Why does life contain so many mini-dramas? I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to dread the question, "How's it going?" And it's not because things are particularly bad for me.

Don’t Wait for the Funeral to Visit
Last week we had my father-in-law's funeral. It was heartening to my wife and I how many people made it out on a Friday evening to pay their respects and express their condolences.

Praying for the Folks in Virginia
The horror yesterday at Virginia Tech struck a little too close to home for me. My brother is very much younger than I am (by, oh, 20 years) and is in college right now. Even though I was raised in New York, my folks moved to western Virginia when he was a toddler so that's the only home he's … Read more about Praying for the Folks in Virginia
Sunday Morning Goodness – 15 April 2007
I know it is tax deadline day. But it's Sunday so they probably are giving you until tomorrow to file since the mail isn't running today. (Don't hold me to that, though.

Reservations for an Especially Hot Place in Hell
As you may have noticed my posting frequency has dipped a bit recently. I've got a lot on my plate and am even busier than normal. I'm OK with that. But there is something I'm not OK with. You might say I have a bone to pick, although my problem is boneless. I suppose you could say I've got a … Read more about Reservations for an Especially Hot Place in Hell
