It has been long enough since the sports spectacle of Sunday for me to be able to make some comments about the one part I do pay any attention to -- the Super Bowl Commercials. I saw a lot of my friends making remarks about the commercials on Facebook as they aired. Most of the … Continue reading They are Commercials, not Political Statements

Sense of Fairness
When I grew up in Caton, NY, we attended three services a week at church: Sunday Morning, Sunday Evening, Wednesday Prayer Meeting. I was one of three kids, and we always sat one person between mom and dad, one next to mom, one next to dad. I was the middle of the three siblings, and … Continue reading Sense of Fairness
Fitness Update: calorie counting

Dr. Quinn is a fun show with message fiction about a female doctor making … Continue reading Groundhog Day

Don’t dig out your drive twice
Today is a short video post (hopefully it comes through for everyone) showing a moment of creativity. We rarely get snow where I live now, and even rarer is seeing a plow on our street. But when the plow does come through, it invariably blocks our driveway with snow that we have to shovel again. … Continue reading Don’t dig out your drive twice
