1. It has been four long months since my oldest son has been home. Mason got a summer job that landed him a permanent position in Seattle and he came home this weekend for a short visit. It’s impossible to hide my pride in him. All of my kids share my sense of humor, but [...]
As I watch the story unfold about the Arkansas student Kymberly Wimberly I find myself uneasy about the facts being reported and how they’re slowly coming out, but I’m watching with great interest. The best possible newsworthy article I have seen thus far is this one by Jeneba Ghatt of The Washington Times. The short [...]
It’s safe to say the when you have a major event occur in your life you recall the details with tenacious clarity. When my friends tell me stories of the important things in their lives they do so in just that manner. There isn’t always a lot of fuzziness to their memory unless it’s particularly [...]

Somewhere out there, in this vast universe of ours, there is a woman getting all the good karma possible. She must be stealing it from me because I can’t believe sometimes how it all just rains shits in my life. Something fantastic will happen and then it seems to stop, back up like a garbage [...]
My great niece who kept trying to take a nap in a roomful of people. She was folding back the rug and taking a couch pillow to get comfortable. Mallory was highly amused by this and Mason was just trying to get goofy in my photos. My laptop, the one issued to me by the [...]
