Miles From Newport: January 2011
http://miles-from-newport.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 20, 2011. Most often I look back in time through my ears. I’m confident that is true for many of you. A song comes on the radio. It immediately transports you to a distant time, an old familiar place. It doesn’t matter what route you take. Sooner or later my heart’s gonna break. No rhyme or reason, no master plan. No nirvana, no promised land. You can also leave personal remembrances for Karon or any other deceased Newport graduate in the Memorial Garden section of the NHS alumni websit...

Miles From Newport: December 2010
http://miles-from-newport.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 2, 2010. The days around Thanksgiving may just be my favorite time of each year. It is a time of reflection. Thanksgiving reminds me to look within my heart, which allows me to 'see' more clearly the impact of my surroundings and the marks left by others. Thank you, I'm OK I guess. I just need a little rest. I'll catch up on my sleep tonight. Vegas, her health is in serious decline. I've got blueberries in the yard. I bought a hundred Mason jars. I'm gonna pick them. The hogs, gatherin.

Miles From Newport: September 2010
http://miles-from-newport.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 20, 2010. You all know that music has the power to transport you back in time. A certain song can virtually rekindle thoughts of a favored place or spark remembrances of a sweet embrace….and time is not a factor. I think I’m goin’ back. To the things I learned so well in my youth. I think I’m returning to. Those days when I was young enough to know the truth. Now there are no games. To only pass the time. No more electric trains. No more trees to climb. I can recall a time. Silver Moon ...

Miles From Newport: April 2011

Sunday, April 10, 2011. Mother and Child Reunion. Paul Simon released a song in 1972 that captured the hearts of many listeners and jumped to the top of the Billboard charts. Over the years the meaning behind the lyrics has been the topic of conversation after conversation. Regardless of the circumstances that inspired Simon to pen this popular tune, I suggest the true meaning lies in the heart and mind of each individual subject to its spell. No I would not give you false hope. Is only a motion away.

Miles From Newport: February 2014
http://miles-from-newport.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 2, 2014. Who Knows Where The Time Goes? Who knows where the time goes? I urge you to step out of the shadows and offer an answer. Surely everyone has a notion about the passage and disappearance of time. I know I am in the present and yet, suddenly, I'm in the future. Or is it the past where I find myself standing? The year 2013 has morphed into 2014 in the revelry of another New Year's Eve come and gone. That's a fact! Across the evening sky all the birds are leaving. Timeseconds tickin...

Miles From Newport: June 2013
http://miles-from-newport.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. What A Day.For A Daydream. Summer has officially arrived in the Ozarks. From my vantage point it is a 'great day to be alive.' It is one of those days when sweet thoughts of youth surround you, especially if you happen to be advancing in years. What a day for a daydream. What a day for a daydreamin' boy. And I'm lost in a daydream. Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy. And even if time ain't really on my side. It's one of those days for taking a walk outside. I know Ken has dreamed, da...

Miles From Newport: November 2012
http://miles-from-newport.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 21, 2012. It's Thanksgiving.and I'm thankful. Much like many families around the country, we are anticipating the joy of sharing time together, sitting around the dinner table with bountiful meal before us, and telling stories of times past and those no longer in our presence. The conversation is sure to be flooded by a river of memories. Moon River, wider than a mile. I'm crossing you in style some day. Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,. Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.
