My quest to get through Amazon’s must-read books continues. And another one is in the books. The 1994 book, Breath, Eyes, Memory, by Edwidge Danticat is number 15 on Amazon’s lists. I had a real tough time with Bel Canto so I am hoping this one is a lot better. It...
Here we go again: the dumb stories of the week. And we had a couple of winners on Tuesday. I probably would have had them on Monday, but I took the day off and there isn’t much Twitter on days I’m off. I have better things to do. There...
Josie and I are fighting. I can’t say why but its pretty serious. So I’m alone tonight (probably will be for a while). I have several movies on Netflix, which I planned to watch with her, but we never got around to watching them. Well, her loss. I am...
Though I have not posted much about my son in the last couple of months, I have been struggling. I am running into that same confusion and sadness that I had in the first couple of months since his death. I am having nightmares and trouble sleeping. I am...

Ok, here we go. Good news: I woke up this morning and made my bed. Then I put away my clothes. Then I washed the dishes. Then I took a shower. Then I started this blog post. Hey, maybe that admiral guy and that world famous psychologist were on...
So I lied. I was going to continue my “Reflections” series (there are only three) but I am not done with part two and there is a new outrage on the Internet that needs to be looked at. So I thought this would be a fun one to To...
I should have said, “Oh, God,” but I did not want to take to Lord’s name in vain. I have a friend from the bible belt and he got bent that I said darn. I want him to read this so I decided to be right. The eight people...
I decided, today, to make a life change. Every morning I am going to get up and run before work. Why? Because I decided that, in the morning, before I do anything, I am going to do something for me and complete my daily task. Yes, I want to...
