I’ve always wished that I could read the opinions of my grandfather, great-grandfather and so on about the politics of their day. What did my ancestors think about Lincoln? What were their thoughts on FDR, Eisenhower, Kennedy? Growing up politics was a bland affair and I was more interested in cartoons anyway. I knew Reagan…… Continue reading LTMD – Politics of the Day – Biden and Trump
Category: Letters to my descendants
Letters To My Descendants. I thought it would be a neat idea to write directly to my descendants. I’d love it if my ancestors had written something to me. A direct message that transcends time and death. You may not yet be alive but I’m thinking of you and wanted to say hello.
LTMD – The State of the USA
Dear Descendants, I thought it might be interesting for you to hear my thoughts on these very dark times in the history of the USA. You’ll be reading about these times in the history books and so I wanted to give you my perspective. To start, let me say that I do not like either…… Continue reading LTMD – The State of the USA
LTMD – The state of things in 2019
It has been a long time since I’ve done an “Letters to My Descendants” post. Here is how I see the world around me in the year 2019. We are in the midst of the Trump presidency. Historians will surely look upon this time as a very low one for America. You may wonder how…… Continue reading LTMD – The state of things in 2019
LTMD – My Philosophy
My evolving philosophy on life, religion and profound subjects. Update 11.4.2018 This subject continues to be on my mind.

The Universe Everything…… Continue reading LTMD – My Philosophy

It has been a long while since I wrote an LTMD. This is an article for my descendants to read when they are in high school decades from now. I read an article yesterday on CNN called “The changing reasons why women cheat on their husbands” (Link) and thought I’d offer some advice. I never…… Continue reading LTMD – Dating
The Ancient World, Middle Ages, Christianity and Modern Times
LTMD: I address this to you as there really aren’t many people with whom I could speak freely regarding this subject. So, as I do with many ‘difficult’ topics I’d rather write it to you. I’ve recently become fascinated with the ‘ancient world,’ which is defined as the time before the fall of the Roman…… Continue reading The Ancient World, Middle Ages, Christianity and Modern Times
Hillary Clinton – Disappointment
I’m making this an LTMD as there is enough being written about Hillary’s shock loss and I’m not interested in adding to the conversation. I just want to let my descendants in the far future know some of my current thoughts. And my thoughts are this: Most of us, including myself, only know politicians by…… Continue reading Hillary Clinton – Disappointment
Presidential Election 2016 – Trump Wins
It is 4:56 AM. I stayed up past my 8:30 PM bedtime last night watching the election results come in. At 8:45 PM I decided it was time to start drinking and by 10:30 I had enough beer, saw the future was bleak and went to bed. Now, on a peaceful morning on November 9th,…… Continue reading Presidential Election 2016 – Trump Wins
