Tuesday Thoughts

Thoughts of an Optimistic Writer

When polled, 80% of Americans say, “I have a book in me.” Count me in.

This blog is titled Tuesday Thoughts, written to give you a taste of my writing style. I will not spout vitriol or political bias, as there’s plenty of that available on other sites. I’ll keep the entries at about 1,200 words or less, as I want to be respectful of your time.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments and, if you like the blog, please recommend it to your friends. The most recent post immediately follows this Welcome.

Remember—when we stop reading, we stop learning.

Thanks for visiting!

Wishing you all the best,

Tim

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

–Abraham Lincoln (June 16, 1858)

Before getting to the title tease, a few thoughts on the recent election process. It was an unmitigated mess, and it didn’t have to be that way. We knew most of the early voting would be Democrat and, as vote counting went on, the total would favor former Vice President Biden. That’s exactly what happened. I am not a conspiracy […]

Tuesday Thoughts (TE): Mr. President, it’s so nice to see you and, before I begin, let me just say it’s an honor to interview you. Welcome back to the Capital.

The President (GW): Thank you. It’s great to be back in Philadelphia, but it looks so different.

GW: Washington?

TE: Yes sir; […]

Tuesday Thoughts: Law and Order

“…where there is no Law, there is no Freedom.”

–John Locke

Extremism on the far right or the far left is wrong and should be denounced. On this, I think most reasonable people would agree. The very term suggests a position far outside the mainstream of thought, be it with regard to government, politics, science, economics, or religion. I don’t know about you, but I worry about people who think they have […]
