The flu never sneaks up, like a silent cat getting closer and closer. No. Wham, bam, the flu hits you over the head and wrestles you to the ground and hog ties you to the bed for days. And when you do get up, you feel like a wrung washcloth that is dehydrated and limp.
We were also left with a cough that seemed to never depart. I thought of a great way to make money on our cough, but the boys . . . well, their enthusiasm was less than great. Some people just have a hard time seeing the big picture. Listen and find out what happens.

Sometimes the night does not go as you plan. As an adult and as a child. One night I wake up and hear more than a bump. Which gets me thinking about the night I knocked on my dad’s door and told him I had a surprise for him.
Happy Father’s Day to all you dads!

Why is it we are all born with one fatal flaw? The worry flaw. The need to worry about anything and everything. It seems we all carry around a container of worries. Some have small bags of worries, the size of a checkbook and a few credit cards. Others have a medium box of worries, the size of a shopping bag. Others have a three drawer filing cabinet of worries. Still others have a large cupboard of worries, big enough to hide a large screen TV. So how does this worry thing work? Listen and find out.

There is a reason why at potlucks women should run to the front of the line. If they wait until all the males have gone, there remains only vegetable salad, and a lot of empty dishes needing washing. I knew this, so I should not have left the room to chat with a girlfriend on the phone after dinner was ready. That was mistake number one. Listen and find out what mistake number two was.

Sometimes your problem is so different, that when you call customer service to report it, they don’t take you seriously. In fact they think you may be making it up! This is what happened when I called the phone company to finally report our problem. But, come on! Weird things can be true. Even if there is no box for customer service to mark because no one has ever called about a problem like this before.
