There were four of us in the office when it happened. We worked for a glass company and if you haven’t guessed by now, the front of the building was large plates of…you guessed it…glass. The glass door from the lobby to the office had a sensor, in that, you …
He stood just beyond the line where the lake water meets the sand. A wire he casually strode past without a second thought of the wild life swimming by. Four days. He stood knee deep for four sunny days. A red solo cup passed from one hand to the other. …
For the past five years, I’ve been listening to both the national and local farm reports, which basically makes me an expert in the field. Prices go up. Prices go down. Sometimes you use your own water supply. Sometimes you let nature dowse your crops with heavenly goodness. It’s simple …
Does anyone remember the great bird attack of Spring 2021? It wasn’t Alfred Hitchcock style by any means. Actually, it wasn’t quite an attack, maybe more of a nursery extravaganza. If you recall, we had Evelyn the duck under the bush, a sparrow’s nest nestled in the front door wreath, …

I’ve written best sellers, eulogies, and key note speeches all while standing on a ladder or …
There’s something I need to get off my chest because of what was on another woman’s chest at the grocery store yesterday. This already sounds like it’s going somewhere it shouldn’t, doesn’t it? To be clear, and to take those awkward ideas that seem to be swirling in your head …
