I liked the part where he would play wherever he could. My husband says you can tell which kids might do something; talent of course, but they just play all the time anywhere, with anybody they can find.

We all struggle to find our way, some more than others. Good luck to Mr. Henderson.

Really nice story. He learned from the best, Dan Kane, I wish him well.

Surveys are interesting.. even the very unscientific ones. Like I am not surprised that "The Front Page" readership would give Joe Biden a high grade.. but in the end, once one answers and sees the results I wonder what is driving these (no 'motor' pun intended). For me: if the republicans had not been such an embarrassment and Biden spared so well.. I think it would have been a C grade.

The fact that the guy who the gop wants to peg as a doddering old man.. was so adept of making and allowing them to be fools.

You may be right. State of the Union speeches are rarely inspirational, but Biden did manage to define some hope for the future. I think that is something.

These are the stories I’m beginning to like, close to home. The first read thru, I skimmed it and jump around a bit. When I stopped reading, I felt something. Not being sure of what I felt I started reading it again. This time I started at the top and read straight thru to the bottom. Its then I knew………., yup defiantly something there. So, I started over, just to be sure. This time from the bottom, headed to the top, picking out only some given parts, It’s then I knew. This young man named Kellen Henderson has more to give, then just making a living. He has the makings of making a life!

I don’t see a great difference between “making a living” and “working for a living”. The following 2 links are to songs with 2 different feeling of work for a living.

I know some will be upset with me saying this, but I believe the GOP is still trying to recover from having inflicted Donald J Trump upon the nation. One could argue that the main reason Trump won was the, IMO, irrational hatred 0f Hillary Clinton. I can't help but think that had the Dems nominated pretty much any other candidate Trump never would have been President.

Gary, wrong topic thread, the following link is a more appropriate thread https://kentingley.substack.com/p/state-of-union-was-a-pep-talk . If you like to repost there, I would be glad to share my thoughts and see who get upset and who does not.

Not sure what to say, I didn’t lose anything. On the contrary, I gained. I went on a search for "No man ever steps in the same river twice." Attributed to someone called Heraclitus.

Sounds reasonable.
