Coming Up for Air
My front passenger tire has a slow leak… or a bad valve… not sure. But every two days, I have to stop at a gas station to add air. I have a service appointment to get it fixed next week, but this has been… Continue Reading “Coming Up for Air”
WTF!? (just read it)
I’m pretty sure my most frequent phrase of 2023 thus far has been WTF!? January lasted FOREVER! I am Wholly Thankful it is February. My bank account was saying, “Where are The Funds?” after what seemed to be double the weeks in just the… Continue Reading “WTF!? (just read it)”

They grow from entirely dependent and cuddly babies, to sassy toddlers, to “me” and “mine”… Continue Reading “I Hope You Dance”
44 Revolutions

Unsung Heroes
COVID-19 sucks. Period. There are more elegant ways I could say such, but I’m going for brevity and clarity. Discussing it more than I already have over the past year would be like beating a dead horse, except this damn horse never dies. People… Continue Reading “Unsung Heroes”
