Love is a rainbow of beautiful feelings. I suppose the rainbow colors also define those feelings within a relationship such as blue for dreaming, red for jealousy, yellow for happiness, green for growth or envy, and violet for loving and intimacy. In 1956 Frank Sinatra took the baton, conducting a 60 piece orchestra playing music […]
Perspectives on New Beginnings
Over many years, I’ve had to start again, and again, and again. I’m sure others have also had to do this. When I was in my sixth year of marriage, I had to start new with an 18-month-old son and a newborn daughter, when my 33-year-old wife died. Certainly I was confronted with lots of […]
Perspectives on Time
I certainly feel the need for time to “cram,” to learn, to be able to use all the info-tech tools I have available, and to have time to sort out my own feelings of the events, when someone you know or love, dies. I remember a futurist’s adage about Paradigm Shifts –when a new idea, […]
THE TRESCOTT FILES: Perspectives on the Sound of Silence
The “sound of silence” might sound to some, in the same sense as the Procol Harem song, “Whiter Shade of Pale,” a play on words. But if you’ve ever been in a recording studio with no ventilation fans and experienced the hearing of nothing, then you know the sound of silence. Sometimes you can experience […]

Perspectives on Surveys
It seems everyone has to have a survey. Sometimes websites now have surveys one has to take if you want to see what they are selling. If not a survey, they have a list of things for you to fill out. This is not a “paywall” like some newspapers and publications have, but in a […]
Tools we use
Going home after a meeting, I found myself stopping to shop. While I looked at a lot of stuff, I gravitated towards the tools — small ones. You see I have a small box of small tools that I take with me on trips and often fix small things for family and friends. Actually the […]
Perspectives on words
Have you ever said to someone, “I’m going to have to have words with that [wife, brother, son, daughter, cousin, or husband] of mine?” Usually that means we need to communicate something to that person, and most likely in a manner that will not always be pleasant. We use words to communicate. We communicate to […]
Exceptional People
I was reading the other day about a person who seemed exceptional, probably because there was an article about her in my Alma Mater publication. She had lost her mom and dad in an auto accident when she was 11, yet went on to become a college professor and mentor to many students. I believe […]
