I am behind on reading your posts and want to catch up. I enjoyed Joe and marveled at what you do and the wonderful people you meet.

One of my writing friends reads primarily philosophy and always brings us to the most interesting conversations. Like Joe and my friend, Frances. you can ponder the big questions by searching.

Thanks, Nancy, for taking time to read my posts and comment. I always appreciate your thoughts. Philosophy intrigues me, too... the big questions hover around us while we're distracted with lesser things.

Thanks, Loren. I appreciate your taking the time to read and comment. As we both know, there are so many inspirational folks and lives led "out there." It's good to help keep their memories alive.

Thanks, Dave. Right .... keep living those questions. Hope all's going well with your "home alone" time. We old guys can be dangerous left to our own devices. Take care, be well!
