Crap!
Now that I just posted that rail on Starbucks music I have to eat a little crow. Just now, I actually got up, walked over to the barista and asked what song was playing. To my credit, it was more than partly out of a maddening frustration of having heard it before and almost [...]

Just three and a half short years ago I was sitting in a similar puffy chair in Detroit writing letters of love to a [...]

I fell out of the RV yesterday. Fortunately, it was parked and not in motion in the time. I blame my slippery sandals and an awkward angle. No major damage for such a dramatic fall, just a stiff left ankle and a right sore knee. My sunglasses flew twenty feet, and I missed the side [...]

To all of my journal friends….
Please help.
