Forty years ago, on June 20, 1969, at 2:00 in the afternoon, I first came into this world, probably kicking and screaming, but not going anywhere fast. Since then, I sometimes whether I have gone anywhere ever. When I was a teenager, one of my older friends turned 40. I could hardly believe it. “You’re […]

It’s become a tradition in our family. My father did it when I was little, and now I try to keep the tradition going each year that I can. We put up a Christmas star. The Christmas star is a large star that stretches across the ceiling. It starts with five anchors on the walls, […]

This one I discovered at Jim “Suldog” Sullivan’s blog, who left the meme open for whoever wants to do it. I guess I can no longer say I don’t usually do memes, because I’ve kinda been doing them. Here’s how this one works (Da Rulez): Link to your tagger and post these rules on your […]
