So today, we close on our new home. It is in a different part of town than either of u have ever lived, on the south side of the river. It's also in a different county, albeit just over the Pulaski County line. It is nice, quiet, has acreage, and is beautiful. We will be …

Another Rainy Day
I love the rain. Trust me, I love the sun, too, especially when I'm going to be outside or at the beach. I just like the occasional good, soaking rain, as it has so many benefits. It makes my water bill less in summer, because I don't have to water my lawn. In our current …
I’m Takin the Day Off
I took off today. First time since December that I have been off for a non-work trip or to work at my second job as an attorney. I needed a break. Saturdays and Sundays are nice, but just being able to get some business done during the week without having to rush around is pretty …
Best Job Ever
I like helping people. There really is nothing better than knowing that you have made someone's life better or made a change in that person's life simply by doing something for that person. This is especially true for those who can either not help themselves, due to age, disability, or economic status, or for those …
Yelling, and Being Yelled At
It honestly takes a very weak man to yell at a woman. Be it a husband, a co-worker, a boss, or someone else. Anyone who yells, without an emergency situation at hand, is out of line. I was yelled at today. It was out of line. It was unnecessary. It was something I would never …
The Long and Winding Road
This has been an incredibly long week. I lost a friend to brain cancer (at very young 42), and a friend’s mom, as well. We also had a lot of stress with our house – buying a new house is never easy, although this time it hasn’t been bad. It’s just the house buying process …
Old Friends Are The Best Friends
Today I experienced something I never thought I would. I reconnected with an old friend from college, one I had not seen in over 20 years. It was simply amazing. I'm so very glad to know that she is happy, has a wonderful family, and is loved. I knew she would be the latter, as …
Using the Good Beauty Aids
I heard recently from a friend, someone who is “in the know”, that another friend had said something that made perfect sense to the both of us. This second friend ha’s a basically terminal illness, and he mentioned to someone else that a person should “use the good towels”. At first, you might wonder exactly …
Conquering Your Fears
I believe everyone is afraid of something. Maybe it's the body builder/bouncer who is afraid of mice. Maybe it's the housewife who is afraid of the smallest spider. Perhaps it's the mailman who is afraid of snow chains. Maybe even it's the surfer who is afraid of getting thumped. Everywhere, everyday, someone faces his or …
Oh the People You Will Encounter
January 3, 2113, 17:51 CST, West Point, Mississippi We have encountered some pretty cool folks on our journeys this week. There was the gas station employee in West Point, Mississippi who told me that Tom's Salt & Vinegar potato chips were the best of that particular flavor. There was the waitress at the Navarre Waffle …
