Riding home with the Papa John's box in my lap and enjoying the warmth on my legs, and the mouth watering aroma filling the car, I for the first time actually looked down and read the boxtop. We're More Than A Pizza Company, We're A Pizza Family. Next time I go there I'm going to…
I Don’t Know How Dick Loudon Did It.
Remember when sitcoms were funny? Just flat out funny, without sex, politics, race baiting, or gender identity issues, and we could all just for thirty minutes... laugh? Newhart. The main character is Dick Loudon, and he along with his wife Joanna, run a two hundred year old inn outside a small town in Vermont. Dick…
How To Survive A Total Eclipse Of The Sun.
It's Monday, August 21, 2017, and we have just survived a solar eclipse! Here, we were at almost ninety nine percent but I understand some of our neighbors were at a full one hundred percent. Wow. I have learned so much from this experience and with global climate change at an all time high,…

August 9, 2017, and it's 6:30 on a pleasant Wednesday afternoon. I want to record this date so I will remember. We spent the morning at the doctor's office, and the afternoon riding around our county with both my Mom and my Dad. Right now, as I look over my keyboard to the east, I…

A List of Things I Never Saw Coming.
