When I was a teenager, I remember this ad campaign for some kind of diet aid. The scene for the commercial was a secretary typing at her desk, when her intercom sounded. The intercom announced, “Betty, Betty …This is the doughnut in the next room calling. I’m ready for you to come eat me now. […]
Write What You Know
They say to write what you know. (Who are they BTW?) I don’t know an abundance of stuff. I’m better at tiny little tidbits of useless information. I love to read, and I pick up little bits of trivia that no one cares about, and then I recite it when the subjects come up, if […]
He Knows Your Name
She called me by name. My first grade teacher called me by name and told me a funny memory that she had of me from first grade… from 1981. No croutons. Extra ranch on the side. The waitress at my favorite restaurant doesn’t even ask. She just brings it to me the way I like […]
I Don’t Want to Grow Up
At the time I am writing this blog, the two year anniversary of my Mother’s graduation to heaven is only a few days away. Lately, I have been missing those who have gone on before me. My mind drifts to memories of lazy mornings with my Grandmother, Aunt Peggy and Momma sitting around the dining […]

A Clean So Powerful
All of us have seen those adds for laundry detergent or all-purpose cleaning spray or some newly imagined delivery system for dish soap that claim to be so powerful at cleaning, that dirt just flees as soon as it is applied. The close-up camera angles show the little bubbles of dirty grease repelled, as if […]
BEWARE OF INVISIBLE COWS
There’s a sign near the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii that reads “BEWARE OF INVISIBLE COWS”. No joke. And they couldn’t be more serious. This very tall mountain is filled with open cattle ranges. Sometimes at night or even during the day when the fog is thick, which is very common at that elevation, dark […]
Good VS Evil
Throughout history people have questioned and theorized the essence of good vs. evil. These ideas are shown in many religions throughout the centuries and manifested in our moral compasses. We are all aware of the christian stance on good vs. evil; how God is perfect and good and Satan is cruel and evil. But in […]
