Flies! I hate ’em. They really know how to mess up a lunch at the park. Buzzing around, landing on my hamburger, gnawing on my fries, sipping on my straw, they drive me crazy! Where did all these flies come from anyway? I can only assume they’ve been breeding on the junk thrown in the
I was in an upscale shopping center. An out-door mall of sorts with parking in the middle and shops on each side. The parking lot was full of BMWs, Mercedes, and Lexuseseses. (I’m not sure how to pronounce, much less write the plural of “Lexus.”) I even spotted a Jaguar and a Porche. Clearly, not
The light was yellow. A big truck was in my rear view mirror. I had to decide fast. Slam on the brakes or go on through? I went on through. The light turned red. Was the camera watching? Will I receive a ticket in the mail? If I had stopped in time, would the truck
There were two bugs in our house this morning. Well, maybe even more than two, but two that I noticed. One was a dead butterfly someone had brought in and laid on the counter. The other was a live moth that most likely flew right on in, uninvited. Both were in the kitchen when I got

My dog stares at my while I eat. She has no manners, no pride, and no sense of shame. She unabashedly stares and begs, watching my every move, hoping I might, by some act of particular mercy or grace, offer her a small tidbit for her eternally empty stomach. It’s very annoying. Why does she
On the news this morning, I heard a story about a judge who had ruled that the people of California were in error when they voted that same-sex marriage was unlawful. I know this may not be typical content for my blog, but I can’t help but write a few thoughts about it. As I
Some Monday’s are particularly hard to get up and go to work. This one started off that way, along with a little guilt, compliments of a book I purchased yesterday. Now I know you can’t believe everything you read (this blog is proof of that) but sometimes I find it hard to ignore advice when it comes from a
There is a Chick-fil-A near where I work. I don’t know how much chicken they sell on a week-end, but during lunch hour on a week-day they sell a boat load. I have never seen a fast food restaurant run more efficiently. I went there for lunch on Friday. After enjoying a delicious “number 4,”
