Two things happened today which need my commitment to written word. First, following my failure of social grace at work yesterday I spent several hours of reflection upon how to apologize to my fellow employee Felix. I had injected myself into a conversation he was having with another employee, about yet a third employee. It angered Felix and after sleeping on it and thinking about I came to the realization that I have been self-absorbed and rudely injected myself into Felix's conversation. Completely failing to recognize his private space. Failing to hold my opinions until a time and place where I could voice them to the other employee, to whom they pertained. I am ashamed and hoping to ask Felix formally for his forgiveness.
Secondly this comes upon this 8th day of April 2026 which I realize is just two weeks past what would have been the 50th anniversary of the first marriage I entered with Eileen McAfee-Kendig. The realization brought home to me that the blessing that was laid upon me at that time was a reality which I did not understand then, but boggled my mind, and confused me, to the point that Eileen understandably turned from me to Brian Kendig to be joined in union. The blessing of, what I can only call, the Holy Spirit which came down on me still remains and I recognize now that it works in me, and has blessed me with Christine, who is my heart and soul, and the example of her father Francis(Frank) who I now recognize had this blessing upon him and worked his entire life sharing it with all whom he met. Thank you Jesus. Come soon.

During his reign, the British-owned oil industry was nationalized by the prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, who had support from Iran's national parliament to do so; however, Mosaddegh was overthrown in the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, which was carried out by the Iranian military under the aegis of the United Kingdom and the United States. Subsequently, the Iranian government centralized power under the Shah and brought foreign oil companies back into the country's industry through the Consortium Agreement of 1954. In 1963 , Mohammad Reza Shah introduced the White Revolution, a seri...
