Isn’t my mother adorable? I want to squish her with a big hug every time I see this picture. Happy Mother’s Day Mom! I love you! Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the Moms. I want to take a quick moment to give a shout out to all the mothers of the world, and this includes you furry moms too. …
If my dad said these words once, he said them 100 times: Love your country, just don’t trust your government. This sentiment is magnified in the six-episode series “Waco.” This is not a Netflix original series, but it is available now on Netflix. There are varying opinions about the 1993 Waco, Texas siege. In the end, 76 individuals perished. The …
I attended college later in life than most people. It was in my early 30s and I was still writing long hand. I was a writer and did not even have a typewriter. Personal computers had just come on the scene and I did not know how to use a mouse. My astronomy professor convinced me to get a typewriter. …
As a country we were united for about a month. We were all home under house arrest, except for essential workers. That has all changed as of today. About two thirds of the country has opened with social distancing and capacity restrictions, as well as some mask requirements. All but three of the states that did not open this morning …

Today I saw a story headline: Meghan gives job interview advice online from L.A. home. Are you kidding me? The only advice this girl can give is how to snag a rich …
Spring Cleaning is a term that conjures up thoughts of confinement and dust. I bet this horrible idea is on the minds of many today. Hopefully, lockdown ends in a few weeks. So, I thought I would be efficient and attempt to get spring cleaning done while I am still locked down. I will be paying attention to the news …
Before this weekend begins, I need to pay homage to my Desert Southwest family and friends. Folks who live in the Desert Southwest are the most unrecognized people anywhere. I know this because I was a desert dweller for 37 total years. They endure endless amounts of heat every year without any fanfare from the media. It is just accepted …
Speaking of the earth housing us, Happy Earth Day. I always forget about earth day. It surprises me that I do because I am fascinated with earthquakes, and I have always loved geography and terrain. I think the main benefactor of the nasty virus is our Earth and atmosphere. Perhaps as we study this virus and others to come, we …
