Good Fortune
Recently I had the good fortune to attend a private event at Hale Farm and Village Living Museum in Peninsula, Ohio.
When the staff gave us such outstanding service and arranged our private room in such a lovely and welcoming way, I was inspired to ask for their calendar of upcoming events. It is quite impressive and I encourage people to attend the excellent programs.

What Did You Learn Today?
Dear little boy of mine? (Tom Paxton music: 1962). I: I learned that Washington never told a lie, I learned that soldiers seldom die, I learned that everybody’s free, That’s what the teacher said to me, And that’s what I learned in school today.
II: What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine? I learned that policeman are my friends, I learned that justice never ends, I learned that murderers die for their crimes, even if we make a mistake sometimes, And that’s what I learned in school today.
III: What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine. I learned our government must be strong, it’s always right and never wrong, Our leaders are the finest men, And we elect them again and again, And that’s what I learned in school today.
IV: What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine? I learned that war is not so bad, I learned about the great ones we have had, we fought in Germany and in France, and someday I might get my chance, and that’s what I learned in school today.

State Rep. was Invited to Speak
In defense of Steve Demetriou, State Rep, District 35.
I would like to clarify a letter written by Janet Carson.
Janet is the chair for the Geauga County Democratic Party; president, Ohio Democratic County Chairs Association.
Steve Demetriou was invited to speak at our Church of the Holy Angels on State Issue 1. Steve is a well-respected representative and had knowledge about State Issue 1 that he shared with our parishioners and guests, as there were many people looking for clarification on State Issue 1.
We live in a country that is a constitutional republic and not a democracy. State Issue 1 lost by a narrow margin of 52% to 48% in Geauga County.
We, as voters/Americans, must stand up to people who do not have their facts straight. I will continue to support Steve during his term in office. I will also pray that all our state senators and representatives continue to have good morals and strive to improve our state.

The Political Game
Entertaining entering the political game?
Cleverly brand your name.
Get in your lane.
Whet your appetite for narcissistic fame.
Abandon your shame.
Practice a penchant to blame.
Repeat a conspiracy theory,
However insane.
After all,
In your chosen profession
Truth and lies are both the same.
