From our point of view it was just a silly old man strolling along the road cane in hand. The night before have been rough on the neighbors although the lake was known as vacation destination. I'd rather be lost at the lake than be found at home. He knew we were standing there watching him, but yet he had this look on his face that was hard to describe. Fear... Again with the point of view. What we saw from our stance and what he saw from his were completely two different realities. We saw nothing unusual, what he saw was nothing usual. He was terrified. We continued to laugh and giggle. As he poked at it with his cane, then the movement startled him. Without warning it rose up high enough for us to see. What the... Remember that there is a view to deal with between where I stand and peer out and what you look at from yours. Sometimes it's just smoke and mirrors. #dbrn

There was a notion about this time of year, beginning of winter, brrrr. I had made reference to the pinnacle idea that a certain winter was the winter of all winters. It made all other winters to date miniscule to the events that unfolded that winter. So much life so much life lived and it was done all between November and April the traditional winter months. Up North. When you're young and fearless you'll try anything at least once. Even if it means getting an eye poked out. This was different than any other winter, it was time to indulge in all of life's wonderment. A new friendship, a new means to the end, a new commitment, a new life that would be lived from outside the box. Time to put away the childhood, I volunteered, I would never volunteer again. Ha, ha... It was all done in those winter months, those memories would live on for better than 40 years. #dbrn

Under the cover of dawn's darkness a snap from a twig in the near distance. Then another. It's attempting to flank my position is all I could think. Nurture or nature. Again another crackle, in the opposite direction. Then the wood fell dead silent again. These must be the sounds gone unheard should no one be there to hear them. The sunrise will be truly spectacular this morning. The cloud has settled in just right to do so. Sailor take warning... The crow just spoke waken from it's night sleep, other birds are now moving off their roost. Nature is once again grateful for a new day has dawned. #dbrn

What is the significance of a historical date in your life and why do you tend to hold on to such dates? Better yet, do these dates hold a monumental and fundamental changes in your path forward? Routine decisions we will make in the future will be based off of the happenings. It would be naive to think that they won't. It will happen without even reference or memory of the date in question. Our character is formed from them and our future choices will be made using this experience. Some may be too young to remember the Monica Lewinsky affair. The impeachment was all over the front page of the 1998 Columbus dispatch newspaper. This time in history would change my critical thinking for future events, It would set the stage for noticing the little things. #dbrn

Boo! Stockbridge is a village in Calumet County Wisconsin. My grandfather on my mom's side was born in the area and his father, my great-grandfather moved there after originally migrating to Ohio fleeing Ireland during the great potato famine back in the 1800s. My dad renovated a small two-story home next to the Catholic Church elementary school back in the early '60s. As the story goes it was a convent for the church. The house had some history which I'll speak to in various future formats. The one that I'm thinking about the most at the moment is the night I was visited by the houses ghost. My second floor room had a access to the attic which I had never been to. I was very concerned about Santa getting into the house through the newly remodeled chimney in the dining room. On or about Saint Nick's day I awoke and peering across the room I noticed a black figure standing at the foot of my bed under the open attic door. Scared beyond belief I pulled the covers over my head. Sometime had passed and all I wanted to do was peak out to see if it was still there. As a drew back the covers from over my eyes, and I was shocked to see it standing right next to me alongside the bed. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Without a whimper I pulled the sheet back over my eyes only to awaken in the morning sleepy-eyed but bushy-tailed. I ran downstairs only to see that Saint Nick had visited at some time during the night. #dbrn

I looked out the only window in the factory. It was the only source of light from the outside. The power had gone off just moments before, just as the radio had just started to wail away with the sever storm warning. In the silence of the moment I yelled TORNADO. Not exactly sure why but the odd things swirling about the sky above the tavern across the parking lot might of been the dead give away. Now there were ten of us standing in the middle of the lot and only one person had his wits about him and screamed basement as he ran like a linebacker at the quarterback. The door gave way and we all piled in behind him. Laying there in a mess of twisted bodies we heard a voice from whom did not make it in. ITS OVER. Rising to the occasion we all pitched in to help the displaced, to provide comfort to those who needed to know it was going to be okay. The mass destruction was not going to detour us. Didn't really know what faith was until that day and I've carried that faith through and will continue to do so. #dbrn

Just after I started my new job in January of 2020 my first payday was spent on buying a new computer package from best buy. I didn't care about rent, food or any other basic human comfort except for wanting to be connected to those who were distant from me. After shutting down the store for the day I would sit in my office and surf the internet attempting to be connected and informed. This would go on into the wee hours of the morning and I still needed to walk 3 mi to my apartment. I learned so much that first year of being all alone in the world, on my own, for my own. You know we are really never alone unless we distance ourselves from others. Hermits close the door and and stare at the computer screen. We are all so much better than that and a single act of kindness is what the world needs more of. That was 21 years ago and we are no closer today to humanity, digitally, except for closer to the grave. Pick your poison, keyboard warrior or changing the world one person at a time. #dbrn
