I was attacked by my Vision Board…or actually, the vision board may have been a passive participant and the bulletin board was the main culprit…it’s hard to tell. I’m thinking that the Vision Board was the instigator since my behavior while sitting next to my Vision Board was less than ‘visionary’. It was more like…counter-productive…since…
Read MoreSundays are made for relaxing and sometimes…for writing poetry. I’ve written poetry since I was a child. This is the earliest poem that I can remember writing (or since my memory is questionable, maybe I swiped it from another author…who knows?)

I’ve had the reputation of being a workaholic for most of my life. Even when I was in high school, I worked one job during the week and another on the weekend. Seeing that my father is 83 and still working, I believe there’s a genetic component…and I haven’t found a pill to cure it…

I celebrated my fifty-fifth birthday yesterday. I am five years past qualifying for an AARP card and just moved into getting 10% off at Ross every Tuesday. Life is good…especially on Tuesdays. In five years, Ben, Jerry, and Mrs. Fields get on board. This birthday celebration may be my all-time favorite…not because I received some…
Read MoreI did a “30 poems in 30 days” group a while ago and it reminded me how much I enjoy poetry. Since then, I have never gotten back to writing poems daily but do write them when the mood strikes. Here are some of the poems from the last few months. I was going to…

I don’t think it is possible to be a parent and not spend some sleepless nights at some point, worrying about your kids. You worry about SIDs when they are infants. You worry about injuries when they are toddlers. You worry about school and relationships during the preteens. You worry about driving and drugs during…
