It seems like I haven’t had the time to blog as much as I’d like to lately. Put it this way – Halloween ended over a week ago now, and I still have a draft sitting here detailing how my family spent what’s probably our 2nd favorite holiday. I think I will quickly summarize and […]
JJ, my parakeet, is very sick. I had parakeets when I was younger, and I know enough about them to know that we are lucky that he’s still alive. His chirping and squawking gradually decreased until I realized the other day that he doesn’t vocalize at all anymore. He is very lathargic, and sits puffed

Just in time for Halloween, I came across a macabre news story the other day involving a woman whose actions had even veteran police officers scratching their heads. Woman Drove with Corpse for 10 Months ‘It was very shocking’ COSTA MESA, Calif. (CNN/KTLA) – It’s hard to shock a seasoned police officer, but cops in

Some random kid-related stuff to report… First, my “visitor” showed up to my Sunday morning class. I haven’t had the time to blog about it, but basically there is a parent who came to drop her daughter off a few weeks ago at the worst time possible, and the kids were all over the place
(This is a continuation of my previous post of the same title which can be found here in case you missed it.) (This is us with Jack Hanna! In case you don’t know who he is, I included a brief description of him in my previous blog post about the show!) Before we went into

Last weekend, we drove some 200 miles on Friday night, which culminated in rush hour in Chicagoland. Saturday was go-go-go, but no complaints here since we got to see Jack Hanna’s stage show, something I have been waiting over a decade to see! After a (much too) short visit with family, we were on the
