Brain Dump
As I mentioned, there are a lot of changes going on…and change can bring some chaos with it. In that chaos, things can get lost in the shuffle. I realized, when I took those last images of my daughter, that it had been a long, […]
Ch ch ch changes…
I have a lot of things changing in my life at the moment…a lot of things up in the air….a lot of unknowns…some new projects…some old problems. Change is everywhere. I am not a huge fan of change…..even when the current situation is not good…I […]
My Baby
That, right there, is a picture of my son, Matthew, taken at midnight….the moment he turned 12. Twelve! My baby! Shutup, I can call him my baby if I want to. And I don’t usually, but..holy crap! My baby! Is twelve! Which, of course means […]

Tastes Like Chicken
Because heaven knows that there is not enough inane and pointless crap on the internet, I have my own 5 seconds of junk to throw on the pile. At a session a few weeks ago, I opened my mouth and an obviously confused ladybug flew […]

Goodbye, Old Friend
Today, my dog died suddenly. She was a loyal companion for 12 years. Over the years, she has knocked over Christmas trees, eaten boxes (yes,boxes) of ornaments, shredded everything in the pantry to bits, jumped through about 100 screens, broken fences, eaten my car seat […]
