Been planning to blog for weeks but there's always one more thing to do first. Sometimes it's necessary to just make the commitment. In Rome that's 29. For anyone who doesn't recognize the medallion, ...

Even that has been cleaned up and packed away with the rest. I take the time to band each row of branches so that it's easy to put up the next year. I can only imagine how it would be for the poor fo...

The first planning meeting for this year's session of 4C Camp for Adults was held back in February and camp finally took place last weekend. We had two fun-filled days until the news of the eminent ar...

Yeah, if you know me well enough your mind went in "that" direction.... You're right, of course. I lost some weight after the last two stays in the hospital and the urge to get it on comes often, and ...

It's good to be back online! I spent five days in the hospital again (without a smart phone) with another bout of pancreatitis. This is a repeat of the experience 22 months ago, although I didn't sta...
