After 2+ years of COVID isolation, I’m going to have three visitors from far-flung places in the near future. Soooo looking forward to them! I have had a single visit from afar in over two years, and that was only for part of one day when Roger D. Noriega and his daughter flew up […]

If you’re like me, you’ve had a series of friends. Looking back, I’ve discovered that friends have been with me for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime. And some of my finest friends who are lifetime friends haven’t been the ones I hung out with most, which surprises me. That

“Two men looked out through prison bars. One man saw dirt, the other, stars.” There is a series of faux “National Parks Posters” on Facebook based on one-star reviews left by visitors to those various magnificent places. I think the reviewers were telegraphing themselves and their limited viewpoints (their “what’s in it for
Alas, I didn’t get a dental implant today. That will happen down the road several months hence. After pulling the rest of the #8 tooth that broke off, the dentist discovered that I don’t have enough jawbone right now to hold an implant, so today he did a bone graft to prepare the area
