Will they talk about you when you're dead, and what will they say?

I've been watching a show called Men in Trees. It cute but a storyline that's been done before. A woman moves to Alaska when her soon-to-be husband cheats and she breaks it off. The town is Elmo, Alaska. In this episode, the oldest guy dies, and the people are sitting around the pub contemplating.... Sign in to see full entry.

I've wrestled with this one all day. The babies in the washer/dryer

It still keeps coming down to one or two sentences. What kind of nasty world do we live in that someone will jab a pregnant woman in the stomach with scissors, remove the baby...and put the remaining two kids in a washer and dryer. I've seen so many people who were so stone cold guilty walk, I can't... Sign in to see full entry.

Privacy, Even Little Brother is Watching

I've always been a privacy nut which seems a bit crazy since I'm a journalist, but if you knew me, it wouldn't seem so off center. I'm not one of those people who chases down people after they've lost everything in a fire, etc. The people I write about generally are looking for someone to tell their...

Chasing the Dream---why not you?

This is a short one. Another in the self revelation things that could go in journal as well as here. I just think it applies to many more people than is commonly thought. At least I hope people realize. When my daughter was in 3rd grade, I had the obligatory parent/teacher conference. She got As and... Sign in to see full entry.

One Person Can Make a Difference to One Person

The war in Iraq is the reality of today…whether you agree with it or not. Almost, if not all, I've spoken with say the same thing that was said of Vietnam soldiers. ---I may not agree with the way, but I would never speak ill of the people over there, and I certainly wouldn't treat them with...

I went to bed celebrating Christmas, and I woke up with a Mennorah

on my nightstand. Okay, that's not literally the truth. Okay, that's not even the truth in spirt. But I'm trying to make a point, so just follow the bouncing brain cells with me. How many of you remember Jackie Mason, the sarcastic, almost sardonic, Jewish comedian who looks fondly on age 65 as the... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I'm changing this a bit. One of my long-term goals as a journalist has been to do George Plimpton sort of stuff. Basically, the idea would be to try this or that, then write about it. I've been doing that to a degree, and I plan to use this blog to further that. I'll be testing products, playing games, trying new things or writing about experiences as they happen,
