“I’ve learned that transparency may not help you go where you want to go But it will help keep you from going where you’re not supposed to go, And it will always help you go where you’re supposed to go” *Skeete* Not long ago, as I read morning Headlines over my coffee, and observed
As I am sipping my really good cup of Ethiopian Arabica, medium roast, coffee this morning, I’ve been considering something I heard a young representative say as she was recording a presentation for one of the social networks on “green” and “racist” vegetables. Admitted
I’ve learned That I can’t change myself Unless I accept who I am, and am willing to hear the Truth about myself*1 As I sip my coffee and bite into my coffee-companion bread, I remember how much I knew I knew as a ‘smart’ young adult! Today, I’m reminded about m
“I’ve learned That in the classroom, you get the lesson first, And then take the test… and… That in life, you usually get the test first”, And then Learn the lesson! ***Skeet*** As I’m sitting here enjoying my coffee with a pastry snack, I’m thinking about
While enjoying my really good coffee, this afternoon, I’m thinking about a question (Read the Title) given me by a University Professor… His name will remain anonymous in order to prevent “cancel-culturitis”. Perhaps a light look (under 500 words) at an answer while enjoyin
While sitting and enjoying my coffee this morning, I’ve been considering something… I’m pretty particular about taking time to get the best coffee I can. It’s worth it! I’ve been considering the things I like other than coffee, too! For me, it’s important to find the best in whatev
“I’ve learned…Rushing Judgment over False CausesBrings False JusticeAnd a Harsh Reality”*Skeete* Coffee with a shot of Scotch can be quite good, and while coffee with an occasional jellybean usually works, some jellybeans… will ruin a great cup of coffee. A decent Scotch can give cof
A few days ago, while enjoying a great cup of coffee, and viewing news clips on “current” events, I recognized a common theme among some news sites, and felt they needed addressing. Our constitution, and some of the founding fathers of this nation and framers of our constitution were com

Although I have approximately 28 years of military service, my career spanned almost 40 years. As I sit, enjoying my coffee, thinking about it, I can ‘see‘ the tremendous changes our military services have progressed through. When I joined the Marines during the Vietnam era
As I’m sitting and drinking my third cup of coffee this morning, I realize, while listening to the news in the background, that I may not be who I think I am… I hear the “BLM’ers”, and the “ANTIFA hawkers”, and some “Squad”, all telling me what I must think like to be as good [
This morning, I saw on Facebook, a post and image about “…paying back evil with evil…”, in referring to authorities working to address the “civil” unrest occurring after the death of George Floyd. In this image, we note advice against repaying evil with more evil, along with
After viewing the recording, (both prior to, and up to) of the slaying of George Floyd, and subsequently, searching the ‘Net’, and seeing many similar instances, that haven’t risen to the notoriety that Officer Chauvin brought upon himself and his fellow officers, I’d like to offer up some
I have a long time acquaintance, an old friend I haven’t seen in a few years… Recently I found out that he works for a large company, in engineering, and is involved in Root Cause Analysis, or RCA. Basically, I think, RCA helps us to address a problem; its purpose is to help us find […]

In a post about George Floyd, I referred to Tony Timpa of Dallas… There are many other “incidents” like Tony Timpa and George Floyd, where crimes, committed by “Rotted-out”, corrupt Officers, who are ‘protected’ by Senior Supervision, usually lie unanswered;
I’ve learned That a good sense of humor makes Life one hell of a lot easier -Skeete- While sitting, drinking my coffee, and thinking about a special anniversary gift for my ‘BGFF’ I’ve been reminiscing… Years ago, my new wife and I were downtown window shopping, when she stopped and commen
I've learned that...staying away from trouble is far better than Praying when I get into trouble*Skeete* So… I’m sitting in my ‘Coffee Nook’ this morning, chatting it up, with my “Barista” son, who is ‘laid off’ because of the virus. As I was sitting and enjoying coffee, while he was
I was sitting and drinking a nice cup of coffee, and started writing, then had another cuppa, as this subject is very challenging for me, and I’ve ended up writing through my weekly shot of scotch… When my friends ask me what my political affiliation is I simply say I’m Independent, and that
Right now, I’m into my third cup of coffee, while my fingers ‘blaze’ along at my top typing speed of just north of 40 wpm – Can you imagine driving 40mph on the freeway?…heh! Well I’m striving for more, and perhaps, by years end, I’ll achieve the Victory
