Happy birthday, Dad!
Travelogue: Life Lessons
You would have thought that by the time I was nearly fifty I would have learned that my father is sort-of into teachable moments. Let's face it; Dad has always been ahead of his time. He has been doing this to me since before I can remember.

Travelogue: Huh? Speak English!
The irony of this statement was not lost on me – even if the person speaking the line was ignorant of it themselves.
Travelogue: Fast (!?) Food
It was a no-brainer, really! Or so I thought… (Famous Last Words!)
Happy birthday to my cousin Rebecca
Travelogue: Getting To Minnesota
This morning I am headed off to Minnesota (ya sure you betcha) for the annual family gathering at my folks' place. I had been planning on putting the dog into her kennel in the back seat of the Honda and driving (starting at butt-ugly early o'clock this morning) but that plan changed when my car got t-boned in a parking lot last week.

It's A Radiant Day For The Rapture
The sun rising over a lovely little lake, light mist settling over the grassy areas, the sounds of the morning, the smell of frying bacon and coffee. What could possibly go wrong on a lovely morning like this? Oh, yeah! The end of the world, that's right!
