Christmas

Thank You, Winter Solstice!

I always look forward to Winter Solstice. I like the turn of the wheel when the days get lighter, and lighter. Although this year, I haven’t minded the darkening days quite as much. Maybe the sunlight on the brilliantly white snow during the day helps. Its truly a Winter Wonderland here right now. I hope [...]

Hoarding

Rat park

Rat park

I wrote the following during this last Christmas season. I had just decided to go back home rather than to my Granddad’s house in another town. How has your holiday vacation been? (I hope you’ve had some holiday vacation!) I’ve been thinking about the coming year. What I think I should be doing is looking [...]

That darned ACLU

You give one charity $25 and before you know it, Anthony D. Romero from ACLU is writing you compelling donation letters. And you can say to the letter, “Look, I know I donated to you once, but I just quit my job and Christmas is coming up.” To which Anthony responds, “At the heart of [...]
