Here is the story of Juanita Rodenhiser , a very sweet, well-intentioned mom who’s trying to bring her daughter some happiness. Believe me, I completely understand that goal. But the thing is she has not heard the stories of the others who have preceded her into the “another postcard” category in which she now finds herself. …

Christmas Memories On Acid
The thing I just posted about the fire that wasn’t got me thinking about a couple of seasonal things I maybe should have soundtracked it with. But since I didn’t use them there, I’ll just stick ’em here. First, this clip from an episode of This Hour Has 22 Minutes. And this classic holiday ditty …
Merry Christmas…From Ground Zero?
Given current events, this seems appropriate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t039p6xqutU The more things change… Hope you all have a merry Christmas. Trump willing, we’ll talk to you when we’re back home.
Merry Scary Christmas
Steve told me about these painful-sounding Victorian Christmas parlor games and after I stopped wincing and covering my face, I started to envision what would happen if somehow, someone of that era could visit current day us, sort of like those old Freedom 55 commercials. I can see it all now. “You folks are wimps! …
Christmas Musings
Here we are, December 23 and once again I’m wondering how the heck we got here. When I was little, I remember being told that as I get older, the years will go faster and faster. I thought that was a load of crap, after all, time is time, and how can it possibly go …

Doggy Hodgepodge
I figure I have some time, so why not write about Tans and Trix. Plus, it’s an excuse to put up this photo of Tansy with Santa. I also sent it to her puppy raisers and they seemed to like it. It was quite an adventure to get to this one pet store that was …
A Late Merry Christmas And An Early Happy New Year
Turns out I forgot to wish you all a merry Christmas. Oops. I know Carin took care of it before we left, but I generally do it too, so consider it done. It wouldn’t be me if something wasn’t done late, right? Who am I to mess with tradition? But if I were one to …
