Happy Thanksgiving! Embracing the change that has become the norm in my life, there is no turkey on our table today. I’m surprisingly OK with it. I thought a couple of months ago, when I started down this vegetarian road, that missing The Turkey would make me bitter and resentful. Here’s the thing though. Every [...]

Both of my parents birthdays were in the last few days. They are both gone now, but I still remember them on their days, especially my dad who was born on April Fools Day, eighty eight years ago. I have written about them before. They were amazing together. I miss their energy in my life. [...]

Forgive me for the rambling. I need to do some free writing to see where it takes me. There’s a lesson trying to come out and this is the only way I know how to do that… I got a call from an old friend last night. His name is Steve and he’s an artist, [...]

Last week we had some training at work that was out of the ordinary. Usually training is a new sales technique or a marketing ‘how to think out of the box’ kind of thing. This one was a little different. The technique is called DiSC. The premise is that everyone has all four aspects as [...]

Part of my passion for words and writing has come from something that I started doing when I was a kid. I noticed a long time ago, that not only are there regional accents in the US, but it’s not just pronounciation and annunciation, the use of the language is different too. I’ve been told [...]

Once upon a time, a young lad was born without a belly button. In its place was a golden screw. All the doctors told his mother that there was nothing they could do. Like it or not, he was stuck with it. All the years of growing up were real tough on him, as all [...]

I’ve hinted before that I’m putting together a “side business”. I have a regular 8-5 day job, and it’s somewhat fulfilling. I get to help people all day long and that makes me feel good, I’m one hell of a wing man and a lot of people depend on the services that I provide, but [...]

OK, I did it…. I upgraded my template to fix a few problems. I’m working to get all of my customization back, it will take another evening or two. Bear with me.

I found her site through Create A Connection. I’ve stolen a couple from her in the past. Being a meme afficianado, this one actually has quite a few [...]
