![]() I don’t like to do things I’ve already done, so (in spite of the fact that this is a series, and does involve the same central characters throughout) each book is unique in structure, tone, approach, and theme. History, warfare, medicine, sex, violence, spirituality, honor, betrayal, vengeance, hope and despair, relationships, the building and destruction of families and societies, time travel, moral ambiguity, swords, herbs, horses, gambling (with cards, dice, and lives), voyages of daring, journeys of both body and soul… However, owing to the fact that I wrote the first book for practice, didn’t intend to show it to anyone, and therefore saw no reason to limit myself, they include… ![]() ![]() In essence, these novels are Big, Fat, Historical Fiction, à la James Clavell and James Michener. I did, and I did-and here we all are, still trying to figure out what the heck you call books that nobody can describe, but that fortunately most people seem to enjoy. ![]() ![]() Soon it's too late to come clean-or face the truth about what really happened back in Dubai.

So I made phone call to my dear friend and He told me that he was now the Commander of the New York Commandery Of the Templar Knights. So when I heard that he not only joined a worldwide organization but represented its leadership in the New York region I had to find out more. Many times he has been asked to join the Knights of Columbus or some other worthy organization, Deacon Ben certainly lends his support but always puts being a Deacon first. I have always know him to be a man with great focus especially when it come to the matters of spirituality. Deacon Ben LoCasto has been a friend for a while. ![]() ![]() Seuss-is one of the most beloved children's book authors of all time.

This saying is also connected or conflated with the answer to a question Socrates (according to Xenophon) or Chaerephon (according to Plato) is said to have posed to the Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi, in which the oracle stated something to the effect of "Socrates is the wisest person in Athens." Socrates, believing the oracle but also completely convinced that he knew nothing, was said to have concluded that nobody knew anything, and that he was only wiser than others because he was the only person who recognized his own ignorance. It is also sometimes called the Socratic paradox, although this name is often instead used to refer to other seemingly paradoxical claims made by Socrates in Plato's dialogues (most notably, Socratic intellectualism and the Socratic fallacy). " I know that I know nothing" is a saying derived from Plato's account of the Greek philosopher Socrates: "For I was conscious that I knew practically nothing." (Plato, Apology 22d, translated by Harold North Fowler, 1966). ![]() |
