So, I was writing my welcome page today and thinking about springtime. The Sea Archer, coming out in the fall, is about the descendants of Apollo, Poseidon, and Demeter. Many people know the story of Demeter albeit through Persephone and Hades but if not here’s one simplified version. Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, harvest, fertility …
December 1, 1944 USS Ajax (AR-6) off San Diego, Wikipedia Hi Bea Darling How are you and Andy tonight? I’m fine here. We sure had a swell day again today. But gee time sure drags. What are you doing today? I bet you went to the show this afternoon. Did you see a good show? …

GRADUATION 2018 Ah, bands playing pomp and circumstance, caps, gowns, tassels and diplomas. Sitting on bleachers feeling your butt go numb and praying if the speakers’ speech is long, let it at least be entertaining. I watched one of my son’s best friends graduate a couple of weekends ago from Gonzaga and I felt like …
My name is Leo Richard and I was born May 11, 1920, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. My parents George and Mabel were cousins (I know, I know), so each had the last name of Rudy. They were so excited to have their firstborn and baptized me at St. John’s Lutheran Church in the middle of …

It’s fall again, the kids are back at school, I’ve made all of my lists of things to accomplish and get started on, ready…set…go… What!!! I actually have to do it now! Damn! Okay, well here’s what’s in the works this fall. I’m in the process of finishing up Civility after a long summer hiatus. …
I know you are not supposed to talk about politics on your website. It’s like talking about money, religion, or affairs, you’re just not supposed to do it. Along with the campaigning, debates, and this election, who wants to hear another ridiculous word about it? I certainly don’t but also know I’m finishing up a …
You know I have spent the last three days organizing and getting this website up and running. I have the tentative feelings of a child that takes their hands away from a pile of rocks to see if anything falls! In trying to figure out how to make a website look good and function well, …
I remember the countdown in school to summer breaks. Most of the teachers were always really cool the week before, letting us ride out our enthusiasm and if you’re one of THOSE teachers that don’t, you should be ashamed of yourself 🙂 But I just remember the sense of freedom that always seemed to burst …
