Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
I had to run last week to my local Department of Motor Vehicle office for a new driver's license. I had to get a new photo taken. The little smiley face that I drew haphazardly on a piece of paper wasn't going to work should I get pulled over by the state police. The errand... Continue Reading →
In my dream, the ocean waves crash to the shore, sending the white, wispy surf up to our ankles. The sun has come up in the horizon and made it's grand entrance. Several small sandpipers near us greet the day by lining up up on the sand. They seem to be playing chicken with one... Continue Reading →
I stalk around my room, like a mad scientist, talking and grunting to myself in a gibberish that's hard for anyone else to understand. I'm surrounded by a lab full of beakers and various half-started projects. When I sit down at my laptop, I type out two or three sentences, read what I've written and... Continue Reading →
We come out of turn three and I race to the inside, slipping in between car #51 and #9. I imagine the anger that the driver of car #51 must be spewing towards me. I expect that he's raising his fist in fury at me. We've been trading spots all night, racing around the track... Continue Reading →

Last April, I noticed several other bloggers, including Kari from A Grace Full of Life, write about a few of their favorite things — 100 of them to be exact — and decided to come up with my own list. I had such a good time the first time, I figured it'd be fun to... Continue Reading →
If you had one more day with a friend, how would you spend it? Go on a road trip? Stop in at the local coffee shop and catch-up on the latest news? Go to a game or shopping together? Business Icon and Berkshire Hathaway Chairman & CEO Warren Buffet knows what he would do. At... Continue Reading →
Late in the 1985 movie Back to the Future, Christopher Lloyd's character Dr. Emmett Brown tells Marty that things have changed. "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads." I thought of that scene recently when fellow blogger Vicki Atkinson wrote about her love of the ellipsis. I too like the ellipsis, but I have my... Continue Reading →
