• Best. Christmas. Ever.

  There are no stockings hung by the chimney with care–we’ve no chimney or fireplace. We make it tough on Santa. The children aren’t nestled anywhere. The grands had a sleepover Christmas Eve, and they ate enough sugar to rocket them into the new year. The only visions any of them have is of electronics. Hang…

• Nothing New With Deja Vu

  I’d done this before. Many times. Some things never change. Soccer tournaments in another city. A weekend in a hotel filled with players in muddy cleats and soccer parents wearing team shirts. Needing to be at the field by 7 a.m.–too early for Saturday morning. Hotel coffee and cold eggs. Heat and humidity compounded by…

• If The Time Is Right, Why Wait?

  I’ve found friends in the oddest places. Some you expect. When you work with a team, you hope to become close so working together becomes safe and effective. You hope to engage well with neighbors because the community where you live is important. Besides, what happens when you need that cup of sugar or one egg?…
