WELCOME LETTER
Welcome to the Cranky Old Guy’s Club.
Being a C.O.G is not an easy accomplishment.
It is more of an art form.
As this is a personal achievement, every guy or gal to his own way, and there is no developmental training program as life itself.
However, we still share ideas, discussions of shared concepts, when we meet.
The silent majority is not actually silent.
We just don’t make loud issue on the corner.
We are those that live our lives in the appreciation that we can.
We wish to continue that.
All around us are ways that can be opened to provide support for one or many by individual effort. We have families, homes, neighborhoods, communities.
There are many aspects of our culture that are in decay.
Everywhere, there may be something, Great or Small, that Creates.
Each to our own design and abilities.
Sometimes it just takes the right word at the right time.
Generosity and courtesy builds momentum.
What one does is important.
Thank you.
for ourselves and our posterity,
A man should take care of his woman, and a woman should take care of her man.
Neither is above the other.
A society grows great when old men plant trees the shades of which they know they will never sit in.
Good people do good things for people. That’s It.
We are in the next great revolution. How we come out of it is in the way we respond
Everyone in your life will have a last day with you and you do not know when it will be.
Focus on the step ahead of you instead of the whole staircase.
Advancing our prospects:
Butterflies cannot see their wings. They cannot see how beautiful they are.
People are like that.
Latin and Greek were once taught in high school.
Now they teach remedial English in college.
This world is just a test and a chance to find yourself.
Help people even when you know they cannot help you back.
Critical thinking skills were once a foundation in our education.
Now it is nearly non-existent.
Time to bring them back.
God can say, Men can say, and You can say but at the end,
It is your choice which to follow.
The Ark was Not Built in the Rain
When you buy from a small business, you’re not helping a CEO buy a 3rd holiday home. You are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy his team jersey, moms and dads to put food on the table.
