Do What You Can Do…
This picture and its saying are fantastic – a little sassy, but fantastic!
To all my fellow auto-immune disease sufferers – I say: Let’s raise a glass of water and toast ourselves – and to those who don’t understand and don’t want to try to understand – to heck with you!
We may take longer to do some things (work, rest, work again)…we may be more tired and achy… Read more
The Mathematician, The Woodworker, The Pope, The BOSS Fan, The Biker,
and the Dad, the Husband, and my Best Friend.
These are all terms to describe Timothy.
You’ve all read about the Math Teacher: Kudos to 20 Years of Teaching Math
He’s also a talented woodworker…yes, at times we call him “Tim the Toolman” although he’s much less accident prone than Tim Allen. He puts up with my brilliant hair-brained ideas…and calmly goes about building them.

Lessons from Dad…Fishing, Coffee Cans in the Boat, and Goose Hunting
I sure loved my Dad.

Always keep your word: When Dad said the kids needed to be quiet and behave or he’d turn the car around and we wouldn’t get to go to Grandma’s house…he meant it. We found out the hard way. Grandma’s house was about 4 hours away and we were about 3 1/2 hours into the drive when he turned around. Read more
I Choose to NOT be Belligerent
Yes, I said it.
Let’s not just look at the things we choose to be…let’s look at the things we choose NOT to be.
We’ve all had people in our lives that have brought about a better understanding of who we want to be like or who we don’t want to be like.
As much as I loved my parents, there were things they did/said that I knew I didn’t want to emulate. And the same goes for other people that I’ve met throughout the years.
Sometimes it really is important to look at the things we don’t want to do or be like…and remember. Read more
