I will be 59-years old this year. Let me restate that…I will be in my last year prior to turning 60 this year. I’m unsure how that happened. It seems like only ten years ago that I was in high school. Somehow in that ten years, I got married, had three kids, got divorced, was…

We went to Disneyland last month. Actually, we went to Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm on a crazy two-day excursion with six adults, two teenagers, and our two grandchildren, one of which was only two months old. I realize that this could now turn into a running commentary asking “who takes an infant to Disneyland…
Read MoreIt’s almost Christmas. This year has passed much more quickly than 2020, which seemed to drag along in spite of continual surprises straight from a Zombie Apocolypse movie – (does anyone remember the Murder Hornets?) Being so close to December, we decided to start the festivities early with our Grandson. I actually don’t remember building…

Read MoreI lost forty pounds last year. I needed to, desperately, since managing my weight becomes an all consuming activity as soon as I hit size 14. At size 16, I will have crossed the line to obsessive/compulsive behavior, buying every workout program that promises results and thinking about my weight on a minute-by-minute basis. It’s…
Read MoreHere we are in the back-half of 2020…and the year continues to bring more unrest. It’s been interesting to watch the varying responses to our current social crisis. Some people think it’s a crisis because the issue of racial inequality has never been dealt with. Some people think it’s a crisis because there is rioting…
Read MoreHey – we are almost heading into the back half of 2020, otherwise known as Jumanji – Level 6. It’s been a year already…and by that, I mean, we have had enough experiences this year to fill several years worth of journals, scrapbooks and Facebook pages. We are still dealing with the aftermath, or is…
Read MoreI don’t know about you but I always try to find little life lessons in every pandemic that I face. Ok – I’ve only faced one, but regardless, I believe that every situation can provide a plethora of life lessons. Here are the top things that I have learned over the last month while dealing…
Read MoreIn my last post, I gave ideas of ten things that you can do while sheltering-in-place. I forgot to mention another one…rewriting Children’s Ministry songs to fit the current crisis. Why do I do this? I have no idea. It all stared with a “He’s Got the Whole World” challenge which in all honesty, I…
