Hey, y’all – Several days ago, on Sept. 23rd, to be exact, I posted on Facebook that there were only 100 days left in 2009. Then, I posed the question, “What do you want to make sure happens this year before time runs out?” I also said that I was pondering the question, too, and [...]
Are you crazy or alive?
Yeah, yeah, I know. I haven’t written in a long time. The Critical Parent inside me is having a field day with that. Does yours do that to you? I hope not, because it really sucks! And the interesting thing is that it doesn’t help me post here more often. No! It actually keeps me [...]

Risk = Blogging, and a Whole Lot More
It has come to my attention, through my obvious reluctance to post entries here (as well as the same reluctance of my readers), that blogging is scarier for me (and you) than I had thought it would be. Not that I am giving up, mind you! No; I am just noticing that it has been [...]
On the risk of not being exposed
Over this past weekend, due to a number of synchronistic events, I had the pleasure of being introduced to the photography of Virginia Webb.
