How Can We Know How Far
The Long Way Can Be
Looking From Where We Are
It Never Seemed That Long To Me
I’ve Many Miles Behind Me
Maybe Not So Much Ahead
It Seems I Made Good Time
With The Directions I Misread
So I’m Gonna Spend My Time
Like It’s Going Out Of Style
I’m Moving The Bottom Line

Weekends with a purpose

I just jumped out of the shower.  A Sunday night shower before an early Monday morning.  An atypical Monday morning where Dave will make sure all our precious peewees make it to their destined bus rides to start their week, rather than me.
I got to thinking about the weekend.  This weekend was fairly unscheduled.  It [...]

Tired of Hot?

At least finding this weather pixie makes the warm weather a bit more fun

The sun sets on Blog Action Day…

Today is Blog Action Day 2009:  Climate Change.  I’ve thought all day long what to write about.  I’ve read the updates as they came through.  I got excited about the worldwide momentum in the blogosphere.  Yet… my post didn’t materialize.  Often when I drive, I find the posts take root.  Today…  I waited and waited.

I’m not sure what it was that woke me up at 4:31 am this a.m.  The room was still the same.  The air conditioner was still on and off at usual intervals.  The sounds of happy sleep and intermittent snoring was still filling the air.
Something told me in my half away thoughts to pray and [...]

Mirage

It is too hot to think too hard! 100 degrees by 10 am and knowing AZ temperatures are hotter than Dubai make me realize most of what is going on may simply be a mirage these days.
One thing is always for certain. You can count on yourself. You alone are responsible for [...]
