About this Blog

When your immediate family has people from just about every race and religion and political belief, a world view becomes the only one open and available to you or your brain melts, your heart explodes and you develop a tic in one eye while you stutter about America First and Best and Only.It's a big and human being filled world out there. I'm only one temporary inhabitant of it.
