I had the silliest thought this morning. I woke up, sleepily made my coffee, and then made my son’s breakfast and lunch. As I went through my daily morning routine, a thought kept rinjing through my mind. And, that was that I’m turning green. I quickly wrote it […]
I am a very nostalgic person. I like holding onto mementos. I have held onto a small box for over 20 years that holds my high school facebook. It was literally a small book that had our face photos so that we would know who was who. I […]
Hi there. Let me state something upfront. If you this bit was a political one, you are mistaken. That is not what I do here. No. This is about one of my favorite topics. My dog. And, one of his very quirky behaviors. And, he is a fairly […]

I have never really taken the easy road. The easy life. I have dared to dream and have gone after it. Whatever “it” has been. It is a good thing to be tough and to fight a good fight. Sometimes you just have to do so. But […]
