A New Jersey state of mind

Postcard from the Natural Amphitheater




"No matter one's mood, one's burdens, one's regrets; this city and
its dramatic landscape heals the soul.  Every sensory perception
is quickly heightened, tested, and enjoyed.  A bucket list essential."

My very great friend Braveheart and his family visited the Bay area
this past week, and he's kept me up to date as to where they've been
and what they've done.  I asked him to caption this photo he sent 
to me.  I'm sold buddy, no arm-twisting needed.

    1. And a broken compass is right, once every 360 degrees.

      A broken scale is right if it happens to be the correct weight.

      A broken thermometer is right if it happens to display the correct temperature.

      What this rant has to do with (what I assume is panoramic view of Elizabeth New Jersey), I have no idea.....Is that Rahway State Prison in the background?

  5. Oh, give me a home where the sailboats roam
    Where the lasers and the catamarans play
    Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
    And the skies are not cloudy all day
    Home, home on the bay
    Where lasers and the catamarans play
    Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
    And the skies are not cloudy all day

    How often at night where the heavens are bright
    With the light of the glittering stars
    Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed
    If their glory exceeds that of ours

    Home, home on the bay
    Where the lasers and the catamarans play
    Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
    And the skies are not cloudy all day

    Then give me a land where the bright diamond sand
    Flows leisurely down to the stream
    Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along
    Like a maid in a heavenly dream

    Oh I would not exchange my old home on the bay
    Where the lasers and the catamarans play
    Where the seldom is heard a discouraging word
    And the skies are not cloudy all day

    - Dr. Brewster M. Higley

    1. Isn't there a verse about the fog?

    2. There should be a verse favoring keelies and disfavoring stinkpots.

    3. How often at night when no stars are in sight
      And I'm lost and I'm chilled and agog,
      Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed,
      Will I ever get home in this fog?

  13. I've been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's
    pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

  16. First of all I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question
    in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I've had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.

    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes
    are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
    Many thanks!
