Kens Burns has done it again…….. his PBS series on the Vietnam War is the most extensive documentary on a War that tore this country apart.
Watching the series’ clips of the 1968 Democratic convention reminded me that America being divided is not novel to current times…… The Establishment vs. the Counter Culture was quite the street fight.
I wish I could be less practical about death. My mom passed away five years ago. I still am not comfortable with my own grieving process when it comes to her…….. Maybe my inflated pragmatism comes from something my mom used to tell me often “Life is for the living.”

Respect to those who climb to the top of the ambition ladder. They have the records , the money , the glory. What they have accomplished you cannot take away from them……. At the zenith the enemies will reach far to pull you down. The fall is steep. All their money will never be able to take away the burn, the pain and the shame.
