Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Linda G. Hill has given me the ideal prompt for her fun Stream of Consciousness Saturday blog thingie. I am going to let the voices visit the bar with my buddy and Cheryl, as we deal with: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘door.’ Write about a door you walked through this...

I was out of town this weekend and the early part of this week. On the flight home, I pecked out a nice post about the architectural walking tour I took in Chicago. I thought that would be a nice piece to follow yesterday’s post about the concert the night before I left on that... Continue Reading →
Here we are on another Monday when I’m looking at my sixth post in six days. I added a post on Friday for the Cherished Blogfest, and I added a very short one yesterday, to fix a mistake I made with the Cherished Blogfest. On top of that, we had a busy long weekend. I’m... Continue Reading →

If we were having a beer, we would both notice the new Specials Menu on the bar, but you would be less worried than me. “I think this will be OK. A little change is good now and then.” “I won’t be convinced until I see the full menu. There’s too much at stake here.”... Continue Reading →
Earlier this week, I stumbled across a blog from one of my periodic blog buddies. I don’t mean that sometimes we are buds and sometimes not, but she writes on a somewhat irregular schedule. Anyway, Jess posted a 10-minuted SoC writing exercise and in my comment, I suggested that she might like to try the... Continue Reading →
Every morning that I get stuck with the duty have the privilege of taking Maddie out to make morning rounds, when we return to the porch I will tell her: “we have to wipe those feets.” Yes, Microsoft, I understand that “feet” is the plural of foot, but Maddie has four feet so I don’t...
