Have you ever watched some older movies where the Director/Producer brought the entire story to a final climax in the last frame with “The End”? In those olden days of cinema, there were no sequels to keep the story line going like we have today where the main character miraculously recovers from his nearly fatal …
“But”…No matter how many times I hear this word, I know from my experiences in life, there’s a contrast or contradiction between the first sentence and the next one following the “but”.

Do you remember what you were doing on June 22, 1972? Not really you say. Well until a few months ago, neither did I. So what happened to “jog” my memory? It was a few months ago when my wife and I were cleaning out the garage and came across our high school senior yearbooks …

Don’t you enjoy being able to make a direct connection to your destination when flying on a commercial airline? I certainly do. Typically, I don’t enjoy the hassle of disembarking from one aircraft, traveling through several concourses with one or more bags in my hands, finding the right gate, and then waiting a prolonged period …
