Well, the onslaught is over for another year.
We always get anywhere from 200-400 trick-or-treaters every Halloween, and this year was no exception. It’s fun, though, because the little ones are so cute, and everyone watches them carefully to keep them safe.
There’s a guy at the end of our street who dresses up like Leatherface […]

Last weekend, former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Max McGee, one of the heroes of Super Bowl I, died after falling from the roof of his house. He was 75.
Hearing the news of this sad event prompted an interesting conversation between a couple of my friends:
Friend #1: What on earth?! Who […]

Having multiple pelvic fractures will certainly give you some time to think about life and its funny little twists.
For example, in spite of the fall, I really am much more careful now than I was when I was still looking for a good knockout drug for PMS relief.  Yet when I was younger, the only […]

I’m worried about Heidi.
Our “bologna dog” has lost enough weight that she’ll soon be a “Slim Jim dog.”  She’s zooming right past being a weiner.
She’s also developing skin lesions and carrying an obnoxious body odor.  We’ve bathed her repeatedly, but she still stinks.
The poor baby never complains; she just wants to be close.  So we […]

Well!  It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything, and I’m punishing myself for the lack of blogging time as soon as I figure out something appropriate.
No real reason for my staying away — yeah, I’ve been having internet access issues, but to be honest really, I just haven’t felt up to any witty repartee.
The weather […]

I must own the biggest washer and dryer in the world.
If you remember, I told you all a few days before the accident that my washer had finally died after about 20 years of faithful service.  Well, while I was in the hospital, they delivered the new one, only since it and the new matching […]

I owe you all an apology.
My internet connection has been messing with me lately, so much so that simply logging on to retrieve my email has become a battle of wills, so I haven’t been posting nearly as much as I would like. You can take that for what it’s worth in the apology department; […]

If you’re anything at all like me, you’re already thinking ahead to Christmas and those unique little gifts to slip into those stockings or cards.
I’ve stumbled across a company that produces affordable, customized dog tags. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. But these are beautiful.
The website is easy to navigate, and ordering couldn’t […]

The quartet is back in action.  We went to sing for the residents at an assisted living facility tonight.  It was wonderful.
There were a couple of rough spots, but overall, things went pretty well.  I know the residents enjoyed it.  Several of them came up to us afterward, and they were just beaming.  We plan […]

I’m convinced that God places angels among us.
You know how it is.  Wheever you’re having a bad day, the phone will ring, out of the blue, and you’ll hear from someone you’ve lost touch with.  Or a stranger will hold a door open.  Or you’ll get a genuine smile that you just can’t help but […]
