Easier, Softer Way This is a phrase used in the bible of the original 12 step organization (known as the Big Book). As I have traveled the road of life, I often found myself looking for an easier, softer way to get what I wanted. In school, I dogged assignments and read other peoples notes.

Reflection and a Hard Head What a good weekend, but a great reminder that kids are for the young, and I don’t get smarter about some things with age. It was great to spend the time at my youngest daughters and in the company of a terrific son-in-law. All three of the grand kids were there, the oldest finishing off a weeks vacation with her cousins. Funny how different kids are with their parents not around! Some great learning and remember when’s! After 25 years on not ice skatin... Read More
