The fact I’m no longer thirtysomething suddenly struck me upside the head last week, leaving me to repeat the same words over and over, “Hell, no! Hell, no!”
I had worked outside for several hours without wearing a hat. It was a beautiful spring ...

Counting blessings
“A friend is one whom we can pour out the contents of our hearts, chaff and grain together, knowing the gentlest of hands will sift through it. A friend will keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of kindness, blow the r...

I had a near-death experience the other day that scared the daylights out of me. Although, anytime one is near death, what else can be expected? It started when I got a hankering for horseback riding. I hadn’t been on the back of a four-legged cre...

You know that old saying, “It’s a small world!” It’s true.
One of my writer friends suggested I join “Facebook,” a gathering place in cyberspace where one can network with people from all over the world. I had my doubts but cast caution to the wi...

Residents in the southern neighborhoods of Palm Coast jumped for joy last year when it was announced a new, locally-owned pizza joint would open in a central location, just five or six miles from where I live. Life could not get better. How I have...

I marvel at how my life has changed over the last fifty or so years.
Of course, why shouldn’t it? Fifty years is a long time, a half-century for God’s sake. I’ve had the good fortune of living every minute of it, sometimes squeezing every second ...

OMG did I pick the wrong time to go north into the frigid temps. Three weeks was enough of sub-zero and two-foot drifts of snow. I return to the sunny climes of Florida with this thought:

I have decided I’m glad to see 2008 waltz off into the sunset with little or no fanfare. What a lousy year it was. I’m hoping 2009 is a lot more beneficial.
So many bad things happened in 2008. How could one not be glad to watch it pass on? The w...

I am an avid Ohio Sate football fan, and it hasn’t been easy as of late.
Sure, I’m tickled about the five straight wins over Michigan and back-to-back appearances in BCS Championship games, but that’s where it ends. With those two championship g...
