Staying Accountable
I'm not quite in a writing mood today. I'm not perfect. I disappoint people. I hate when I do that. Sometimes I take things the wrong way or read a signal wrong. I hear something and it reminds me of my past life and I react to it that way, which is wrong. I am … Continue reading Staying Accountable
Speaking to A Stone
This blog will start deep - but I promise a funny story at the end... I recently read a blog from a friend in Scotland. She is currently visiting with her dad and they took a trip to the local cemetery to visit her mom/his wife, who is buried there. She spoke of how her … Continue reading Speaking to A Stone
A Plumber I Am Not
Friday night I was at work and I got a text from my wife. It went something like this: Sam: So there's a leak in the shower. Me: It's probably the shower head. That's an easy fix. I'll look at it when I get home. Sam: It's not the shower head, it is leaking by … Continue reading A Plumber I Am Not
Story of America Cards
While surfing Facebook the other day one of the 80's pages I follow posted this set of animal cards: As soon as I saw them I remembered that I had a set similar to these that were all about history and historical events, people, and more. I looked up "history cards" and the real name … Continue reading Story of America Cards

Did everyone get a chance to show and tell about something? Was it alphabetical by last … Continue reading What did you bring to show us?

In case you missed it, here is the Goodreads "tease" about the book: Here is the summary from Goodreads: Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice.It seems like any other day. You wake up, pour a cup of coffee, … Continue reading Thoughts on The Measure
“Can We Pray?”
It was unexpected, and it caught me off guard. It was also exactly what I needed. A high school friend reached out to me on Facebook earlier today. She was just checking in as it had been a bit since we chatted. Rather than message her back, I called her on my way to work. … Continue reading “Can We Pray?”
Friday Photo Flashback
This is a "feature" I started a couple weeks ago with a Daily Writing Prompt. It's been fun to find a photo to write about each week. This week, I went looking through the "photo files" and found this gem: Pictured in the photo from left to right: me, my brother, and my dad. I … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Hello, Louie!
The photo above may be a bit deceiving, in that this blog is NOT about the hit song by the Kingsmen. It is also not about other famous Louies (or Louis) like comedians: Louie Anderson Louis CK Or trumpet players: Louis Armstrong Louis Prima Or his animated alter ego: King Louie Or fictional TV characters … Continue reading Hello, Louie!
