Mine just dropped another leaf... my cousin Benny just died, complications from pneumonia. I'm not sure how old he was, in his 50s anyway. He had 3 or 4 kids. You can tell we weren't close, but he was very likeable.

When I woke up this morning it was very lightly snowing. By the time I left for work it had shifted to light rain. I checked the weather app and it was forecasting just rain for this part of the state. So imagine my surprise when...

I never did make it to music practice yesterday. I made it onto Highway 4, which I call "Gun Alley," and wound up at a dead stop about three miles in. I turned on the radio and learned that someone had run into traffic while...

I never was a big fan of Seinfeld though I have watched it on occasion. Of course I know about Festivus though. It is just a big US cultural thing. You probably know about it even if you've never watched the show. Apparently the...

Funeral home calendars were the norm growing up. I didn’t really make the connection of my dad being a pastor and having so many funeral home calendars until I was older. Anyway, so the free ones were the ones we used at home....

BarBaraPrz I much prefer presents I actually "need" (chocolate) rather than another pair of socks. (And yes, there was a pair in my gift bag from the Centre.)

BarBaraPrz @LindaOHio I was only joking, anyway. I think some aunts and uncles bought my grands' TV. And ours came in payment for all the help my father gave in renovating an abandoned house down the street.

BarBaraPrz I haven't heard of either the author or the books, but then I've been out of fandom for decades... if I ever come across the book(s) and I like the cover(s) I just might pick it/them up.
