and… arrived

My family is not always the best at clear communication. We were the worst example of that telephone game. Or maybe the best. I am home in good old Solon, Ohio. I missed my dad; he has returned to the nursing home for the night. He was upset that he didn’t get to see me, […]

2008 in review – the brief edition

I am happy to get this year wrapped up and put to bed. There have been some great advances in my life, but through all of it, this year has offers a level of disorganization and frustration that tops the remainder of my life. I am not compelled to dwell on it as long as […]
