I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess… Observations 85 and 86 Once you transition what’s a spirit supposed to do?  Do they keep in touch with those of us still planted on this planet?

The unstoppable Van Morrison will celebrate his 79th birthday on August 31st. Over his long career, the trailblazing, reluctant Irish superstar forged his own style, which is a unique blend of rhythm and blues, American jazz, rock and roll and his native Celtic music. And he’s still going strong! In fact, he just released “Live at Orangefield,” a 2014 live performance at the secondary school he attended as a teenager, which debuted in the U.K. Top 10, and, starting in September, he’s set to tour parts of England and the U.S.

CNN anchor and chief political correspondent Dana Bash has written her first book, AMERICA'S DEADLIEST ELECTION: The Cautionary Tale of the Most Violent Election in American History with bestselling author David Fisher. AMERICA'S DEADLIEST ELECTION recounts the extraordinary election that led to hundreds of murders, warfare in the streets of New Orleans, two governors of Louisiana - and changed the course of politics in our country. The Election of 1872 was the most contentious in American history. After both parties complained of corruption, neither candidate would concede, two governors claimed office and chaos erupted.
