The Big U of K

You may not have noticed, but I sent my son to college recently. I held it together pretty well, considering how strongly I feel about my kiddo. The outpouring of calls I got was very touching … people checked on me for several days after the move to make sure I wasn’t committing empty-nest seppuku. [...]

I should learn to keep my mouth shut …

No time at all passed between my last post and a series of events that ensured I was unable to “just chill” and enjoy having finished school. First of all, our house was burglarized. While it may have been something of an overreaction, I took that as a sign that it was time to move. [...]

Good Samaritan

Some days, I am simply appalled by the way human beings treat one another.  Most days, really.  But today I saw one of those things that restores your faith in your fellow human.  I was leaving school and a man had pulled his car over to retrieve something from the road.  At first I thought [...]
