My sister-in-law--whom I love-- and I were together last weekend. She was wearing a beautiful white sweater with a white vest. I had on a light grey sweater.    By the end of the evening, my grey sweater was stained in two places. My sister-in-law’s sweater, however, looked as fresh and clean as it did when she first walked into the room.  

An interesting week ended yesterday. My (football) team grossly disappointed (again)! A couple of parties. My (basketball) team unceremonious dumped its coach.

It's not often I find myself speechless yet last Tuesday night I did.  

Have you ever thrown a Surprise Party?   Was it a success?  Was the Secret kept?

It is said that we live in interesting times. Regardless of one’s political leanings and perspective, it is hard to deny that we are witnessing history being made. But interesting and historic times can also be distracting.

When it comes to being a time, it seems there are two distinctly different types of people. Those that are On-Time and those that are Late. English author Edward Verrall Lucas said "I have noticed that people who are late are much jollier than the people who have to wait for them." Grrr...

  The turkey was finished, leftovers put away, kitchen cleaned, floor mopped, and garbage was at the curb. It was a long, fun, day spent with family and good friends.

  On the way back to the office from court last week, I decided to do a quick stop at the grocery store. I needed two items for home and wanted to multitask by also picking up something for lunch. While the store was crowded, I thought I could just get on the Express Line with my three items and be out of the store within minutes. I was wrong.
