I love Christmas. Unabashedly. I love this day in part because I get to see joy on the faces of others. And, that in turn warms my stomach and makes my heart beat with joy. Right now my son is playing his new harmonica nonstop. Luckily, I have […]
‘Tis the season to be jolly. I love this time of the year. Perhaps even more than my son. Perhaps. Not sure about that. I want him to experience the joy of receiving gifts small and large. I want him to experience the joy of singing Christmas songs […]

Last weekend I woke up a bit sleepy and groggy. Which is to be expected. That’s what the weekend is supposed to be feel like. Check! I woke up around 6:00am or so and grabbed my phone. How very 2019! I immediately went on Twitter as that is […]
