Posted on November 19, 2021 by Silver James

So…I saw this… And I thought, “Self, you’d go to Mass with this priest.” And I would. Father Ray reminds me a lot of the Episcopal priest who officiated at my dad’s memorial serive. As we were planning things, I … Continue reading →

Friday Sinema: Skye Song

Posted on November 12, 2021 by Silver James

I watched “Outlander” for a few seasons. I never read the book, much less the series, though. While I enjoyed the HBO series (for awhile), I found the best part of it was the soundtrack. One of the songs sprinkled … Continue reading →

Posted on September 24, 2021 by Silver James

Happy Birthday to my Dad. It’s actually tomorrow but since I take weekends off from blogging, I’m a day early. I still miss him every day, even though it’s been 26 years. He and I used to watch all sorts … Continue reading →

Posted on September 23, 2021 by Silver James

The world is crazy. I get out of bed in the morning and it’s like my head explodes multiple times before I can even finish my first cup of coffee. Yesterday, it was an Amber Alert–a 10 year-old boy. His … Continue reading →

Tomorrow marks 20 years. I thought this “flash mob” was fitting. And no, I didn’t have dry eyes when while I watched. I love this country and it stands for. ‘Nuff said.

Posted on August 30, 2021 by Silver James

What is it about time? It just keeps passing, not like a lazy river but like a flash flood. Last week, Monday came dark and early. I took a nap and suddenly, it was Friday. How does that even happen?!?! … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Fortunetelling

Posted on July 22, 2021 by Silver James

So. I used to tell fortunes. Sort of. Very seldom for others, usually for myself. I used tarot cards. And I once tried Viking runes. I never got an intuitive feel for them like I did the tarot. I used … Continue reading →

A Monday to Remember

Posted on April 19, 2021 by Silver James

Twenty-six years ago, it was a Wednesday. At 9:02 a.m., the very fabric of Oklahoma City changed. I didn’t arrive on scene until 9:35 a.m. and I was the only forensic fire photographer at the time. It was chaos. It … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Sight

Posted on January 14, 2021 by Silver James

I’m trying to ignore reality. Oh, I know it’s there. And the noise of it all buzzes around my brain making me well aware of the chaos and insanity that’s out there. Call me an ostrich. I’m content at this … Continue reading →
