, he is killing Medicare and Nedicaid, attacking Social Security and Veteran’s Benefits, is this what an american President should be doing? He falls asleep in public outtings, he trips on stairs leading into Air Force One and clals himself healthy. His ankles are the size of softballs, his hands are bruised and back and blue. He can’t remember what he said five minutes ago, never mind the day before. Yet, these MAGA Follower, bend ove rbackwards to protect and defend him! It’sa sad worl Americans, when we the People allow our country to be run by such an individual!

Impeach Trump I say remove him! He is a danger to American Democracy, our Republic and our Constitution. The mid-terms will come soon enough, I pray americans will see that, no one political party should have control of all. The House and Senate must be turned, checks and balances must be reapplied and used to keep us safe. The Republicans can’t even pass a budget, or get a compromise because they are so far out of balance and one-sided. The Shut down will continue until a compromise is reached and I don’t blame the Democrats, I blame the Republicans and Trump. You can’t blame the Democrats folks they have no control, remember you gave all of that to Trump and his party. so if you can’t find a home, a job, can’t feed you children and yourself, or you are living in the streets,, trump is why! If your medical costs are rising like your food prices, your clothing and gas for your cars, blame Trump. he promised to fix it remember! If your tire dof seeing National Guard Troops storm cities an dtake over their streets, blame Trump, no one does this shit as President he is. he even stacked the Supreme Court for himself and got away with it! They do as trump wants and help him along the way. Sad, they do so becaus ehe gave them lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court so they owe him. Thats not their job folks, they are there to interpet the Constitution and the laws of the land, to Protect and Defend the OCnstitution and serve the People, not Trump, someone needs to tell them that. What Happened to John Roberts being the man to make things right, he is in Trump’s pocket now. It must stop. America needs to get back to Democracy, to being a Republic, to Freedom of Speech. we need our rights, our Admendments enforced.

Last thing, if Trump pardons Maxwell, it is a travisty of Justice, and a crime in an dof itself. You don’t Pardon, child Molesters, Pedophiles and Child trafficers. The American People will go nuts. there is about to come a reckoning in America and it won’t be nice folks. I believe it is coming. How or when I do not know, but, it s on it’s way. I am not calling for anything, but, I can feel the hate and anger grow, I can see the violenc ein America growing and getting worse. Whats Next America, how long before, we have bent so far and we finally snap back suddenly? It’s coming I can feel it, in the tensions and stress and pressure build up around the country. What’s Next?

Beyond Me

October 6th, 2025

William McCurrach

At Times, One feels,

One hurts, one doesn’t,

One likes one, doesn’t,

And from a distance,

We all admire.

It may be a look, laugh, a smile,

It may be just the style,

But in the end, it holds one’s attention,

For longer than a while.

The happiness, the joy,

The fun times you see,

They make us all,

Who we be.

We can’t laugh forever,

We cry sometimes,

Knowing those we admire,

Are far above and beyond our lines.

We hold them above, we watch them with love,

Knowing they are far above our level,

Far above our reach,

For they be the ones,

We love, and want,

But we can never touch or love you see,

For they are above you and me.

So, I do what I can,

I admire from afar,

I look,

I wonder,

And I blunder tou see,

For I know she will never ever, see me.

If there were, but one chance,

One time to try you see, I would ask her to dance,

But I know my words would fail me.

So I watch, I admire, and enjoy,

The soul of such a lady, you see,

Knowing that she is far above,

And beyond me!

Wanting to Belong

September 5th, 2024

William M. William McCurrach

I look, I wonder,

I listen, I blunder,

I then back into a crowded room,

And people are laughing away the gloom.

There are times in life,

When I miss my wife,

There are times when I did things wrong,

And wish I can go back and make them right.

Then there are times, I wonder what I am still doing here,

For I am alone and sometimes live in fear.

Other times, I am fine alone,

Standing tall, on my own.

Yet, we all know, we can’t be an island on our own,

For we fear the loneliness and being on our own.

We wander and wonder, we seem to go on,

Please just remember, we all want to just belong !

You Can Do it!

October 6, 2025

William McCurrach

It has taken time,

In my heart and mind,

To realize,

My life,

Has been a surprise.

I survived 99 seizures as a baby,

I survived an abusive and violent childhood,

I did it all,

And stayed alive,

That my frends,

Was all a surprise.

I did things no one expected me to,

Somehow, Someway,

I survived each day.

I served my country,

I went back to do college,

I married twice and had two kids,

Somehow I did not blow my lid.

I am old these days you see,

But instinct, determination,

All pushed me.

So always remember and never forget,

You too can survive,

And get to where you wish yet.

Put your mind to,

Stick to it,

For by doing so,

You can do it!

Open Heart/ Open Mind

October 3rd, 2025

William M. McCurrach

Mountains We have climbed,

Places We have been,

People we have known,

It’s what shapes,

Me and You!

All of it you see,

Makes all of us,

Individually.

Some we shall love,

Some we shall like,

Some we won’t,

You See,

But that is up to you and to me.

So, no matter where we go,

No Matter what we do,

It’s through others and fate and destiny,

That makes me and you!

Never forget, no one is perfect,

No one is all fine,

Leave a little leeway,

In Your heart and mind,

If you don’t learn to accept,

Then you don’t learn and grow,

And bellieve me my friends,

Thats not the way to go.

Be open, be kind,

and keep a open heart,

And a open mind!

I guess it is impossible, to meet anyone in my age range, to date these days. the ladies all seem to want money or a man to f x their home or car or something. I wish I could find one in my age range who can pay her own bills, isn’t ill or needing care, or trying to take money. Whats wrong with just dating for fun, having a good time, and living in peace and seeing what happens. Why must it all be like an interview for job? Why can’t i find a woman who is single, divorced, alone or widowed that wants to just have a companion and friend first and foremost?

Ladies i don’t want your home, I have one, I don’t want your car I have one, I don’t want you money either I am fine here. I don’t want to move in with you or take over your life. I would like a woman who can laugh at herself, who can hold a decent conversation, who like to go to dinner now and then and a movie, or a club somewhere to slow dance and have fun. I don’t wnat to be taken for money anymore than any woman does, I don’t want anyone moving in with me either or aksing me to pay for everything. I just want a companion, a friend first and foremost. If anything develops as we are seeing one another fine, if it doens’t fine too. But, it is totally crazy, that it is so hard to find a woman who believes the same!

Just my opinion ladiesof course, but, I think if you stop thinking about if a man wants sex, or your money or your belongings or home, then you may finda decent one if you gave us men a chance. Otherwise Massachuetts and Westborough an dthe area will be one lonely place for many. I am 69, a widower here, living alone and doing just fine. I would hope, you are fine and doing your thing also. I just hope at sometime, someplace, I cna meet a lady, for comapnionship and see how it goes. No luck so far for me, since I moved here in 2022.

Enough hate, enough bigotry, enough discriminationa nd prejudice, enough! Enough this one putting down that one, this party attacking the other! We can not go forward asa nationa nd people if we can not learn to compromise and get along! Too many, fights and arguments, too many political opinions and decisions that are wrong or right, who is to choose in those cases, we the American People is who! Yes, I have to tell you some object to my blogs, and say I am fostering hate or anger toward our current President, I am not. I onlt state what I know as facts. I compare what is happening today to historic facts follks, I do not expand or exagerate on them, I just state them. The sad part is, that some people are so entrenched in their beliefs and so blindly following, that they refuse to see, beyond the end of their own nose. And what is there stinks in many ways.

I have now lived over 69 years easily, and let me tell you, I have never seen an America so filled with hate, anger and discourse, like it is today. I have never seen people sit in bars and taverns and afraid to talk to each other regarding politics or issues facing us as a nation as i do now. Even simple discussions like, what was the greatest decade I lived through, cause arguments these days and voices to be raised. It is sad, is is disgusting and the anger has to stop! It is killing our country!

Prices rise daily, food cost up, utilities up, home cost up, gas prices rise, jobs disappear and get cancelled and people are hungry and tired now. The p[oliticians stand an dpoint fingers at each othe ron Television and blame one another for the mess we are in. The truth is, if they would just learn one word and do it, the country would not havea governement shutdown right now! COMPROMISE!!!!!!

No we don’t want to givemore tax breaks to the rich, no we don’t want to ignore the hungray or the ill or disabled either. How about fairness, caring, kindness, and understanding? Anyone in the Governement ever hear of those words, these days? If not, than they need voted out of office! The Senators, The Representatives were voted in to represent the people and to serve us, not to get rich off of it! Not to be special or famous folks, they were voted in to represent our views, our wants and needs and to provide for the well-being of the American People. I think they have forgotten that, all of them, all the way up to President Trump. Of course many will say I am attacking Trump, I am not folks, I just state the facts in my blog, and the facts are known in history and the comparrisons we make to what has happened before. Always remember something, If we did not leanr from history an dour past, we can not open the future an dmove ahead, period. we cna not sit back and repeat past mistakes others have made nor, can we repeat our own mistakes asa nation, we must adapt and adopt policies and laws and ideas, that make us better not worse. if we don’t we destroy the Democracy and Republic we live in, we may as well not havea Constitution them or a The Bill of Rights or our admendments we have now. For in the end, they are stripping away out rights as Americans and a nation. We are built on certain principles as a nation and we need to maintain thos eprinciples and laws and rights, or we lose them forever more.

Ben Franklin said in1755, ” Those who would give up, essential liberty, to purchase a little temprary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Franklins warning still echos against trading freedom for comfort, still sparks debates about rights, security and governement overreach today! The Founding Fathers of America had wisdom, they had beliefs and steadfast honor. They broke from a King back then and created a new Nation on this planet. We should pay attentionto their wisdom and adhere to their values, ethics and morals. It is my belief anyway, and you may not like my opinion, but I have every right to speak it, For Freedom of Speech is my right! I believe in Freedom of Speech, I believe in the Constitution, The Bill of Rights, Democracy and the Republic in which I live. Period.

Don’t let one President, one Administration one period of time in our history tjhat is current, destroy all we have accomplished for 250 years in America, Stand tall, stand proud and Support out wya of life, our laws, our rights and our nation!

Lets stop the anger, the violence , the killings. Let learn to compromise, lets learn to get along. Lets do what is right for the nation, not ourselves.

October 2nd, 2025, is here. The Red Sox are still in the playoffs, tied at one game a piece with the Yankees. The Red Sox were not even predicted to be in the playoffs at all this year, yet here they are! Let’s Go Red Sox! If they can’t win, they sure can scare the hell out of those damn Yankees can’t they folks! Let’s Go Red Sox, I say. Win or Lose I wil back em, always have and will!

Well, sports is one thing, politics is another, and lack of real leadership is another. As we sit, and our governemnt is now shut down, because neither side refuses to give in or compromise, we the American People suffer! I have a few simple things to say about this all. First I am a Disabled American Veteran, and as all Veterans will tell you, we didn’t get to go on strike, to shut down, or to say no! We did what we were told and we did it correctly, or paid a price. There is and will always be, one thing the United States Military teachs all of their members and it should be remembered by all in politics too. Before you can become a leader at anything, you must be a good follower! If you can’t follow, you can’t learn to lead folks, never forget that one.

We have a bunch of politicians sitting in positions as Senators and Representatives, who are of both sexes and numerous backgrounds and nationalities and colors and races, for we are Ameica. They need to be reminded they are there to serve the people, not themselves or their party. When the next election cycle comes around, the great mid=term, we need to kick out all the politicians who stood for this shut down and allowed it to happen. We need to kick out the ones who break the laws, we need to remove the lazy ones, who collect a paycheck and do nothing. we also need to, correct the balance in the Senate and House to reflect a more equal and working balance for all of us. I hope, due to the current situation Americans have learned now, they can not give the Presidency, The Senate and House to one political party ever again. It’s dangerous and as we now know, not smart to do.

Now let me say this clearly for all to understand. President Donald J. Trump does not belong in office, he is not a man with all his mental facilities in place. He is not a Leader. He is incapable of compromise and seeks only glory and money for himself. And that my friends is dangerous and deadly. He is attacking his own country with his politics and decisions he is making. Medical costs are soaring, prescrption costs he wants to control with his own private company now? Social Security is under attack, Medicare is under attack, Medicaid is under attack why? Food price climb, gas prices climb, housing costs climb and utilities too. Why? Cause the man in the White House doesn’t care is why, he is more or less a glory hound, looking to get himself up on Mount Rushmore, or get a Nobel Peace Prie for reconiginition, then anything else. He doesn’t care about the average American, who works for a living. He’s rich, concieted, nasty and attacks everyone and anything he doesn’t like. He wants to attack all his enemies who disagree with him period. What kind of a President does this shit. The Department of Education dismantled and no one leading the process anymore, why? So many things happening that are just wrong! Why is the Department of Defense now being called The Department of War? Why is The Gulf of Mexico now being called the Gulf of America, because Trump has a whim for it to be so is why! It’s a sad, sad, sad, America, who tow-kos and bends to one man. The World knows it, they see it, and they all look at each other and go, what is wrong with Americans these days, don’t they see that this is how Hitler ran Germany and became a Dictator! This is how Rome fell, How the Aztecs fell, The Incas fell, The Japanesse fell, and so many Empires before ours fell. I thought Americans knew and had learned from the history of the world and others, no country can kow-tow and bend to one man’s rule. We the American people, fought a revolutionary War to get out from under one King and Country, 250 years ago, now we are succumbing to a one man autocratic rule, in America? Are you kidding me Americans, wake up!

I am but, one man, with, but one voice and one platform, trying to reach many, not for my own cause, but to save the Counrty I defended and protected and served for 16 long years. I saw the recent speeches by Hegseth and Trump to the American Military Leaders, Generals, Admirals. I know as a military veteran, the american military is not trained to police the people, our cities or towns. They don’t beling in the streets, controlling the people. And what kind of a President, puts miliatary troops on his own countries, streets? You tell me folks, I say it is an autocratic, person who believes he is a king or dictator that does so. The Supreme Court has gone too far in allowing Trump to do as he pleases. It must be stopped now. If it isn’t stopped and if he isnt stopped, we will not have a Democracy and a Republic anymore and our freedom of speech will be gone, our Constitution will be gone, our Rights will disappear and it slowly eroding now, under Trump each day. Once Americans look close enough they shall see it. When it hits your families, when you can’t feed your families, your children, or get them medical help anymore you will wake up. Jobs are disappearing and none are coming back. Unemployment rises. What is wrong with Americans today, why are you so blind to it all. Don’t you care anymore? Are you so passive as a nation and as citizens, that we will allow one man, to destroy all that was put forth, by The Founding Fathers of America? Are we done, having our freedoms, do we want to be controlled in this way, what happened to the American Fighting Spirit, The patriots, the voice of the People? Where has it gone folks? Are you that weak, that blind, or that opinionated and brainwashed to fall for it all? Wake up!!!!!!! It is time, Americans to wake up and realize, what is happening, to react, and to stop this.

October 2025 has arrived and it is begginging to look like fall is coming in fast. The leaves shall change, the darkness will creep in slowly each day, and the winds shall come to blow the leaves away. Mankind shall continue, as we adapt to the changing weather, mankind seems to understand, how to adapt and accept and adjust to it all. Many amazing things happen in life. There are many amazing people in the world of all colors, races and creeds and many more with many needs.

I was asked one day what is the best advice to give a youngster these days, well, some were surprised by my answer, but, I think it works. In my younger days , when I was five years old, my step-father who I always called Dad, was playing his guitar. I was watching and listening to him as he did. I was interested and drawn in by the musical talent he had, I would watch him and smile and sometimes just dance in place. So, after sometime, he asked me, if I wanted to try, I said sure and messed it all up. He looked at me when I finished and he told me, Son, You can do whatever you put your mind to, if you want it bad enough, Put your mind to it and follow through, be persistant and you can do anything! He was right in many ways, He taught me at 5 years old to read music, even though now many years later I can’t, I did then, because I wanted to. That same sentence of, Wanting something, putting my mind to it and doing it, sticks with me today. It stuck with me through my life and still, I go on. Thats what I tell the youngsters of today, pick a subject or item you enjoy, you love, learn it, persist with it, and you shall get it.

The second thing I tell many people, and I have learned from my life, while i was in the Military is a simple thing, but, very vital, to survival follks. I have been all over the world and when I say that, I basically mean it. Now I have been to Europe, I have been to the North Atlantic region, I have been to Bermuda and South America. All around you see, for I was U.S Navy. I learned all men, and women want the same things in life, we all want love, we all want respect, we all want to be known for who we are and we all want to be remembered when we depart. People are the same folks, no matter what country your from, what color your skin, what language you speak, we all want the same things, the only thing to remember is that no two go about getting it, exactly the same. Talk to people folks, be friendly, be kind, and learn from one another. Soak in life, soak in other’s experiences and words, and then make your choices. Don’t decide on one point or two, research it. If there are two sides to a question that are diversive and apart, and seem so distant from one another, listen to both sides, gather the facts, and then decide., for yourself. Also, when you do decide, remember it’s your decision, on what you believe, don’t force it on anyone else, be willing to discuss it yes, but, if someone objects, or gets angry, stop, and let it go, they have their rights also. respect that, and walk away, for there is no way you can change someone else, if they are stuck and believe they are right! So, walk away and live to fight another day!

Last advice, I believe it’s the best I have heard in a long time, given to some youngsters. Find something you love to do, and follow through. If you love to do art do it, if you love to do something and it feels right and natural and it becomes your job, then you are not working but, enjoying. As long as you enjoy your job, your hobby, you work it out of pleasure or joy, don’t give it up, for life is long and one way but short in another, and working is what all humankind must do. We have to pay to survive, to eat, to home ourselves and more, to provide for our families and children too. You might as well do it, doing what you love most to do. It makes life easier.

One last thing for today folks! Let’s Go Red Sox, Let’s Go! They won the first of their three games Series last night 3 to 1. Yes, I will always be and always have been a Red Sox Fan!

September 30th, 2025 has arrived folks. The last day of the month is here, and the weather is still warm, here in Westborough, Ma. for us. Soon though fall shall begin to crawl in and take over and temperatures shall drop. For me, I prefer the slightly cooler weather that fall brings and the color of the leaves and beauty of it all. Fall is for me the best season of the four, cool enough to walk in and nice enough to change the leaves and beauty.

Summer brings heat, Winter will bring cold and snow. Spring is the second best season I like because it stays cool for a good while, and the greens of the lands open up once again. As I age I find Spring and Fall the two best and it is why I love New England the way I do. I was born and raised in Connecticut, where the weather was never a problem for me. So, I guess it’s in my DNA so to say, lol.

As September ends, The Red Sox have returned to the MLB PLayoffs starting today. It’s the first time since 2021, and I hope they win of course. I am glad to see them once more in the playoffs, but, their hated enemies the Yankees are in also and it will be a three game confrontation. Can the Red Sox win, yes, will they win well that I do not know for sure, I can only hope. I have been a Red Sox fan since I was a kid, and began as a fan in the early 1960’s. My dad/ step-father, was a Red Sox fan all his life, and never got to see them win a World Series, but I did! I have only been to Fenway Park, once in my life, and that was in 2013, after my lung cancer operation, to see them beat the Yankees. I am not rich and game tickets are expensive, so I never get there, although, I now live in Westborough, which is closer of course. Let’s Go Red Sox, Lets Go.

Well, Fall, also brings back the sports that keep me going, each week, The NFL and the NBA. I have always been a big NFL fan, I just love the sports, at least for watching on TV. I love The Celtics in the NBA, The Red Sox MLB. and I will follow the Patriots, cause i live in their area, but I love the Vikings, even if they don’t win a Superbowl. I can’t sit through a baseball game, it is too long and puts me to sleep when I try. A NFL Game I can handle more action and the same with the NBA.

Anyway, life seems to continue on no matter what happens in the world. Everyone wants to be remembered for somethinhg after they are gone and deceased. I write my blogs, my poetry, I wrote my short stories and thats me. I am not a sports hero, I am not a politician or artist of any kind. I love music yes to listen to, but, never had the patienance to learn an instrument.

I have tried some sports around here, where I live, I tried PickleBall which is very popular here in my area. When I did I twisted an ankle and never went back. Fun game, but, after the ankle twist I haven’t gone back. Bocce is next I think in 2026’s spring, I shall try that. Will I ever go back to Pickleball, I don’t know yet. I walk alot as I said before when the weather permits and I love the fresh air and sunshine, but, not high heat or ice cold weather. I live with it and it is New England.

I watch the News and see the wars, I see the way the American Governement is being run and I shake my head. I see people being assasinated, shootings and violence at a greater rate than ever before in my life. I see prices rising, for food, housing, utilities and clothings and people struggling to survive. Now we face a possible Governement shutdown again, over political differences and neither side is going to back down. If one doesn’t Americans citizens you and I will suffer. People will go hungry, or homeless, jobs are disappearing, not appearing. The Tariff’s that are being put in place are hurting more than helping anyone. What many American’s do not understand is we the people pay for those tarriffs to be in effect. It’s far too expensive and unneccessary actually and they do more bad, than good. But, I have no power, except the power of the written word and free speech, to voice these concerns, I do, voice. One vote in an election can’t change the whole fabric, but many can. So, I just hope Americans will wake up soon and realize, they are getting screwed. Medicare under attack, Medicaid under attack, Veteran’s programs under attack, food prices rising, utility costs up, gas up, and so much more. What of the elderly, or disabled like me? What happens next folks, do we lose our Social Security or VA Benefits and payments? Trump promised to never touch either, will he keep that promise?

Time wil go on folks, and the world does turn, but, there are times when I wonder, do Americans know what they are doing? Do we realize we are killing our own way of life, democracy and the republic? I know, it’s crazy to say, but it is true. And while the world watches and laughs at us, we slowly begin to fade as a country and an empire in history. It happened, to so many others, before us and we have had a decent 250 year run, as a empire and leader. But, the slip is here, and we have begun the tumble that led to the end of so many empires in the past. Is America, about to follow the trend of others who lost it, are we dying out? You tell me Americans, will our Constitution, Our Bill Of Rights and Admendments hold up? Will we be able to keep Free Speech? Will will be able to have the freedoms we always had all my life, or will Americans lose it all folks? What’s next? When, TV shows are under attack, for free speech and jokes, something is very wrong in America!
