<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; With the Memorial Day weekend rapidly approaching, it comes time to reflect on the reason we observe this holiday.&nbsp;It isn’t just about barbeques, picnics, poolside amusements, or a “day-off-work,” although they are welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed. &nbsp;In fact, Memorial Day is a solemn remembrance of all those who died, serving our Country in the Armed Forces.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It was originally called Decoration Day and began, May 30, 1868, after the Civil War, to honor and commemorate the thousands of early…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6051630/memorial-day-2219">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I loved sheep.&nbsp; They are one of the most enjoyable domesticated farm animals. The lambs are fun to watch, as they playfully frolic in the fields. Sheep varieties come in many different colors and hues, which provide the best fleece for wool fibers and fabrics.&nbsp; Sheep are friendly, they can learn their names, and will respond to them, whether they are pets or wild stock.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For many reasons, there is significant sheep representation in language and symbology.&nbsp; We use expressions such as, the <em>black</em>…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6051629/rainbow-sheep">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It is an interesting phenomenon that we look at others, who seem to have it all, or have it "all together," we think their lives are perfect, they are flawless and they don’t have any problems.&nbsp; It is such a natural tendency to assume that we are the only ones who are deficient in talents or consumed with worry.&nbsp; Even though the grass is always greener on the other side, one of life’s great lessons is that everyone is here to grow, overcome, achieve, and triumph.&nbsp;</p>

 &nbsp; &nbsp; For a musician, playing live is a truly noble profession. There are a few who do it exceptionally well and I have always stood in tremendous awe of their accomplishments. It is such good fortune to achieve dreams and to be able to make a living doing what one loves most — in my case, music. 
 
 
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; I wish I could say I were in that League. My little league is the one that works by day to pay the bills and lives by night to make the music.

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Welcome Daylight savings time!&nbsp; I don’t know that I have been a proponent of year-long daylight savings.&nbsp; I always enjoy the feel of a season change when shorter days become noticeable and longer nights appear earlier.&nbsp; But with the approach of spring, it is enjoyable to bask in the glow of longer days and frolic in the warmth of moonlit nights.&nbsp; Not that Spring has completely arrived.&nbsp; It is certainly winter in most parts and, in California, it is still…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6051626/moonlight-to-daylight">Read more</a></span></div>
