A New Hobby

March 7, 2019October 14, 2019 / Stephen

I recently bought a drone, more specifically, a DJI Mavic Air. I love it!

Today, I needed a “mental health” day and spent a cold, quiet but joyous day at the park.

Enjoy!

“Let us have peace.”

In the room where it happens.

“The American war is over: but this is far from being the case with the American revolution. On the contrary, nothing but the first act of the great drama is closed. It remains yet to establish and perfect our new forms of government; and to prepare the principles, morals, and manners of our citizens, for these forms of government, after they are established and brought to perfection.” — Dr. Benjamin Rush, January 1787

Maine 2021 (Part 2): we visited @acadianps … many more pics to come.

Ambition. Distraction. Uglification. Derision. Reeling and Writhing. Laughing and Grief.

Maine 2021 (Part 1 of ?): we went whale watching with @barharborwhales where we saw about eight humpback whales, dolphins, a sperm whale and lots of seafaring birds. We saw lots of pectoral fin slapping and blowing.

I was so pleased and excited to take my daughter Mikayla on her first college tour of @colbycollege in Waterville, Maine. As a @trinitycollege alumnus, I could not be more pleased with the rigorous academic curriculum and liberal arts education I received to prepare me for further professional study at @teacherscollege @columbia as well as an historian, an educator, and a citizen— locally and globally.

Repost from musclesandnursing on TikTok. This young child is fighting the Delta variant of COVID-19. They’re on oxygen and hooked up to ThAIRapy device commonly used with CF patients to stimulate their lungs and loosen up the mucus accumulating inside. It’s all fun and games until a child dies on a ventilator.

The study of history is the forensic investigation of human events. History isn’t always rosy, it’s the whole spectrum of the human experience, and that includes acknowledging those moments when humans and their cultures, nations do not live up to their professed values, when their actions are truly evil and do not elevate the human family. A nation’s professed values of life, liberty and equality are something meant to aspire towards. Being a citizen means striving for those values.
