Stuff

It has been a while since I have posted, and I say that with some regret.  I have had some things to say, but my mind has been busy and engaged in other things and this has suffered from lack of attention.  I will catch up, but as a short cut, I will post a link to an exceptional post.  I went to my 35th class reunion recently, and a class mate posted on his much more literate and spiritual blog about it.  Please see Steve Scott's post at  http://wrigleypreacher.blogspot.com/2014/07/things-i-learned-at-my-high-school.html

This is a test...

I am having some problems with file compression and loading times.  I know--like "whatever, who cares?" 

I don't really care all that much but I had to check something by posting.  If nothing else, it shows that my backyard "garden" continues to surprise me.  I am not sure this is an actual rose but I don't know any other name to call it.  (sorry).  It is red.  It doesn't have thorns.  It just popped up.  Doesn't really matter, I guess, as posting this serves other purposes.  It is still an attractive flower.
