Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
Most people start new projects and resolutions in January. We all want to start the year off on the right foot. It seems I've pushed up the calendar and have made November my month to try new things. I wrote last week in my post, Pulling an all-nighter, about signing up for NaNoWriMo. My goal... Continue Reading →
When I was a newspaper reporter and wanted feedback, I would go straight to the source. I would stop by a local coffee shop and grab a coffee. To help stir the pot, so-to-speak, I would grab a few issues of that day's paper and leave them on the empty tables. I would watch patrons... Continue Reading →
I refilled my soda, stretched my arms and sat back down. The hour was late and my roommates were all asleep. The only sound I heard was the hum of the refrigerator compressor.

A gentle rustling came from the trees in our back yard. It could have been the wind or two squirrels playing at the base of the tree. I sat down on a chair on our deck and closed my eyes. A few hours early there was a general rumbling in our house. Two of our... Continue Reading →
We had a chance to spend a few days with our son last week at Arches National Park in Utah and the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. I could write a lengthy, flowery post on the trip, but my words would never explain it better than the pictures themselves. Beautiful, beautiful country. Yes, go... Continue Reading →
When I was kid, I wasn't big on staying overnight at my friend's houses. I scared easily in the night. I liked my own routine. Most important, I liked knowing where the bathroom was. The one house I didn’t mind staying over, though, was my friend Noah's house. I loved staying over there because he... Continue Reading →
