  Mr & Mz World 

& All the Ships at Sea!

We're Broadcasting LIVE from the studio today

 The Old New Brunswick, New Jersey Marconi Company Wireless Station,. courtesy

 In 1919 the facility joined the newly organized

 Radio Corporation of America (RCA)

 as station WII under the World Wide Wireless logo. 

Broadcast pioneer, RCAs David Sarnoff 

is seen here in 1921, accompanied by

 some legendary scientists.

 From left to right are: three unidentified men, 

David Sarnoff, Thomas J. Hayden,

 Ernst Julius Berg, S. Benedict, 

Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla. . . .

When I was 15,

 the boy next door

was obsessed. . . .

with RADIO.

He had a weak 'pirate' station

from which we broadcast

to NO listeners around the block.

 When he got an intern-ship

at the local Public Radio Station

I started hanging out there.

As I recall, I drove to

Woodstock

with one of the engineers.

I was 16.

Eventually I learned a bit,

producing a small segment

in a community based show

for which I interviewed

and edited the interviews.

I remember cutting 

recording tape

with a razor blade,

then splicing it together.

During my one year of college

I had a show late at night.

Sunday, I joined Carroll Cox

[ Link ]

on his broadcast.

 and cheerfully
 has left a hopeful impulse
 behind it in the world,
and bettered the
 tradition of mankind. "

A Moment Held

A   L   O   H   A  !

 “ If you run from me,

 I will chase you, 

and I'll find you....” 

Jeaniene Frost

" It's wonderful
 to climb
 the liquid mountains 
of the sky. "

Helen Keller

 Towers come in all sizes

 


“ I held a moment
 in my hand,
 brilliant as a star,
fragile as a flower,
 a tiny sliver
of one hour.
 I dropped it 
carelessly,
Ah! I didn't know,
I held 
opportunity. ”

I Have the Power

A  L  O  H  A !

 “ Discipline
 is remembering
 what you 
want. "

David Campbell

" The best day of your life

 is the one on which you decide

 your life is your own.  

No apologies or excuses.  

No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. 

 The gift is yours -

 it is an amazing journey -

 and you alone

 are responsible

 for the quality of it.  

This is the day 

your life really 

 begins.  "

Bob Moawad

" Discipline 

weighs ounces, 

regret 

weighs tons.  "

Anonymous

" Self-control is strength. 

Right thought

 is mastery. 

Calmness 

is power.  ”

Awesome Power

is mine.

You can have it

too-

 though not without

decision

and effort.

No matter what happens

it is within my

Awesome Power

to Behave as

I Choose.

A Rude person

cannot MAKE me

rude.

An angry

or a sad person,

even one I love,

cannot MAKE

me feel those things;

To do so would be

a mistake-

not love.

I can respond

with love,

and private

complete forgiveness

 no matter what-

Even in regret.

 I am also free to

leave.

But another person

is not responsible

for my mood.

I am.

Only I have that power;

 I choose to accept it.

What awesome powers

have YOU developed?

Catch the pleasure

as it flies.

Catch it

out of the corner

of your eye.

Feel that catch

in your sob-throat

of morning light

gratitude.

Feel Catch Hold

with the passion

of a cat,

or child-

in other words,

with the fierce 

pleasure

of life itself.

Of life Yourself.

It is ALL you.

And me.

How Pleasant!

No Apologies

A    L    O    H    A  !

 " It is a good rule in life

never to apologize.

The right sort of people

do not want apologies,

and the wrong sort

take a mean advantage

of them. "

P.G. Wodehouse

" A stiff apology

 is a second insult.

The injured party does not want

 to be compensated. . .

 he wants to be healed 

because he has been hurt.  "

Gilbert K. Chesterton

 " Too much apology

doubles the offense. "

James Richardson

" Apology is a lovely perfume;
 it can transform 
the clumsiest moment 
into a gracious
 gift. "

Margaret Lee Runbeck

How wonderful that

Y O U

have chosen to visit us

here today.

Today I was thinking

that all advice,

every quote,

is but an approximation

of deeper universal

truths.

Universal truths

too personal

too paradoxical

to be spoken

 in words.

That of yourself

which you bring here

is more than

words.

Something of value,

a circuit of energy,

passes among us,

you & me.

Your kind visit

 adds an irreplaceable element 

to our day: YOU!

My evil twin is angry

completely understands

how a loner takes

a gun or bomb

returning pain to the man.

Alas the man is blameless

alas the man is us

till we see our face
in place of another

we can never live

in harmony

as cousin,

or as brother.
