I want to say at the outset that if you’re reading this because you’re hoping I’ll give details about the Les Hughey situation, I’m not doing that. There are ongoing investigations that I will be part of, and we will let those run their course. I do, however, have words right now. Mostly words …
(I wrote this post in the time it takes to boil water for mac and cheese. This will make you think I am either brilliant or lazy. I don’t care. Enjoy.) I was a freshman in high school. I remember it like it just happened. (don’t worry, this isn’t actually a violent or abusive story. …
I THINK this is week 3. Is it week 3 or week 4? I really need to pull out a calendar and figure out what day it is. Having finished my first travel adventure, I have now settled into a somewhat predictable pattern on this sabbatical/gap year of mine. I actually do love routine, and …

Or sometimes it’s boredom, or maybe it’s rest, but the signs are all pointing to the …

I’ve been working since I was 18 years old and I am now 47. I’ll let you do the math. Oh, never mind, I’ll do it for you, that’s 29 years of working. In that time, I’ve loved many of my jobs. I mean the kind of love where you literally jump out of bed …
I currently have 3 young adult males living in my home. Yes, they are my sons, and yes, I love them dearly. When I do the math, I have been living with 3 teenagers AT THE SAME TIME for five years. And in a lot of ways it’s been a long five years. I have, …
