The View From 35000 ft…

Well, not literally... I didn't get my normal window seat, but at least I am not scrunched in-between a couple of people and all their stuff. 767's are good for that. I've been thinking about the recent events, and love the preponderance of blogs, comments, posts, etc. about the action against bin Laden... to a …

Riding Horses…

Earlier this week,  I visited some friends who have a ranch in Nevada.  Being a city/suburban kid, the only time I got close to farm animals was on school field trips. There were some  ranches around the area I lived growing up, but all I would do is run by them and see the animals …

Handing out the lemons…

Lemons. You really gotta love 'em. In fact, my son loves them so much he eats them like oranges. Personally, I think he's crazy, but I admit he gets his craziness from me. I end up using them a lot in cooking, and having a lemon tree in the backyard is a definite plus. One …
