  • Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are!


    Emily Dickinson said, “I am out with lanterns looking for myself.” Hopefully, we let the light shine on the areas that reveal the real us and keep the other wild animals in their cages.

  • Right Between the Eyes

    Perhaps it is the pesky, annoying experiences in life, the ones that sometimes bring out the worst in us, that are disguises for something called Serendipity. Those incidents

    beauty in them when they happen and enjoy them while they last.

  • Balloon Boycott Possible in 2028 Olympics

    Before the 2024 Paris Olympics completely fade from

    view, I pause to look back at a sporting event that never really got off the ground. Americans and the world held their breath during a baseball game which included an exhausting pitching duel and one balloon that knocked the wind out

    There is no better feeling when you are a kid than the first
    day of summer. Teachers pulled out all the stops to keep our interests high in the classroom as the battle between education and apathy played out until that last day.

  • Vacation Would Work If I Didn't Have to Relax
    It’s possible to plan a vacation on the beach, but “planning

  • Even Fish Have to Have a Good Fish Story
    Truth is truly stranger than fiction...except when it comes to fish in a pond, and then even the truth can become muddy, like a good fish story, and take a turn towards the eerie, the unnatural and, yes, the “orange.”
