The day of the “big” hurricane, the one we had always feared, was upon us. She was ‘a comin!! My in-laws, plus granny, descended on my house like a herd of migrant workers. The next thing I knew, granny was filling every bottle in the house with...

More than 25 years ago someone told me I should never burn the bridges I’ve crossed in life because I never know when I may have to make a U-turn and cross back over that same bridge.I never gave that statement much thought back then but the older I...

Girl Scout Troop 354 was on the move again! We were, as usual, loaded in our troop mother’s station wagon and, this time, we were headed to the local Air Force base for a tour. What a treat!! I was on my best behavior, except for the two dirty looks I...

Before I sat down to write this, I had to remember where I left my reading glasses… When I was 23, a 33 year old woman had the hots for me. She was a cutie. A friend of mine played bass in a band and her brother was the drummer. He kept telling me...

This might make more sense to people who have been following the Casey/Caylee Anthony story on the news. When Caylee first disappeared, Cindy Anthony and Lois Peter of St. Cloud became friends. Her then 12 year old granddaughter, Dakata Skii, and Casey...

I have had good storytellers, great conversationalists and naturally funny people tell me that they could never be a writer. “And, why is that?” I ask. “I'm not good enough,” is the usual answer. “Good enough for what?” I...

Over the course of any marriage, your spouse does or says things that make you think “How could he do this to me?” or “If he really loved me, he wouldn’t have said that” or “This is so hurtful, I can’t even believe this is the man I...

The hoopla over Oprah's debut on Twitter was ridiculous, but surprisingly divided. Celebrity tweets often feel more like personal ads, mini commercials (don't forget to catch my show on ---!) or little snippets of information carefully orchestrated to...

Every year around this time my sister, Maggie, and her husband, Bud, take a mandatory trip to Houston for follow-up tests. They left this morning from Cape Canaveral and no, they didn't fly a rocket to Mission Control. About four years ago, my...

Dear Sir: How's it hangin'? I know you're mighty busy, so I'll be brief. I've been damn good this past year, sir. I'm helping take care of my ancient mother too. I even live with her in her house, and I want major points for this because care-giving...

I got so many comments (on twitter) from yesterday's blog that I decided to expand a little and tell you why I decided to join and how I completely disgraced myself and learned humility. It will have to be quick, though, since I really have to get some...

“Merry Christmas, Dad! Coping with Grief in the Holiday Season” By: Aaron Welch, LMHC, NCC, CSOTS I doubt if this article will be very long in comparison to most that I write. The topic is far too difficult for me to “go...

Well, I just got back from a most wonderful 2 weeks away 'on tour' and I must say I am tired and still reeling from all the events! All 3 concerts were a real joy to do. The St. Paul United Church of Christ and...
