Focus on Simple Pleasures
Going to the supermarket without a specific plan is a dangerous game. Things like this happen… “First of the Season!” That’s what the sign said. Who could resist? It was impossible. Reading parts of Thoreau’s Walden today (a longtime favorite), I got to thinking that he really got it right – simplicity is the way…

My Crush
Every now and then the Fab Hub suggests that I write a post about how awesome he is. I honestly don’t know if he’s totally serious or kidding because he thinks I won’t actually do it. Sometimes, though, an opportunity presents itself and you just gotta take it. The Fab Hub is indeed awesome for…

A Standing Date
On the night they met, my Grandmother told my Grandfather that he was crazy. I’m pretty sure she told him that many more times over the course of their life together, but that night was the first – at least that’s how I remember the story. My Grandparents were practically babies when they met – 14…
