I've been hearing a lot of negatives about 2016. You know what, it's easy to sit back and think about the negative things that have happened in the past year. Something called Zika achieved outbreak status. The United States went through one of the most negative presidential elections in its 240 year history, the ramifications … Continue reading 2016 in Review

The Hazards of Having a Hippopotamus for Christmas
I'm sure by now most of you have heard the Christmas classic "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas." I say classic because the song is nearly 60 years old. I don't call it a classic because I enjoy hearing it year after year. I find it to be obnoxious. And irritating. And extremely catchy. Which … Continue reading The Hazards of Having a Hippopotamus for Christmas
A Social Media Rant
Maybe it's something in the water. Over the last few days, I've been reading some pretty good rants on several blogs I follow. There's nothing wrong with a good rant every now and then.

Hopes, Dreams, and Plans
It's funny... the things we choose to look back on. Some of those things, we look back on not because of choice, but because of coincidence.

Big Head! Big Head! Big Head!
No, I'm not talking about my ego. I have a fairly large cranium. I know there are people out there with bigger heads. I've seen people out there with bigger heads.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm dying. I know that this news may come as a shock to many of you. It's really sad. I may have as few as 50 or 60 years left. The truth is, I suffer from a degenerative condition that so many people deal with every day. It's called aging. It's a … Continue reading Degenerative
Complimentary
I'm never really sure how to take compliments. I'm really quiet and reserved. While I like to pretend that I enjoy being in the spotlight from time to time, I really don't like to receive attention when I do something right or do the right thing. To me, it just seems that doing what's asked … Continue reading Complimentary
How To Be Perpetually Early
The other night, I found myself involved in a conversation debating the merits of showing up early or late to any given event. I happened to mention that I have this tendency to arrive perpetually early to just about everything. A friend of mine said that she would like to have that problem. I'm here … Continue reading How To Be Perpetually Early
