After an evening hosting the family, I had a chance to reflect. I also spent the morning supporting some other family commitments as I reflected upon how the Quarter has been so far and the roadmap ahead for the balance of The Week-End.
The "Daily Outsider" of which this blog serves as its' flagship is "Labor of Love" which I look forward to continuing and "hopefully" taking to the next level. The exact "Next Level" is . As part of this project, the focus will be on an emerging world and present a 'clearing house' of thinking and emerging thought. This is not envisioned to be another Project Syndicate, Truthout, Alternet or the Daily Caller. It rather will assess it all and reflect a very crucial, centrist and realistic assessment of the World while being an advocate. In addition, the other site ("Vision", "South County Matters") will be more future focused.
I have also been getting to know my iphone 4. I set up iCloud and have put me a number of very interesting Apps. I also just got an "invite" to release contributions to MEDIUM. I went ahead and released it earlier to reflect upon A summer of Service as I saw my Son grow ever more:

A Summer of Service
Will it make a difference?
I was glad to see “Medium” Come online—finally!!
For me, the summer was nothing per se different than other periods. Except that it has been a bit “Hotter” than usual. But, being busy and engaged mitigated it, that’s for sure.
For me, it has been a summer of service. I served as a “Angel Pantry” in my local Catholic Church’s Food Pantry. For an hour and forty five minutes every other week, I saw families from all walks of life coming down to be able to support themselves. I would have not recognized them had I seen them in the street. It has also been a joy to have my Son join me during the summer months and see him and his enthusiasim.
Scouting has taught me to do a “Good Turn Daily”. Sometimes, I view myself as “Salmon” that swims against the tide. But the “Salmon” reminds us all that we have to be persistent and resolve to be the change we want to see in the World. The rewards may not be tangible—but they are there. I have felt it.
