Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
The phrase “sly as a fox” came about because foxes are known for their cleverness and cunning. You have "crazy like a fox." In the 70s, people talked about “foxy ladies.” You hear folks talk a lot now about “the fox guarding the henhouse." Hmm, I can think of a few examples. I betcha you... Continue Reading →
There are days when you run across something that mesmerizes you. It hits you with such power and force that you’re stopped where you are.

I’m starting to believe in ghosts. In fact, I think I have proof that we have one in our house. Oh, it's friendly enough, but still a ghost. Our long time family pet, Nittany, died in February. In the last week alone, my wife has twice found wisps of wavy white hair. Nittany was a Lhasa-Apsa... Continue Reading →

The Amazon truck pulled up to my house and the driver walked down the driveway. I watched him from my desk, trying to remember what we bought. Was it the school supplies my wife bought for her classroom? Or perhaps the new light I needed for my desk? Before I could figure it out, Nittany... Continue Reading →
I can only hear bits and pieces, but I hear my wife's voice trailing in the kitchen. I'm in my office on the second floor. I hear a word or two, but then her voice gets garbled and is out of hearing range. I'm wracking my brain: "Who in the heck is she talking to?"... Continue Reading →
