Adoption and Foster Children (Short Story) - 9/12/2008 7:01:16 AM
As a mother of 7 adopted children, 5 biological children, and 1 guardian, I can totally relate to this story. I am the first person in my family to adopt, but it has opened the door so that now others see it as a good thing instead of just seeing the negatives. There are so many thoughts that ran through my head as I read this... Thanks for sharing.

Orleans, VT USA 1944-1951 (Short Story) - 2/11/2008 7:04:47 PM
Dear Hank , I really enjoyed the story.. Those were the days!.. I went to Shadow Lake too. Our neighbors, Lois and Edgar Murphy had a camp there. I Think I went there in about 1949, or 1950. Is this the ariticle you had published in Orleans?....M
UU and me-Repost (Short Story) - 1/24/2008 6:26:59 PM
I can relate to always being a "woods walker." Further, I have always loved the Transcendentalists and was married in a UU church in PA. Interesting how early influences stay with us - your article demonstrates this well.
Orleans, VT USA 1944-1951 (Short Story) - 1/24/2008 6:22:37 PM
So nostalgic. Demonstrates how important the simple things are in life and what a profound impact they have in shaping who we become. I love Vermont and have written of it myself. When I visit family there again, I will be sure to track down Orleans.

On Bullshit (Hardcover) by Harry G Frankfurt (Short Story) - 7/10/2006 4:35:33 AM
Just read reviews of this book. By all means this book is not a joke. While some may be able to immediately recognize the bullshitter, the background this book provides cannot be ignored. This is good information about bullshitters and why they do what they do.
On Bullshit (Hardcover) by Harry G Frankfurt (Short Story) - 7/9/2006 9:51:55 PM
Bull shiters, along with other attributes of our 21st century race add to one big monster, that may add the end to us. That, along with our cell phones, do it yourself companies, i-pods (Which take away casual conversation and the like.
Yes, bull shitters only care about themselves and dumb down not only stories of the imagination but anything in life and that equals to war, arguments and the like. You are right on par, my friend.

Mother's and Father's days (Short Story) - 5/14/2006 4:22:48 AM
Henry - What a treat to read TODAY about your Mother... and your Father. You, apparently, came from a line of loving people, and your writing shows it. It's well sritten, and reads like a love story... which it is. Thank you.
Since you're not one of my "Trackers," you may have missed my Mothers Day contribution. It's title is simply, "Mama!" - which she surely was not... simple. It's almost 90% the real mother I grew up with.

Mom's birthday May 4, 2006 (Short Story) - 5/8/2006 10:07:07 AM
My mother's birthday was on May fifth; she would have been seventy six this year had she lived. She died 16 years ago on March 17, 1990, at the age of fifty nine and a half (she had diabetes and she died of that and complications rising from open heart surgery); i still miss her now, especially since mother's day is coming up fast. Beautiful tribute; very well done! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Henry , You've sure incorporated a lot into this thinking time line write. We are all meer mortals caught in trhe spectrum of the timeless ages. Our life on earth is brief incomparision to billions of years , yet it is our special time to leave a small part of our selves to somehow be rememberd by someone, sometime in the indefinable future.. Todays world does not offer much hope for future generations , but its all we've got!...M

Just remindeder Burt, there have been lot of deaths of loved ones on the den since last year. My own husband one, of them and now Jill Eisnagle's Dad only 61 passing away. And Karen and Karla's dad and another's friend 3 months ago. We are all grieving and supporting each other and I am sure this write from your heart is helping us heal too. Thanks for your prayers for us all.

HR 1955 and SR1959 USA Legislation (Article) - 1/6/2008 2:28:26 AM
I hope you realize that all E-mails, phone conversations, telegrams, letters and every other means of communications have been monitored ever since world war two. Point in fact, it only took ten minutes for them to produce an actual recording of the cockpit conversativion of the Russian pilot that shot down that Korean airliner out in no man’s land a couple of years ago. For over two hundred years, our congress has been making up laws. Don’t you think that in two hundred years they should be finished by now. Well, actually they were finished when they ratified the constitution, but then they had nothing else to do. When you think about it, our constitution and the ten commandants are the only laws we really need. They cover everything that is necessary for a decent society to prosper in fairness. Unfortunately, under the circumstances I learned a long time ago to follow the prime directive of Paul Townsen… "Never put anything in writing that you wouldn’t feel comfortably having a federal prosecutor read back to you in front of a federal judge." In any event, I agree, we sure as heck don’t need anymore laws, especially those that restrict our free speech and thoughts..

Hi Henry,
How fun that you were able to make the transition so easily. Having choices, and the ability to customize your system to your own needs is nice. Not havng to accept a mile-long EULA that's subject to change without notice, and being able to legally install the system on all the computers you own, without being tagged as a thief or a pirate is even nicer. No code keys to remember or keep track of, no activation process. The better security is frosting on the cake.
Good job on the article, Henry. Hope you'll periodically write more as you get more acquainted with your new OS. I'm glad I was able to help.

Free (Article) - 9/20/2006 10:09:16 AM
Henry! I'm astounded to have found a fellow Digger on AD! Do you hang out on Groklaw too? Slashdot?
"Free" is definitely a hopeful development in the world. What's sad is that so many people don't understand the differences between free, as in no monetary costs, and free as in freedom. It's also worrisome that so few people are concerned with consumer's rights and the slow death of "Fair Use." Many very serious freedom and privacy issues face us today because of our computers, I'm glad to see more people on AD spreading the word. Good job, Henry!

I know we all wish both of you a very happy 50th wedding anniversary. Looking forward to more of your writing too!!

Henry, that is a really nice tribute. I am so happy your wife is doing so much better. As a diabetic, I can empathize. Legs and mobility can be a serious problem for diabetics without the added problem of a fall.

First off, please allow me to wish you a belated happy birthday; I hope it was very satisfying and joy-filled.

Why a white guy.............. (Article) - 8/30/2006 6:15:16 PM
I commend you, Henry, for reaching out and trying to establish rapport with those of other cultures. However, as long as some consider one area "white territory" and another as "black territory", we will continue to have dissention amongst races.
Truly embracing and accepting one another without any stereotypical or socially enforced barriers is key, and we must be open-minded and nonjudgmental if we are to move forward.

Thanks for this tribute to your mother. It is with regret that she's gone but she lived a long life. I lost my mother a few weeks before her 90th birthday and also wrote a poem to honor her life. Anayone that lives as long as your mother or mind did has lived a lot and seen a lot--laughter and grief. I wonder how they felt when they lost their mothers. My mother never talked about that. Thanks to AuthordDen, we get to write about how we felt.

Thank you for sharing this. My mother passed away unexpectedly almost two years ago at the age of 67. I remember her reading us The Highwayman as well... My sister, brother and I just finished a book in tribute to my Mom. All proceeds from the sale of the book are going to Foyer de Sion, an orphanage in Haiti where seven of my children came from... Writing the book helped heal the pain of losing her in many ways...

Dear Henry, it seems that I am late, but even now my thoughts are with you. No matter, after all, time is only a means of arranging things in a sequence. Perhaps fate is involved, but I lost my mother about the same time you lost yours. Like you, I felt the need to write (the poem Mother, then the novel The Gate). And even more surprisingly, you and I are practically the same age (but don't tell anyone, I feel just a bit younger every day). Thanks for sharing. You are not alone.
