The triumph of mediocrity comes quietly, through lowered expectations and the comfort of “good enough.” It rewards conformity over innovation, compromise over courage, & settles so deeply into daily life that it feels natural an enduring victory disguised as stability.

To be honest things are not grand, social media is toxic (yes, I see the irony saying that here), coming to terms with trauma has been good but still not over yet, I love my incredible wife. But tired of petty actions, bullying, people so politically tone deaf & anti good governance people.

In a world facing climate crisis, rising authoritarianism, and deepening inequality, the time for division is over. Our survival our shared future depends on our ability to come together not just as nations, but as one people.

Let us unite for justice, for peace, for the generations still to come.

A little heartbroken and mad about what happened in Minnesota today. Acts of violence like this are wrong. We are the United States; reject those who would divide us. Be kind, Be wise, Be compassionate, have honor, and get know someone and build community.

I don’t like when HealthCost does something with warning or any human decency. I want HealthCare and I want HealthCost to be a cautionary tale about greed on human rights issues.

Did you know that Saturday marked 461 years since Galileo was born? Well I did a modest write up on him. www.shorelineareanews.com/2025/02/satu...

My heart is breaking. My nephew Tim & his family lost everything in the California fires; their home, their belongings, their sense of stability all gone in an instant. Can you help please?

Wrote a reflection on Dr. King for today: www.shorelineareanews.com/2025/01/refl...

Spam calls are the worse at and they just make me well grrrr. We need to build a community where people don’t turn down this road. We need a robust education system to make people dream. Finally we need workers to be paid with dignity.

Being of service to my community means fostering connection, uplifting others, and working toward equity and shared prosperity. Whether through volunteering, advocacy, or simply showing kindness, I aim to contribute to a stronger, more inclusive world where everyone has the chance to thrive.

Caring for humanity means embracing our shared dignity and rejecting fear or division. Turning someone into the “dangerous other” dehumanizes and fractures our world. Instead, choose compassion, understanding, and unity to build bridges that honor the humanity in us all.

Got back on the saddle to
Register some new voters. Found two people at the age of 20 at a bus stop by Hamlin Park. Had a fun conversation with them on why I felt good governance & voting was important. They wanted all elections to have an option to vote via an app. We agreed on the value of unions.

To edit a quote from a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens “humanity is my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, benevolence, are all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!”
