Once a person asked J.S. Bach how it was possible to get such sound from the organ. Bach told the person, “All one has to do is touch the right keys at the right time, and the instrument practically plays itself.” Well, I guess so! I once saw a made for tv (perhaps HBO) movie […]
We’ve had an unusually mild winter, and I don’t think too many people are complaining. Oh, every so often I hear someone say, “I really wish we had gotten a nice big snowfall.” Obviously someone who has never had to replace gutters brought down by heavy snow. I enjoy watching the local television weather forecasters. […]
Well, the primaries are in full swing, and the more intense things get, the more we hear the political invective hurled about. I’ve heard a lot of people say how nasty politicians are, and, of course, whenever that comes up, someone says something like, “It’s not like it used to be.” (See previous blog about […]
I suppose we all, at one time or another, have said something like, “Well, I remember when we didn’t have cell phones, and we did just fine.” You know you have–so have I.

Our Winter Fundraiser ended Saturday night at 9, and in a big way. During the three-day drive, WBJC received over 1,000 pledges, 375 of which from NEW members, and we exceeded our overall goal for the drive. Thank you to everyone who called in or visited our new website and made a pledge. Thanks also […]
Saw a report on a morning news show the other day about the proliferation of vulgarity in mainstream entertainment, specifically in book titles. The books in question all had titles that had to be blurred (pixillated, in high-tech parlance) because they are not allowed to be said (or read, for that matter) on television. This […]
