Pieces of my mind. That was the name of my original blog where I posted just that…pieces of my mind…thoughts that I had about different things. That blog has gone its way, replaced eventually by this generic Steve949.com, Facebook, and Instagram.
Sometimes I still have pieces of my mind that I want to share/save and until Facebook supports hashtags this is a much better place for archiving.
So here are the pieces of my mind for this Independence Day weekend (so far)
“A weak man has doubts before a decision. A strong man has them afterwards.”

G.K. Chesterton

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta
I hope to travel again soon. I miss being somewhere other than here. So many places I want to see, and the days are ticking by…
