Today's run was brought to you by thoughts of love and dessert. Or maybe I should say, love of dessert. As Jeter and counted the miles, I considered my tendency to generally be a fairly generous person. I'm not a hoarder and I don't feel the need to accumulate much in life, happily sharing things … Continue reading Sweet love

Birthdays and buildings – Vote Yes to AHS
On February 9th my youngest child turns 11. I seriously don’t know even know where the last decade went. We brought him home from the hospital one winter afternoon and here it is a lifetime later.

Imagine
Can you believe it has been 35 years since John Lennon was murdered? It just doesn’t seem possible that so many years have passed since the music world lost one of its most influential artists and many of us lost our innocence. I don’t think I’ll ever forget lying in bed that night and hearing … Continue reading Imagine
The meaning of Mass
There are some words in the English language which have so many meanings that they are impossible to accurately interpret without context. "Mass" is one of those words. I suppose my first definition of mass would have been religiously based, mass as a noun, as a destination on Sunday mornings and holidays like Christmas Eve. … Continue reading The meaning of Mass
