OKOBOJI here I come…

There is a town in Iowa called Okoboji (maybe you’ve heard of the University…) the town is real and the (spoiler alert) University has many alumni who never attended since the school does not exist.

Dogs don’t howl when I type…

When I use to play the saxophone to pass the time… dogs in a two block radius would start to howl. Now I type… and the dogs are silent.  Win… Win…

As water created the Grand Canyon… kindness can calm the world…

I still dream… and today is a good day to allow such thoughts into the light.  I still believe in good and peace and time showing right over wrong.

Smith Bros No.3 is Number 1 today.

I picked up the Smith Bros to have some fun… at 93 it leaps and plays with grace and ease.  I also learned about assumptions. ..

Sometimes… character is enough! (1907 “The Empire”)

Not every effort produces good type… but the type produced has character and for me its all I need to make the day complete.
