Jim's Take

My Take on Life and Events

All Roles Are Important

One thing about this bunch I live with - we do like to travel. Up and down the east coast we go.  From Driving to Rhode Island to both driving and flying to Florida several times a year, and also driving to Nashville, TN and Savannah, GA - we love to be somewhere. Many trips … Continue reading All Roles Are Important →

I Was Wrong.

Yes.  Me.  I was wrong. I know what you’re thinking.  You’re thinking, “No, that can’t be.  If there is one thing I have learned from BecauseJimSays.com it’s that Jim is never wrong.” NEVER wrong. But oh no. In fact, Lisa has been rumored to be starting her own blog, BecauseJimIsWrong.com. I’m man enough to admit … Continue reading I Was Wrong. →

From Joy To …..

What joy !!! “Happy Happy Joy Joy” – right? You ever have that moment when you had an unexpected joy? But then – BAM !!! Joy is snatched away and replaced with disappointment. But, seriously, now that I’m sitting here typing this out, I’d have to say that the disappointment should have been expected. Now, … Continue reading From Joy To ….. →

Civility

We’ve lowered ourselves as a culture. Among the things that Donald Trump has done to America is, he’s brought back hate and rudeness. I’ve always felt with each generation, we were evolving as a society.  But – NOPE. Trump brought back hatred. And now, you can take comfort in joining with others to hate the … Continue reading Civility →

It’s All My Fault.

Yes – I admit, it’s all my fault. See, I have a few character flaws.                *Side Note 1 – I know what you’re thinking.  You’re thinking, “No – that’s just not true.  You seem so well balanced and while not perfect, as close as one person might be.” But no, I have a few … Continue reading It’s All My Fault. →

Heroes Come and Go.

I had to drive to Philadelphia today to pick something up, and while channel surfing, I came across David Bowie’s “Heroes”. And it made me a bit nostalgic of my past heroes.  And as I was driving south on I-95 through Philadelphia, I recalled something that happened to a cousin of mine. I’ve had a … Continue reading Heroes Come and Go. →

It Has Happened.

IT.  HAS.  HAPPENED. What has it been, 6 months? 7? Has it been that long? But it has happened. My Super Hero Powers have manifested. I was beginning to doubt myself. I know, I know …. You were also beginning to doubt me. But no.  It happened. But now it is time to make decisions. … Continue reading It Has Happened. →

Catch Phrase

Chik-Fil-A has one, “My pleasure”.  I like it.  It’s cutesy and courteous. But not many other places do. Lisa and I went to one of our favorite places tonight, Nicolas. While I’m happy they moved out of Rehoboth and are now in Lewes, I’m also upset they moved out of Rehoboth and are now in … Continue reading Catch Phrase →

It’s Been a While

Sorry, I’ve been swamped. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed with work lately, I haven’t had time for much else. Plus, I’ve been a bit tired (from the stuff that has overwhelmed me) and I don’t have the creative juices flowing when I get too tired. However, I do have a few things to write down. … Continue reading It’s Been a While →
