It's funny how college can change the relationship between a parent and child. It certainly has changed mine.Since my daughter went away to school, we talk EVERYDAY. She calls up and says the same thing: "Whatcha doin'?" My standard response is, "On...

Practice What You Preach You know, us coaches are not like the Walmart happy face all of the time. We have times of frustration too. We are human.However, that said, I practice what I preach. I believe, use and teach through the power of writing. Get...

     My life long awakining happened quite by accident. My mother lived with our family for nine years and was disabled. I was her care giver all of that time and also had a small child. I have to admit between my husband,son...

A cold chill had cast itself over the lands during the previous hours. Many men can be seen pushing through the snow while pulling large and small sled carrying their supplies. Behind them can be seen a massive plain of frozen land covered in the white...

Oh my God!  I never thought it would happen to me.  I’ve turned into a computer geek!  Lord knows, I don’t know how it happened because it wasn’t that long ago that I didn’t even want to turn the thing on.  I...

I get up at 5am, shower, dress and finishing packing the car for the two hour college road trip. We get to the place my daughter says is where orientation is going to be held. Nobody's there. It was the AnimalSciencesBuilding. Then I see a lady...

 It is a lovely, sunny and warm Florida summer day. My youngest is complaining loudly that he is bored.  The constant whining of “Mom, there’s NOTHING to do!” echoes throughout the house.  I try to ignore his cries and...

I love signing in to GB!  Each trip here opens a new window to something I'd never thought about before, or it inspires me in some way.  Today I read some great stories here about motivated people - what drives them, why they reached and how...

My brother was worried about saving his 1000-finger banana plant; I was worried about saving my life. I’m not a major worrier, but when there’s a tropical storm/hurricane in the front yard, I get a little apprehensive. I mean, when the water...

There is always a particular moment when you clearly know you need to change your life. That desire for change is like a grain of sand in a shoe, imperceptible at first but grinding away until it becomes the only thing you notice. Your instinct is to...

Lots of friends ask me where or how to buy wine. Where is easy. It's how that's a little tricky out there. There are tons of groceries ( Publix in FL is top), Big Box Clubs ( Costco has the best variety there), Big Retailers ( in FL there is ABC, Wine...

I hate to admit it, but I know very few of my neighbors.  Despite the fact that we live in a great neighborhood with a small-town feel, my husband and I haven't gotten to know too many of our neighbors during the five years that we've lived...

I was asked to write about my early years involving Baseball on Catalina Island and after. All I can say is, it was a great life for any one that grew up there. Once a year, during spring training, the Chicago Cubs would come to the Island for spring...

At the urging of my eldest daughter, I will try to write something that makes sense. Born in Long Beach, Calif., my parents, Al & Emma Pallas, moved to Catalina Island, Ca. in 1930. I was five at the time. It was at the tail end of the depression and...

Have you ever had one of those moments in life where you wake up and say, “I just can’t do this anymore”? Maybe it’s a relationship that just isn’t working. Or maybe it’s work that isn’t working. That’s what happened to me. 26 years, 8...

Someone on another site asked me how I found Terry.  It's harder, it seems, when we're older, and she was unsure of how to start. Terry and I met online.  I know, a lot of people still think online dating is dangerous, desperate, and maybe even...

  This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store.   We...

One of the many advantages to having an empty nest is the freedom to swap your nest with other adventurous types. We decided that before we sold our house, we would try using it as bait for a cheap month in New York City. Being in the habit of Googling at...

Well, it's that time of the year again.  Every year I take an extended motorcycle ride to somewhere in North America.  This year I decided to ride the pacific coast highway from Vancouver B.C. to Mexico.  This would be a fantastic ride...

I don't know if it's Murphy's Law or just my luck, but whenever I cut into a lemon, some of the juice will squirt into one of my eyes and cause excruciating pain. Big time. What synergy causes that liquid to always find a path leading directly to one...

Around the end of October of 2006, I bought 2 bags of candy to hand out to trick or treaters. I live on a street where no children reside and we seldom get Halloween visitors. Few came and someone had to eat all that leftover chocolate. It was gone in...

I am new at this blogging thing but I like learning new things.  I live in my RV full time. I have a 29 foot Fifth wheel trailer and a one ton Dodge pickup.  But I am not a snow bird type.  To me they are the ones who go from here to there...

I don't often get really angry, but just recently I was literally spitting nickels.I just received my copy of RTIR(Radio and Television Interview Report) this week. This publication is an advertiser's listing of all those who are 'up and coming'. The...

The other night my wife and I along with some friends went on a little cruise on the Indian River Lagoon. It was the annual WFIT Indian River Queen Paddleboat Cruise where two hundred sixty Jazz aficionados/WFIT supporters gather on the ninety-nine foot...

So, I was wondering yesterday why my eyebrows, by the end of a day, have dust in them?  And, then I began to wonder why we even have them.  I mean, I understand why we have eyelashes.  Aren’t they there to keep the dust out of our...
