Wish I'd Said It. Weeds are flowers too - once you get to know them. Friday, December 14, 2012. An Open Letter To America. Hello my Southern Brother. I bring greetings and a message.

What is really true is your society is fecked and all the John Waynes in the world cain’t hardly fix it. I sincerely and deeply apologize for the previous sentence. Parse it at your risk.). They ...

Baron It All: August 2011
http://fpbaron.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wish I'd Said It. Weeds are flowers too - once you get to know them. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. On Turning 60 (#240). I reflected some and concluded there’s not gonna be too many more new decades to pause and reflect from, so maybe I’d best get started. Yes, I know what people are saying: 60 is the new 50. (42 if you had surgery.) Tell that to my knees when I’m heading uphill. Which reminds me. Why the heck is nearly everything uphill nowadays? I sat on a porch on a summer night with friends, playing guit...

Baron It All: April 2013
http://fpbaron.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wish I'd Said It. Weeds are flowers too - once you get to know them. Monday, April 15, 2013. Fundamentalism, Maturity and A Cute Puppy (#246). As many of you know, I grew up in a staunchly Catholic home and was educated in the Catholic school system. I remember in Grade 1, we had a little primer with questions and answers about the faith. The very first q and a was:. Q - Who made you? A - God made me. They can overlook some abominable behaviour I guess - but not man-to-man or woman-to-woman loving. Now, ...

Baron It All: June 2012
http://fpbaron.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wish I'd Said It. Weeds are flowers too - once you get to know them. Thursday, June 21, 2012. Noun 1. state of flux - a state of uncertainty about what should be done (usually following some important event) preceding the establishment of a new direction of action - The Free Dictionary. Yep That s'plains it. That's howcum I haven't posted here in six months. I was fluxing. I meant to post. But I was fluxing my fool head off. So, we're taking it. Once settled into the new place (we're going to call it The...

Baron It All: July 2013
http://fpbaron.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wish I'd Said It. Weeds are flowers too - once you get to know them. Thursday, July 25, 2013. Aloha, Farewell, Thank You (#248). And I hope we'll meet again. I'm just not sure when, or if, it'll be here. Way back umpteen years ago, I used to write a few goofy emails and send them to some online friends. One day, one of those friends who shall remains nameless (of course it was Hilary) double-dog dared me to commit to a weekly, goofy email, and expand the list of recipients. And so it went. My life, our l...

Wish I'd Said It. Weeds are flowers too - once you get to know them. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Pulling A Thoreau (#241). I’ve been preoccupied the past several months - to such an extent that I’ve hardly written a word. 8220;Frank,” I hear those of you who’ve been paying some attention say, “we know you’ve been darn busy playing with your spiffy new camera and lenses. We understand. Go forth and shoot.”. That was most likely a joke. Complicating matters somewhat is the fact that I’m no longer si...

Baron It All: 1971 & RIP To A Journalism Giant (#247)
http://fpbaron.blogspot.com/2013/05/1971-rip-to-journalism-giant-247.html
Wish I'd Said It. Weeds are flowers too - once you get to know them. Wednesday, May 15, 2013. 1971 and RIP To A Journalism Giant (#247). It was a time of meeting people from around the world, visiting historic sites and generally expanding my horizons. I had two Journalistic heroes in those days. One was the great Hunter S. Thompson, the man who put gonzo into Journalism, shattering the stereotype of the blandly objective reporter. I loved the columns he wrote about his life-long love affair with Jack Ru...
