Common Sense: The Key to Saving Our RepublicThe rise of the Progressive Movement, which has taken hold under the Democratic banner, is one that not only finds both our country and its system of government lacking but is attempting to transform America from a Capitalistic nation, that has prospered for centuries, into a nation that is more dependent on government and less freedom oriented. In order to prevent the reimagining of America, we first must bring the Progressive Movement into the light and expose their beliefs for all to see. This is not the Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy or even Bill Clinton, for that matter. We can no longer remain the silent majority. We need to raise our voices for all to hear and stop the changing of America, once and for all, before this movement succeeds in altering our DNA from a nation founded on individual rights and freedoms into a nation of handouts and entitlements, depending on others to get by. When you remove our desire to succeed, you end up with a nation that no longer has the will to excel.

When my father passed away, he left behind some old newspaper clippings. One was a poem that was printed in 1948 in the Brownsville Herald. It was a version of "e;T'was The Night Before Christmas"e; in Tex-Mex lingo. In South Texas, a great majority of Texans are of Mexican descent and most are also bilingual. Mixing both English and Spanish words in their conversations is very common. We call it Tex-Mex. When I saw the poem in the clipping 74 years later, I decided to try my spin at it. My project evolved into a much longer and very humorous poem with illustrations. The ending where the wife tells her hubby to "e;Tocame el Wiwicho"e; is hilarious. In Spanish, "e;tocame"e; can mean to touch or it can also mean to play, like a musical instrument. What is El Wiwicho? Well, that's something you'll figure out when you read the poem.

Life, death, judgment and eternity are certainties that all human beings will face. In a humanistic world it is an unfortunate truth that many humans ignore all those certainties, except life. When ignoring those certainties, humans are also prone to focus on that which brings success in life but not death, judgment or eternity. Because our life on earth determines our place in eternity, it seems that wisdom would dictate a life that focuses on obtaining an eternal life of bliss. As long ago as the time the Old Testament was written we were told that fear of God is the foundation of wisdom. We are foolish when we think otherwise. We are also sinners when we believe otherwise. It is the wise human who understands that it is God who needs to be the focus of our life. When God is the focus of our life, we need not fear our place in eternity.

Wisdom HighwayThe wisdoms that have been persistently cast on the roads of our lives have not always made going through those roads easy and fast as it was hoped by those who received these wisdoms out of the audience; thus, there is no purpose for my words in this book more sublime than to make life's journey of one easier and more comfortable.

Years after his baseball career was derailed by a violent accident, our national pastime reappeared in his life - and has remained to this day. What follows is his extraordinary journey - baseball has taken him on a ride from the little leagues to the major leagues, and all stops in between. Jan's memoir, Once Upon a Time in Baseball: My Pastime Summers, is a nostalgic look back at the golden age of baseball through the eyes of a young boy growing up in the 1950s, to a man in his fifties throwing batting practice for the newest entry in MLB, the 1993 Colorado Rockies. The book starts on the playground when, as a passionate fan, Jan was learning to play the game, and trading baseball cards, including the time he literally gave away one of the most valuable cards of all time. In high school, college and semi-pro, he discovered his talent as a pitcher, throwing a number of no-hitters. His dream was coming true - in the game he loved so much, and was on track for what he hoped would be a career in the big leagues. Then the summer following his sophomore year in college he was almost killed in a car wreck which ended his major-league dreams, or so he thought. Decades later he found himself back on the hill, throwing batting practice for the Rockies for six years, including throwing at Dodger Stadium and Wrigley Field, and culminating in the honor of presenting his book, Legacy of a Monarch - an American Journey, the biography of an all-star shortstop for the Kansas City Monarchs, at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown in 2006. Once Upon a Time in Baseball is a look back at the glory days of baseball, when it was sports king in America. Everyone who lived and loved the game back then will find this story brings back longing memories of days gone by.
