Suitable for Everyday Use
After yet another failed 6 month long relationship my thirtysomething neice was recently bemoaning her fate and crying about her inability to find "true love." She complains that it always starts out with a wonderful, joyful, spectacular set of fireworks...
Happy New Year!
This is the time of year many of us begin to reflect on the passing year, or perhaps on our passing lives. If we are fortunate The Ghost of Christmas Past kindly filters our memories to remove any discord that may have existed in our childhood, leaving...
"I don't want my last breath to be a sigh of relief"
My eldest son is a brilliant young man. He has an IQ of 140, which I believe is above average. He is an amazingly gifted artist and poet (the image on this blog was drawn by him). Many years ago he became addicted to heroin. Since birds of a feather...

Windmill Theory
When I was a kid growing up in a remote area in central Arizona my family relied on a windmill for all our water (no electric pump). Sometimes the wind didn't blow and we knew that without water we would all die. So you may think we only had two choices...
Make a New Plan, Stan
I lost my job in December 2010. After accepting a few really low paying, REALLY BORING jobs I decided to do something I have always wanted to do. I started my own company. I have worked hard and loved every minute of it. All systems are in place and ...
Bye Bye
You always think you will ready for the day a child leaves you. It starts when they take their first steps and learn to wave "bye bye." OK, she is not a child. She is a 29 year old woman who has been living on her own since she was 19. By "on her own...
