It’s pretty peaceful here where I live, at least outwardly. Our local towns aren’t plagued by violent robbers and rioters; murderers and malcontents don’t roam the streets. Within some of our homes, however,… Continue reading
Do we trust the driver or do we bail?
Driving the Ohio turnpike in a winter storm at night is, shall we say, adventuresome. Snow completely covering the road and blowing everywhere, drivers having to guess where the lanes are while struggling… Continue reading

I can’t remember Thanksgivings. With nine brothers and sisters, who eventually were bringing spouses and children, you would think every one would be memorable, if only for the chaos and commotion. But my… Continue reading
