Three moves in the past six years makes me somewhat of an authority on moving I think. I have done smaller moves within the same state in the past and that did not involve heavy furniture or movers. We simply took stuff in our car and put it in the new place, over the course of … Continue reading Moving 101

The End of an Era
The bunk bed went yesterday. In the living room the 40-inch TV lies on the floor, devoid of its stand. The coffee tables and end tables gone - even their impressions on the carpet - gone. Very soon this house will be empty. Emptied of occupants and emptied of possessions. It will no long smell of … Continue reading The End of an Era
On the Brink of a Mid-life Crisis
Maybe it's the dwindling hormones that announce the advent of menopause. Maybe it's the overcast skies that are a regular feature of this part of the world. Maybe it's my inability to get a decent job. Dang it! I blame all of the above for pushing me into this limbo. Winter blues hit me bad … Continue reading On the Brink of a Mid-life Crisis
The Forgotten Art of Simplicity

You see I have been fighting nature and possibly nurture all my life. My Dad and I have a lot in common. We are both quiet … Continue reading Nature or Nurture: My Genes Revealed
100th Post – A Time For Celebration and Gratitude
A few weeks ago as I was writing the 93rd post, it hit me that sometime soon I would be writing and posting my 100th post. I wasn't really counting my posts until then so it came as a bit of a surprise to me. Not the fact that 100 naturally follows 98 and 99 … Continue reading 100th Post – A Time For Celebration and Gratitude
Farewell Florida
So if you are wondering why I haven't been blogging most of May, it has to do with the unspeakable horrors of moving. Moving where you ask? Out of the sunshine state of Florida with its orange groves and palm trees. On Memorial Day we loaded up a mini-van to the point of bursting and … Continue reading Farewell Florida
