Third post on this, are you tired of it yet? Well, I now have hundreds of books at my disposal on my new Nook E-Book reader. From Neverland to Wonderland and on the way to OZ. I have books set in the orient, on the moon and in oceans. Books from Baum, Barrie, Doyle, Carroll […]

Well, this was going to be a blog post where I was going to stay upbeat. I was going to talk about the positives and (as it became apparent) the negatives of the 2010 Chicago Cubs team, but I was going to do it as sort of an objective sportscaster… until the bottom dropped out,

I remember very well learning this line spoken by Hamlet to the Players in Act II, Scene ii. It was during whatever course falls between beginning and advanced acting (which would be intermediate) and each student had to learn the speech and deliver it trippingly on the tongue.

My Easter Sunday began this morning about 5 hours after Saturday night ended. I COULD NOT sleep for the life of me. I was sooooo excited that we were going to redeem the Christmas presents Jeff and I got the parents and I got for Megan and Carol. The anticipation was staggering (I swear I’m

We color the eggs, hide the eggs, find the eggs and then eat dinner. The children in our family are growing up now, and the next generation of egg finders are in a place too far. How long will we be able to keep the tradition. We will see. The dinner was far from traditional.
With Friday we honored the blackest time in history- God’s Son, put to death in the worst possible way, and the front page of this site went black in remembrance. Peter, one of His closest friends denied ever knowing Him. “Now what?” People wondered. Wasn’t this man Jesus supposed to save the world? And for

My weekend kicked off to a great start! On Good Friday after singing at services, I was dragged ( 😉 ) by a crowd of no less than 5 kids to see How to Train Your Dragon in 2D. I didn’t find the idea of paying the extra money for the added thrill of three
