• Has Anybody Seen My Old Friend Martin?

    We live in a world of rich diversity. I’ve got friends from a variety of backgrounds, ethnicities, experiences and cultures. What I love about all of my friends is that they’re different from me. If I spent time with just me for long, I’d get bored and lonely. My personal dysfunctions would escalate dramatically. If…

• To TP Or Not To TP; That Is The Question

  Who knew a simple roll of toilet paper could provide so much fun? John and I were watching the grandkids a few days back, and it was one of those times where everyone was a little grumpy. We’d mowed the yard. They’d played soccer. Had been in a car and driven enough miles around central…
