I will hopefully be on my AirFrance Airbus soon. I’m feeling braver that ...

... the chores of preparation for a change in the
winds. Its a time when simplicity is greatly appreciated and praise
sings high chords with the acknowledgment of no strings attached.

I carefully sort through my meager possessions toying with articles of
clothing that are ridden with holes and held up by threads begging them

We arrived at Bill and Sharon Campbell’s
house (John Kelly’s cousin’s)in Bellevue (just outside Seattle)on September 6
at 5:30 pm. We had a wonderful dinner, including homemade vegetable soup

Fueled Creative. He is a director and ...

Todd and I decided to celebrate our 9th anniversary in style, so we ...

... the house far-set away, beyond the golden trees. I missed his Cadillac, his plane, the costumes, and the hype. But I saw Tupelo, the little house, where he was born.
