What a Surprise

What a Surprise

Football. The word alone gets me a little giddy. It gives me a touch of hope. I know I sound certifiable, and after six months of dealing with 2020 along with being held hostage by a cast on my left leg, I am not surprised that I have officially lost my marbles. Just...

I Remember

I Remember

I remember September 11, 2001 like it happened yesterday. I remember watching in disbelief as the plane made contact with the first tower. I remember wanting to pickup my boys and bring them home instead of letting them finish out their school day. I remember going to...

Seeking the Truth

Seeking the Truth

I would like to think that the strong reactions, the social media attacks, and the inability to simply listen to each other is rooted in fear. Aren't we all scared to a degree? I am. It's not weak to admit it. This whole year has been like a low budget horror film. We...

Willingness

Willingness

I suppose that everyone would describe 2020 as a shit show. It's like a reality show that we have come to expect the unexpected. In fact, we are no longer surprised at the insanity. My level of acceptance comes in a repetitive sentence that goes like this..."Oh, so...

A Thing

A Thing

A couple of days ago, I did a thing. I signed a contract with a publishing company. (Exhaling deeply). I have to admit that the whole thing has made me a little anxious. There is this whole mixed bag of feelings. It's excitement clouded with a bit of "what the fuck...

Hero-ish

Hero-ish

We have all encountered those people that brag about their spouse constantly on social media. They are always posting photos of them telling all of their "friends" all the amazing things that they do. We all know it is a facade. No one is that perfect. But, these...
