"The Blanket"

                                                                              The Blanket 

    Most of us today in the United States with all the access we have to read, as well to research. We are still those lazy human beings as a whole do not read neither do research. Do not truly research. I will venture to say all of us are just that way. It's a human trait. However, many appear more lazy than most, and that is unhealthy for our nation.
    As I, many times I stand in the middle. I have college, I have technical schooling, I have military in my background. I've worked corporate, mainly in accounting and finance. I have built businesses, and am running a business for the past twenty-seven years.  I've created, organized, directed and participated in charity events, raising over $100,000 cumulatively in just over a three year time span. I've earned money in three areas of sport. 
And by the way, I'm not wealthy. As well, I didn't come from much. Looking back now, I came from some major deficiencies in my childhood. It's amazing that I have experienced what I have and too, lived.
    After saying all this, someone will find fault with my essence. Why? Because of their own inequities. Yet, I will progress forward, leaving them and those like them behind. It is out of sadness.
You see my problem is that I have a heart. And this is where it all begins.  The heart that is. Insults give me fuel to my fire.  They spark my essence.
    People reading this now who know me, will begin to laugh. For they know the one thing I despise, but yet I thrive off of. It's an insult. I get fiery. I quite often giggle silently at my own responses. I'll  be listening to someone who professes their way is the best, tossing all others away. They do this to rule others, where they should not. As I clean the house, drive, work, parent, or am out running, my mind processes information and I begin to realize something that can be done. When we think it can't. I stay silent.
    And then there's  the BLANKET. Oh the BLANKET... Those statements young and old, well-educated, well-militaried (sp?), wealthy, the very poor, well-established, well-cultured, etc... will make. What happens they make those BLANKET statements not based on their expertise. Neither based on their experiences.  They make those statements out of fear, ego, and as well lacking faith. Faith in themselves. They admonish those who truly know, yet they have stayed silent. I know. I'm one of those silent people.
    This brings me to many places. If you ignore the goings on in the country, the world. Such as not reading thoroughly through, even if in unpleasant areas. You are just as guilty of destroying the world, as well as guilty of a murderous act.
    Even if you post articles, you are not saving the world, nor people if you haven't read the article in full. You may be supposing something. No matter how you look at it, it's wrong. It's  wrong, because  you really did not care enough to read through. You only cared enough to feed your ego. ---Jody-Lynn Reicher

2023 Holiday Letter from the Reicher's

Well, I didn't think I'd be doing a Holiday Letter this year, but here goes... The Spirit of Norm is in the air. As the wind whips with minus a true snowstorm.  In hopes the Farmers Almanac was correct, I pray to the snow gods. Rain ensued the month of December thus far. We have nearly tripled the amount of rainfall usual for December in New Jersey. And I've witnessed its treachery. Storms such as these hit us hardest in July. Then remained fairly intense through til about early October.  Our daughters are doing well, Thank God.  Their Dad would be proud of them. Our oldest Sarah, now a Junior at UCLA pursuing her degree in Chemical Engineering. She's digging the whole California scene. Which I thought it was for her. She's had some good traveling on her off times from school. For her March 2023 week off, she drove her and a few friends out to Lake Tahoe and went downhill skiing for a first in nearly 5 years. She had to rent the ski equipment.  Funny enough when

Maybe It's About Love

Maybe I just don't get it... "...My father sits at night with no lights on..."---Carly Simon  In my male-dominant mind. Dr. Suess-ish sing-songy "...go go go go on an adventure..." (George Santos' escapades gave me permission to use "ish".) I'd been accused of not being detailed enough in my writing. as my writer friend, Caytha put it to me now near twenty years ago. I knew she was correct. It's gotten a lot better, a whole bunch better. But the writing of sex scenes... Well... I'll need Caytha for that.  "...his cigarette glows in the dark..."---Carly Simon  Even my husband Norman could have written the simple sex scenes better than I, that I currently need in my script. And he was not a writer, but a math oriented thinker. Ala carte he was a nurturing romantic. And a sort of romantic Humphrey Bogart to his Ingrid. Otherwise, I won't go into details there. I'll let the mature audiences use their imagination. I am so

Birth is a Lottery

  Yes, this is about Taylor Swift and Love. I’ve had this discussion in depth nearly twenty years ago with a client. We were discussing being grateful for landing where we had in the years we were born.  As to now, after that conversation, my attitude still holds. You gotta kind of be happy for other people in some way, no matter where you came from. It’s like good sportsman-like conduct. You lose, you shake hands, hug, whatever. That is how I’ve handled it 99% of the time, win or lose. I remember one time, one moment in my life I didn’t do that. And I still stand by my not doing so that evening after a competition. Otherwise, every other competitor deserved my congrats.  My fight coach said that I was unusual (2013) because after losing a fight, I act as though I’ve won. To me, it was that I was just so happy to be able to compete. I’ve lost more than I’ve won. I’ll say that again. I’ve lost more than I’ve won. In softball, when I was aged nine (1971), we lost all our games as the &qu
