We have been living in Burlington, NC for about three years now have yet to develop close friends here. In the past my friendships have mainly come from the Unitarian Church or the Quaker Meeting that I attended. The friends I have here come from either Pickleball or from the YMCA. Unfortunately the closest Unitarian […]
What is time anyway? Is there really such a thing as wasting time. If you are not doing something constructive with your time does that mean you are wasting your time. Although we measure time by how long it take the earth to make a complete rotation and how long it takes for the earth […]
When I started this blog I planned to write something every day, or at least several times a week, but I don’t always feel like I have something to say or at least something that I want to put in print. So, my new goal is to write here frequently even if I don’t have […]
I have a friend who may be a Trumper? Although we have never discussed politics he did recently post on Facebook something that indicated that he is anti Biden. Does that translate into being a Trump supporter? I was tempted to respond to the post but decided to respond here instead. Particularly the items critical […]

I’m not sure member is the right […]

I only recently became aware of them since a Rabbi near us is working for the Reconstructionists. As far as Quakers are […]
I volunteered to do the tech set-up for the hybrid Meeting yesterday – so I went early the last couple of Sundays to see what was involved. The easy part was plugging in the wi-fi extenders. I thought I had mastered it all except last Sunday I realized that when I hooked up the speakers I never […]
I had an appointment with a Cardiologist today – turned out he was performing a procedure at the hospital so the visit was with his P. A. Didn’t really find out anything but she is having me wear a heart monitor for 3 days. I thought they would do an EKG but apparently they have to be […]
I volunteered to do the tech set up at Spring Meeting on the 14th, so yesterday I went a little early to learn how to do the set up. Since we had a drainage backup problem which I dealt with early Sunday morning I did not get there as early as I had hoped. On Saturday I […]
