Thank-You, from a Stranger…
Dear Jen Lemen….
… we have never met, at least not in this lifetime, but we are less than 1 degree of separation away from each other. James and Stephanie first told me about you almost 3 years ago… and most recently, about the journey you are undertaking. The hairs rose on the back of [...]
If Dogs Could Talk…
I wonder what Alex, my beloved pup, would say if he could talk…
Named after a super hunky detective in my favorite book series by James Patterson, Alex, as most dogs, has his own little way of communicating with us live folk.
He has this little huffing thing he does — when he wants attention. He [...]
Murphy, Meet “K”
Murphy’s Law, for those who use it in conversation, but don’t actually understand what it means, is “an adage in western culture that broadly states that if anything can go wrong, it will.” ~ Wikipedia
While some may find it utterly tragic, I find it quite interesting. My dad always told me “if [...]
Prayer for Doug

CRPEDEM
It’s my license plate. CRPEDEM… or Carpe Diem.
Carpe diem is a phrase from a Latin poem by Horace. It is popularly translated as “seize the day”, although a more literal translation of carpe would be “harvest” (”harvest the day”), as in the harvesting of fruit.
At any rate - you get the point. My license plate [...]
Days Later
499 to be exact.
I know I know — what happened? I get all gung-ho on my brand new blog then I “go dark.” Let’s just say I had a seemingly incurable case of writers block. Plenty to say — but how to say it was way beyond me. So… 499 days later, I think I [...]
A Soldier Story
I moved to a new school my senior year in high school. Dad got a promotion and moved the family north. I got to pick the school my sister and I attended, since I was inconvenienced the most. I picked the school with the best basketball team, since that was my livelihood of choice at [...]
