After traversing this earth for these sixty-four years there have gathered a wide variety of thoughts, experiences and events that may or may not be of interest to our readers. Doing photography work along the shoreline of Ghana, West Africa, at the mausoleum of Evita in Buenos Ares, the empty Garden Tomb in Jerusalem, behind the game-time bench of the Buffalo Bills, or digging in the centuries old dirt mounds in the quiet outback recesses of a Sioux Indian Reservation, we offer these penknife observations. Maybe in scaling through countless military parks, combing through Presidential Libraries, standing in the fatal center lane at Dealey Plaza, climbing the stairs of a Japanese war castle, going through the secret shelf-door of Anne Frank's hide-away apartment, watching with fascination the oil bubbles of the Battleship Arizona defiantly coursing up from its mangled wreckage, or just sitting on the soft cushions of my writer's couch here at home on the ninth hole; maybe among these varied mental rumblings some of these discourses may be of help or inspiration to some of you. Here goes.
