In which my son grows a second head

Or, at least has something like a second head sticking out the side of his neck.
Turns out it's a lymph node. Swollen like, HUGE. And now he's really sick. REALLY sick. He couldn't walk to his bedroom. His throat hurts, he has as high fever and is sick, sick, SICK! So off to the doctor's [...]

I am a Master Baiter

Yes…I am particularly gifted at this little solo-act. I can bait a hook and cast it out in 5 seconds flat, leaving all on the banks of the lake in awe and wonder, wanting desperately to see more.

Well Knock Me Over with a Garden Rake

There are moments in life when I look at my fellow man's deeds and think there is no hope for humanity. The violence, the hatred, the destruction are all so overwhelming, and personally, I often have a difficult time coming up with some positive to outweigh the negative. My only hope truly lies in knowing [...]

In Which I Beg for Death to Take Me

Happy entry title, no?
I originally wanted to entitle it, “Just shoot me…no wait..don't…it might add to your rap sheet”
This after an afternoon of refereeing via cellphone my two teens having a knock-down-drag-out while I went to the store. For an hour .
