My grandmother was old the entire time I knew her. Yours probably too. But mine was infected with a strange form of kleptomania that only attacked at certain times. It attacked when she ate out at restaurants. Which meant mainly on the birthdays of her loved ones. She did not steal food. Or money. Or…

Mind, Body, Soul
Thanks so much to all of you that have been reading my weekly posts; I really appreciate the support. One of the questions that I’ve been getting recently is, “why are you writing?” Or more specifically, “why are you writing, now?” First, I’m writing because I enjoy it. Second, and more importantly, I’m writing because…
Ghost In The Graveyard
Have you ever teetered on the edge of starting something new? Of stepping out of your comfort zone to try something that there was a good likelihood you would fail at? I was spending time pondering these thoughts recently when the game of ghosts in the graveyard came to mind. I wasn’t sure why at…
9 Signs You Are A Good Youth Sport Parent

In the spring of 1994 I was a senior in high school, looking forward to graduating and moving on to play college football. And maybe even attend some classes. I had zero interest in politics so when the news of Richard Nixon passing away came around I was none too interested. All I knew of…
Nike Before Nike
I felt a little like the girl from “The Blair Witch Project” as I stepped over the chain and through the concrete barricade into the abyss. Or maybe one of those guys from a zombie apocalypse movie. Nothing to be seen but dirt and weeds and very tall (but oddly skinny) trees. I had expected…
Not That Neville
Have you ever visited a historical site that you felt like you’d seen enough pictures and videos of that it wouldn’t be that big of a deal? Then you get there and it is completely different than you were expecting? Well I just had that experience too, with Big Ben, Parliament, and Westminster Abbey in…
