Inscasable

Inscasable: The Urge for Going Back for Seconds and Thirds

Have you ever experienced that irresistible urge to go back for seconds and thirds? It’s a sure sign that something is exceptionally good. Interestingly, I never considered applying the term “inscasable” to a book until I read Cannery Row. Now, I’m confronted with my own book, Through Her Eyes Revised, and realizing just how inscasable it is.

After employing four different AI software programs to edit the book, I’ve read it over twenty times. Today, I downloaded the Kindle version, and to my surprise, I still found it just as interesting. This experience has made me reflect on my journey as a blogger and writer.

When I started blogging, I made a promise to myself: each blog post would be better than the last. Over the past eleven years, I’ve written more than five hundred blog posts, and this book is the culmination of all that work. It’s a product of continuous improvement, dedication, and a passion for storytelling.

Through Her Eyes Revised isn’t just a book; it’s a testament to the power of persistence and the joy of revisiting something you love, time and time again. Whether it’s a beloved meal or a cherished book, some things are simply inscasable. The Book is available everywhere my favorite place is Amazon.

P.S. just published my first Children’s book: “Children with big Ears and Potty Mouth”. Also on Amazon

Safe Travels: Navigating the Roads with Care

A twelve-hour road trip can be the most exhilarating and essential journey for your emotional well-being. It’s a chance to break free, explore, and rejuvenate. However, it can also be fraught with hazards, turning our pursuit of freedom into a perilous adventure. As Steppenwolf famously sang, “Looking for adventure and whatever comes our way.” This sentiment captures the essence of road travel – the gateway to opportunity and wealth in America began with our ability to move.

The roads themselves are marvels of engineering, capable of taking us up mountains or through tunnels carved into the earth. They connect distant points, allowing us to reach the previously unreachable. Yet, it is not the roads that are inherently dangerous; it is the drivers who make them so. The design of these pathways includes all necessary precautions, with clear signage and carefully considered routes. It’s up to us, the drivers, to heed these warnings and navigate them safely.

The fallen worker

In one of my previous blogs, “The Weakest Part of the Car,” I highlighted that the most fragile component of any vehicle is the person behind the wheel. Defensive driving is not just a recommendation; it’s a necessity. It’s the difference between life and death, between a safe arrival and a tragic accident. It means respecting traffic signs, understanding the limitations of your vehicle, and always prioritizing safety over speed.

For instance, speeding to escape a bad traffic pattern may seem like a good idea at the moment, but it can lead to disastrous consequences. You might feel the need to show off your engine’s power, but without the skills to manage it properly, you’re putting everyone on the road at risk. Effective driving is about using your engine wisely, maintaining control, and avoiding unnecessary risks.

Throughout my extensive road trips, some lasting up to twenty hours, I’ve learned the value of life and the importance of rationality behind the wheel. The road is not a place for reckless behavior or impulsive decisions. Every moment of carelessness endangers not just your life but also the lives of others who are trying to get home to their loved ones.

One poignant reminder of this is the “Fallen Workers Monument” deep in the mountains of West Virginia. During a stop at a rest area, I was drawn to a striking statue of a highway worker holding up a stop sign. On the pedestal were the names of over twenty fallen workers, a stark reminder of the consequences of carelessness.

So, as you embark on your next road trip, remember: the roads are not dangerous; it’s the driver who makes them so. Be the driver who respects the journey, values life, and prioritizes safety above all else. After all, the road to freedom and adventure should always lead us back home safely.

Excerpts from my Book; Through Her Eyes: Revised

Years later, my journey led me to South Carolina, where I crossed paths with an extraordinary woman named Flo. Despite the significant age gap, Flo became one of my many bosses in the realm of a bustling kitchen, where I worked as a Line Cook for a prominent Hospitality Company. Her name, like a gentle breeze, hinted at the graceful and fluid way she managed both the kitchen and interpersonal relationships.

Within the confines of the culinary chaos, Flo not only valued my culinary presentations but also embraced me for who I was as a person. Her ability to appreciate people beyond superficial differences, transcending the barriers of age and color, left a lasting impression on me. In her, I found a reflection of the open-minded and loving qualities reminiscent of another remarkable person in my life – Sherry.

In documenting my experiences, I couldn’t help but mention Flo in the pages of my book. She was a shining example of someone who saw beyond the surface, much like Sherry. Flo’s character and approach to life echo the sentiment captured in Elton John’s lyrics, “How wonderful life is when you are in the world.” Her openness and love for others have left an indelible mark on my journey.

Recalling my mother’s advice to seek out the amazing ten-percent in life, meeting individuals like Flo has become the guiding force of my existence. Flo’s indelible presence has reaffirmed the beauty of diversity and the richness it brings to our lives, fostering a deep appreciation for the extraordinary individuals who grace our paths. In the grand tapestry of existence, it’s crucial for individuals to acknowledge the inevitability of life’s conclusion. The essence lies in cherishing the moments with one another during our brief sojourn on this planet. Amidst the complexities of life, it becomes evident that beyond the superficialities of frills and fanfare, the true significance lies in the shared experiences and connections forged with fellow beings. Regret, often a companion in reflection, arises from the delayed realization that the paramount pursuit should be the enjoyment of each other’s company. This revelation serves as a poignant and thought-provoking exploration, urging individuals to grasp the essence of existence and embrace the profound joy found in the company of others. living each day in the turmoil of hate, only robs the precious time given on this Earth.
