Anger… I feel it sometimes. I feel it when the guy cuts me off in traffic. I feel it when someone disagrees with me. I feel it when I hit a bad shot on the basketball court or the golf course.
I felt the other day when nothing went right. I tried to be a handy [...]

My wife Mary had surgery this morning. It was outpatient surgery on her broken nose. So, we rose early and went to the surgical center waiting room.
The room is appropriately named since that is exactly what we did. We waited… along with a bunch of parents with young kids. Needless to say the room was [...]

Mirrors are usually helpful to us. I ran into one today that wasn’t particularly good to me. The reason was because… I ran into it, literally!
To try to explain, a rather large vehicle was parked beside mine. As I tried to move between my car and the aforemetioned truck, I hit the truck’s mirror with [...]

I bought some jeans the other day from a Sears store in Indianapolis, Indiana. I was there visiting my daughter before heading up to Michigan to visit my dad and take in a Tiger’s game.  Detroit Tigers baseball, for those who are wondering.
So, I was looking at those same jeans this morning when I recognized [...]

My car is quiet! I know that isn’t earth shattering news for most of you but it certainly is a big deal to me. It means that my car’s tranny is no longer making noises that scares the neighbors.
Due to the gracious gift of some incredible friends, I was able to get my car fixed. [...]

It has been awhile since I have written my blog. I was busy all last week being dad and grandpa to our kids visiting from Chicago. Hopefully, it is like riding a bike.
One of the things we did while they were here was to go fishing. I say that generously since I am not sure [...]

The other day my brother who was visiting with us tried to unsuccessfully close our garage door. In his attempt to close the door, it appeared that the chain mechanism fell off of the door.
So, he simply pushed the garage door opener again. The bar that had been attached to the door had fallen off [...]

Yesterday was Leap Day. February 29 only occurs once every four years. We are used to 365 days in a year, so it is pretty special to have 366 days in 2012.

In point of fact, the earth turns roughly 365 and a quarter times on its axis by the time it has completed a full year’s [...]
