I hope all of us can find new ways to be happy in 2009 that do not require that others be miserable.
I hope we all achieve at least one significant goal for the year, and use that as a platform for conitued success.
I hope we all do more to find common ground with our peers, [...]
I remember when I was in 5th grade, I would write wild stories of monsters destroying cities as part of creating writing assignments. I loved the fabrication of stories, and that passion was fed later in life by games that I played, whether at the tabletop or online. These days, I still have a deisre [...]
I dont know who you are, or why you happened to stumble upon my blog, but know this. I hope you are happy and healthy this holiday season. If I could comfort you in time of sorrow, I would. If I could lift your burden, I would. If I could help you find one positive [...]
OK, I know I’m 45, but what the heck. There’s things I want for Christmas, too. I fondly recall my dad’s words, “Want in one hand, $h!# in the other, see which one fills up faster”. Wanting never hurt anything, so long as what you wanted wasn’t seeing someone get hurt or denying someone their [...]

I really enjoy this pastime, but as I seek inspiration from the self-improvement websites, I notice a [...]

Wife and I decided to buy a new car. We’ve been thinking about it awhile, and we knew we had to get something with a third row seat. Our kids are getting big enough that the backseat of the Buick Park Avenue wasn’t big enough.
Today we made a deal on a new Ford Flex. AWD, [...]
