I have a fairly full house now and have decided life happens. I had all these great plans for posting about events all week that surround Easter. What have I done? One post and lots of work. No need for a digital diet like Kristen at Motherese talked about. I just let life happen. Looking… Continue reading Life Happens
Have you ever heard those words coming out of your mouth? I am sure if you are the parent of a teenager, you probably have. I know I have. My biggest problem with those words is when it comes to something new in life – well, new relatively speaking. I want my children to do… Continue reading Do As I Say, Not As I Do
I have written about collegiate sports on many occasions. This particular occasion comes to you via an ad that the NCAA is running during the current basketball tournament. I have to write about something having to do with the Madness and my bracket is not the thing as it is dismal after two days of… Continue reading NCAA Sports
I know I should not complain. My children, and myself to some extent, are lucky. Their father works for the state and he is required to carry health insurance on them. State plans, while not cheap, are very good as far as coverage. Yet, I have a love-hate relationship with health insurance. Here is my… Continue reading A Love-Hate Relationship

First concern is that schools… Continue reading Science Geek

This is about actual, physical pain. Earlier this week, my left hip started to hurt just a little on a run. It… Continue reading Pain
I have used Twitter during minor breaking news stories and major one previously but today, the ease of use and how much information is available hit home again. I was on Twitter as breaking news was happening 250 miles away at the University at Buffalo. I follow several people from the Buffalo area on Twitter… Continue reading Twitter and Breaking News
I bought a new digital camera a bit ago. I am still trying to get use to all the features it has and those it may not have, like video. In this attempt, I am going to post some photos from my first week with the camera. This photos are posted in response to Katye’s… Continue reading Photos
Between Kelly Diels‘s Operation Secret Valentine, Momalom‘s Love It Up Challenge, a post on How to Write a Love List at Em and Lo‘s and Big Little Wolf‘s suggestions for celebrating V Day on a budget, I am again thinking about love and today about my life. So, here is my love list to my… Continue reading A Love List to My Life
