Often times I find myself entering into conversations that are fueled by a continuous string of thoughts  and after the fact, as I relive the highlights,  I find myself wondering if the subject originally presented had anything to do with the direction things headed when all those thoughts and memories came running up to the…

Back when I was in my early 20’s I would venture to say I tried at least 5 different hair colors.  I got pretty good at the process but the day I chose to perfect “Auburn” is the day I said goodbye to hair color for 26 years.   It’s a rather sad story as…

When you go from living in a tiny little town to a big city there are all sorts of things you begin to notice.  What you are about to read are accounts of my frustrations as far as careless people and cars and parking lots go and I’m just a bit upset! Frustration Number 1:…

So far this morning I’ve managed to navigate from the bathroom…ouch, ouch, ouch, to the kitchen…ouch….ouch, and from the kitchen…ouch, to the office and here I sit.  I don’t “love” to complain but I’m not going to rule out “liking” it, at least once in awhile.  I’m not a huge fan of doctors so I…

I’m not sure what it is about me and mowers but last night the ornery bugger decided it didn’t want to mow the front yard.  I always start by trimming and then I mow in back before moving to the front.   I always shut the mower off when I push it across the driveway…

Don and I don’t consume enormous amounts of adult beverages but on occasion we do find ourselves enjoying a few brews and I’ve learned over a rather lengthy amount of time that alcohol has a tendency to give my brain filters the night off.  Most often, the result of my filter-less brain situation is pretty…

Several years ago, I was hired by a local hotel to work the night shift.  I have always been a “night person” so I thought this job would work out great.  It was sort of weird going to bed at 8 am when my shift ended but my body would usually allow me to sleep…
