M2 has gone live!

That’s what he told me to write. The truth is, M2 spent a couple days at my office a week or so ago and for those who don’t know I work with a bunch of internet gurus. So after spending a couple days and getting some pointers (he is a very quick study), he finally [...]

Tackling the Garage

Some say getting started is the toughest part of the job. It isn’t. The job is the toughest part of the job. But you gotta start somewhere and something’s gotta get you going. This time, for me, it was a good little deed that turned out to be a lot bigger than I originally thought.
I [...]

The Replacement

I thought I was having a hot flash today. It made me pretty happy. You understand if you know how cold I usually am. Turns out I was wearing a jacket over layered shirts. In July. Not a hot flash, just poor clothing choices. This makes no sense now, but will in a minute.
As you know, once [...]

May I Have the Envelope, Please

Busted

We’ve all seen the award shows. Overdressed, overpaid people sitting trying to look nonchallant, as if they don’t care if their name is called or not, because after all they are actors so they should be able to act either “Oh, I’m so surprised I got it. I never expected this,” or “Oh, of course [...]

Pickin’ and Grinnin’

mom’s garden

For a few blessed years, Larry and I had the great priviledge of mom and dad living with us. First, it was just for the summers when they were full time RV’ers, then when Dad’s health ended that journey, they settled in few a while. Dad had a way of always finding a project that needed [...]

Beer and Bibles

Some people were created to live inside “the box”. They are comfortable there. Or maybe not really comfortable but being famiiar with “the box”, not having to deal with things outside “the box”, not having to know about what’s outside “the box” is where they choose to be. They feel a kindred spirit with the three “see no-hear [...]

Remembering Diana

Diana was just in her forties when she left this world. But she touched more lives in that short time than many who are given twice that much. Her life was committed to making the lives of others better. A day didn’t go by that she wasn’t doing something for someone. She left two boys who were her world. [...]

M2, Where are you?

I talked to Erin (really, we were texting back and forth)  yesterday to see what she was up to back in good ol’ 116 degree Phoenix. Not surprising at all, she and Mike are living the big league dream: doing laundry, making grocery lists, taking naps. Knowing how time consuming this is, you can clearly [...]

See ya next time, Sweetie

I hate detours. When I am going somewhere, I want to get from point A to B without having to rabbit trail through parts unknown, parts that I never knew existed or didn’t care existed, and certainly had know desire to explore because where I am headed at the moment is at the front of my [...]

Intelligent Design vs Evolution

Roundabouts

No, not what you’re thinking. This is not a dissertation on the argument of whether or not man was created from dirt on the sixth day or if the forces of the universe came together with a big bang, and voila! over unfathomable amounts of incomprehensible time, life erupted, mutated, evolved, transformed, split, multiplied, and over [...]
