Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
I pulled up to a stop sign in my neighborhood a few weeks ago and noticed a teenager walking on the sidewalk. The boy looked sad. He had his head down and looked like he wanted to be somewhere else. I only happened to notice the boy because the local high school was letting out... Continue Reading →
My wife surprised me the other day by taking me out for dinner. What's the phrase? Burning the candle at both ends? Well, the past month of so, I’ve been the burning candle in so many different directions that I melted the whole darned candle. I hadn't really been taking care of myself and it... Continue Reading →
I guess there's always hope. I wrote last November on how the National Zoo in Washington, DC had to say an emotional farewell to three giant pandas, on loan from China.

When I was in high school, I came home after a disappointing track meet and complained to my mom that I was mad at God. I asked why he gave me short stumpy legs and no speed or endurance. I knew I wasn't cut out for baseball, basketball or football — I was too short... Continue Reading →
I retraced my steps from the parking garage back to my office. I looked on top of and behind my desk. I walked to the front desk and asked the security guard on duty if someone had dropped off a set of keys. He must have thought I had lost my mind the way I... Continue Reading →
My wife has become fascinated with a little bird friend that keeps visiting our backyard. The bird comes every morning and evening, perching itself on the far edge of the deck. The little guy peaks into our kitchen window and sings my wife a song. We’re by no means bird people, but my wife thinks... Continue Reading →
