Born of Fire
I took a big chance a week ago. Anniversaries are special times, and as such, putting all of your eggs in an unknown basket could turn out pretty bad. Lucky for me, it didn't. I heard about a Bed & Breakfast on Twitter from someone I was just getting to know, Gina Stark. I figured …
This has been a challenging week for me. Trying to deal with life and all that, understand where I am, where I am going, a lot of pondering, burning through all kinds of brain power... The result - I came to the big realization, that I am not omniscient. Not even close. In fact, I …
The last couple weeks, I've been a grump. Not a big grump, but just enough for me to know that I was a grump (I'm sure others noticed it too). When I get like this, I get silent and invisible. Not a good thing when you are trying to have some level of online presence …

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 …
