In April of 2022, Howard Johnson decided to write a book about his life. Investigation and study revealed that everything that happened to him was unusual and unique compared to all friends and family of similar seventy-seven years, starting with being a war baby and parents with unusual backgrounds, families, strong morals, hard work ethics, and strong personal values. He found many forgotten blessings spread all throughout his years that led to particular advantages compared to many others he knows, such as dancing, singing, love of music, artistry, reading, writing, strong imagination, hard work, and a generous, friendly nature. Appreciation for designs of all kinds led to the collecting of just about everything. Cars, boats, wood, iron, metal--you name it, he collected it. His parents taught him to organize well so he could find what he was looking for quickly and easily.Good looks, good health, good fitness are all essential for a good life. His parents taught him everything from refinishing furniture to the importance of going to church, to painting a truck. His father taught him the appreciation of boats. He has a collection of wooden boats now, and people say it is the largest and nicest collection in the entire country. For eight months now, he has studied his life to write this book, and the life he has lived is just amazing. Now Howard is looking forward to sharing the stories of his life with all his readers in hopes to capture your imagination of what his life was really like.

The day will come for every outdoor enthusiast--the hunter, the fisherman, the trapper, and all others so inclined--when the ravages of time and life itself will speak the words, "That's it." There will be no reversal. What is done is done. Only the memories of days afield will remain.It is to these memories of mine and those of all outdoor adventurers that I dedicate this book to. For those who have not yet reached this end stage, I challenge you to prepare for that day by not only making new memories but, in some form or fashion, taking steps to preserve them. Photographs, daily logs, and other recording methods will help ensure that when it ends, the memories will not. You need not write it all down as I have done with this book. But by some method, I encourage you to prepare a record of some type that will suffice for your needs.Glory be to God for creating the fields and forests within which I found so much pleasure and comfort. Maybe sometime in the future afterlife, my loyal Mia and I will be reunited again, together, to walk the golden fields of grass, looking for the elusive pheasant.

This book is from the view of a coach, trainer, and an umpire. There is a lot of work to be done on how youth sports are handled. It seems we have lost the real reason we have our kids get involved--for the fun of it. The fun has been replaced with stress and the pressure to be perfect. This book has opinions and examples of what can be learned from sports. Maybe a parent or a coach see themselves in the book, good or bad. And maybe, one step at a time, we can start to change the culture in youth sports.It is a different world that the kids have to deal with today. Peer pressure, academic pressure, family pressure, and self-imposed pressure. The one place that should be a safe haven is whatever sport they choose to play and have fun. But, sometimes, adults take that away.The chapters in this book relate in some way to most all of us. "Why Stress Them Out" (mistakes do happen at all levels, and it is okay); "Be a Teacher First" (if you are a good teacher, coaching becomes easier); "This Is Their Time" (adults' actions should not take away from the kids' joy); "Learn from the Game" (respect, commitment, work ethic, passion, fair competition); "Help Them Succeed" (don't ask them to do what they are not ready for); "Let Them Be Their Best" (today's best might not be the same as yesterday's best, but it was their best today). Ability is what you are capable of; motivation determines what you do; attitude determines how you will do it.

The idea behind Cooking beyond Measure is to simplify cooking in a whole. Less ingredients lessen time and preparation. Ultimately, you'll have more time with family and loved ones. I absolutely enjoy being in my kitchen. My oldest granddaughter, Elle, says I spend most of the day in there. Honestly, I choose to be there. It is truly my sanctuary, my peace, and my space for time to think, create, and strategize what's next (whether it be laundry, homework, etc.).Cooking was a God-given gift to me; it truly came naturally since before I was a teenager. Good food, love, and fellowship is what we all need more of in this life. My advice is to always taste your food while preparing. If it doesn't taste good to you, it won't taste good to them!--Chef Sylvia

Through a series of thought-provoking book reviews and public policy essays, the author offers enduring insights concerning the nature of government and its relationship to the governed, particularly in America. A recurring theme of the book is an abiding respect for the system of government established by the Founding Fathers. As the author notes at one point,Properly understood, constitutional devices such as the Electoral College, rather than being arcane relics, are an integral part of our system of government. Other such devices include the diffusion of governmental power between the states and a limited central government, and the further diffusion of the latter power among coordinate, but separate, branches which serve as checks and balances upon each other.Commentaries on the Republic offers readers an elegantly written alternative to the ad hominem arguments that characterize contemporary politics.
