These Bs make up a good bit of who I am. From time to time I will use one of them as a starting point.
- Bamboo--Exceedingly flexible, exceedingly strong. Ruth Chang told me, one day somewhere in Southeast Asia, "You are bamboo." But I had it going five years before I spent that time in the Pacific Rim countries.
- Banties--Now that's another story and series of short, short stories. At the present time I have 4 Light Brahmas (Brahma Pootras, Chittagongs, Shanghais), 3 Cochins (Pekins?), and 1 each of: d'Uccle, Silver-Penciled Seabright, Americauna, and Ginger Red Old English Game. Restorative, re-creational, relaxing, and almost a necessity. [Check in on my blog: "The Weekly Banty."]
- Barnabas--"Bar-nabas"--"Son of Encouragement"--what I try to be, although too often folks have had reason to say that I sure have a strange way of showing it.
- Barnboy (Horse & Hog)--There is a whole lot of rural in me. It shows up unexpectedly, and sometimes may account for some lines that surprise you.
- Barr, Nevada--Got me started reading mystery novels, hers first, then others, then all sorts of well-written, thought provoking fiction.
- Battlefields--Comments on war.
- Beauty--Yearnings, memories, aesthetics always a high priority.
- Bflat--Music: non-performer, poor reader, I only "play" music, except when doing musicological commentary.
- Bible--opens the way to the entire religious dimension. [Some of this can be found in my blog: "God Is Relative." See also my regular contributions on Rick Davis', blog, "IKANT." ]
- Biodiversity--Yard makeover: memories (nostalgia), economics, point-of-light, non-conformist challenger of the status quo, beauty, mini-ecosystem, mostly natives, problems, joys.
- Blanchard--Former students that keep in touch; earlier, I called you students, now I call you friends.
- Blah, blah, blah--this blog will serve as a catch-all, miscellaneous place to post.
- Blog--the latest on the list.
- Blue--Emotions, The Great Depression, Mental Health, the old "Country Blues," before BB and Muddy, (but hymns are higher).
- Books--I'm often reading twelve at a time, on subjects almost all the way across the spectrum I'm also writing two book manuscripts.
- Botoh--Dialectic; challenger of status quo (which is nothing to quo about), which is Latin for "the mess we're in." [This will develop on a separate blog: Considerate Thinking.]
- Broadman Hymnal--The many churches I've experienced; Southern Baptist Convention [SBC has become the "Southern Bastard Convention. No, I've not taken to profane language, it's just that after an SBC uncivil war, what is now called the SBC was born illegitimately. {By the way, there are no illegitimate children, rather, there are illegitimate parents.}]
- Bruce--My brother, but so is Mack, but Bruce is just a family member representing the entire family--Carol above all.
- Body--Health, in order to minimize the time of decrepitude, and maximize the time available to do what my life is about.
- Business--I've just retired, and must keep on top of this because I am my own investment counselor, decision maker, and manager. Only in 2000 A.D., did I begin to take "business" (as in Personal Business) seriously.
- Buttermilk--Comfort foods and their cousins.
- Buzzard--Scavenger: the great American Bald Eagle, coyotes, crows, hyenas, opossums, raccoons--and me. Reasons are several.
