…but it might get you in a pinch!
Anhinga tagged me with the Honest Scrap award for bloggers who have written honsestly on their blogs. I think that’s most of us but I’ll accept it, however it leaves me in a pinch because I can’t think of a lot of stuff I haven’t been honest about [...]
Move On?

It was uncouth.
It was asinine.
It was disrespectful.
It was unforgivable.
It was insane.
It was a lot of things. They’ve all been said. Many times.
I think that at some point, we need to move on. Everyone, on both sides and in between, is engaging in name calling. It isn’t helping either side. It isn’t helping America. It is [...]

Yup.
My daughter gave this to me to let me know her news and mine. End of February…beginning of March.
I’ve actually known for about 5 weeks but she hadn’t told her dad yet so I couldn’t blog about it.

One Minute Writer posted this prompt last week and I decided to give it a try so here goes:
Imagine you have a pair of magic eyeglasses. What can you see through them that you normally wouldn’t be able to see?
I think I would like to have Magic Glasses that would allow me to see people [...]
Inconsequential Things

1. I really don’t understand why kids are on Face Book. I mean kids…like 9 and 10.
2. Face Book used to be nice. I could go on and comment on stuff and do a back and forth. However, now I am getting all these requests to add people to my friends that actually are restricting [...]
