Staring off into
the vastness of space
Looks all the same to me
Nothing’s changed

Change is good
otherwise life
tends to get
stale and
boring.
Then you have
the feeling
of being
stuck in a rut
which can suck.
German Proverb
To change and to change for the better are two different things.
– German proverb
Ten
A man stopped me
on the street, and
asked me; “Sir,
could you change
a ten?” “I sure
can.” I took out
a black felt tip
pen, and put on
a mustache on
Hamilton’s face.
“Here you go.”
He said, “I wanted
to know if you had
change for a $10.00
bill, not deface it.”
“Oh” I say to the
man. Silly me.
Then he called
me an asshole.
“Yup” I told
him, and have
been called
worse.

Name Change
I changed the name of my blog. It is something I’ve been wanting to do for sometime. For the past 2-3 days, I was jotting down different titles, and then went through the process of elimination. Friday night, I changed it to: “A Wandering Mind,” but after looking at it and thinking about it, changed it to : “A Pondering Mind.” So, “Don in Massachusetts” is history.
