Fatherhood
What does it mean to be a father? Some would think just the basics, but being a father should be the same as being a mother without going through nine months which would be impossible. Being a father is another one of those forever jobs just like being a mother.

Ode to the Musician
What is music and the musician that makes it so easy and fun to listen to at any given chance to listen? Music is a series of sounds and notes that come together that makes us relax or have a good time. Music is also something that lets us show our emotions much like writing and drawing does for me and others.

Ode to Writers
Who are writers? We all learn to write our letters whether in manuscript printing or in cursive. Does that make us all writers? I remember back in second grade and just learning how all the letters joined together to make words come alive and it was pretty as a picture written in cursive handwriting with all the lines and curves like the letters 'Q', 'L', 'S', and my favorite was the letter 'Z'. Anyway, what is a writer by profession that we chose to be during a period of our lives.

Thunderstorm and Rain
Who doesn't like a good thunderstorm? When you were little your parents probably told you it was God moving furniture around or bowling. As an adult we know it is just two air masses clashing together the hot and cold of it. I still like the idea of moving furniture around or bowling. That would mean to me that heaven will be a better version of what is here.

Typewriting
Who remembers taking a typing class in high school? At my school, believee it or not it was requirement to graduate. You had to take at least one year of typewriting, but I took both courses. As I said when writing my acrostic entitled 'Old Typewriter' I also remembered these two courses.
