  • Where’s My Christmas Card?

    You’re not getting one. Sorry. The truth of the matter is that I went card shopping this year and bought the most amazing and unique couple of boxes of Christmas cards. They were COOL! You would have loved one. I would have even written: “Merry Christmas!” and depending on how well I knew you, I’d…

    Scott Griffiths: November 27, 1946 – December 21, 2008

  • Birthday Stroll 2008

    S7301639.JPGOriginally uploaded by AprilB As you know, I was born on Christmas… yes, I do still mean the actual day (just like I did last year). It’s not some sad plea for attention, I mean the 25th. Not Christmas the 27th or Christmas on January 3rd, but the day when our family happens to celebrate…

  • Confessions

    Guys, I’m going to need you all to sit down for this one. I’ve got something important to tell you that I just discovered about myself and I thought it would be better if it came from me (before you heard it from a friend) and that I told you all at the same time…

  • 211 Degrees of Oh Please: The Missing Degree

    I’ll be honest with you, I’m not very “woo woo” or “touchy feely” and I’m not an easy sell on force-fed self-help crap (it’s the force-fed part I’m against). Sure, I can admit that I’m being a little unfair (maybe a lot) since it seems to work for the masses, but for me most of…

  • Wal-Mart Frenzies

    For years now, Wal-Mart and I have had a sort of love-hate relationship. I remember in the 80’s when it was all the rage and I lived in my small town; it was the biggest (and only) store that seemed to be open on a Sunday – oh sure, there was Hastings, but Hastings didn’t…

  • Memories of Beth

    The wedding wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be; in fact, I guess it wasn’t even bad at all. I was expecting a monster truck rally, but instead was treated to a lovely traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony. Still, I would have preferred a monster truck rally – more stories. My best friend,…

  • New Understandings

    Scott posed the following question to his readers about a month ago: That brings up my question, is there something someone said to you, or that you heard at some point, that opened up your eyes and made it possible for you to achieve a new understanding or to change some behavior that was holding…

  • Pathfinder

    I think it’s safe to say that I’m not a decent movie reviewer; I just don’t have the vocabulary or even the thought pattern that could produce a well thought out critique. In fact, I know I offend my friends when I’ve seen some highly praised art house film and I come out saying, “I…

  • Tried to Bump Off Sam: How Was YOUR Weekend?

    Last Thursday, I almost completely lost it – Sam, our adorable little beagle, ate a big bag of trail mix. In truth, Sam eats anything that has any hint of flavor – the only exceptions are: pills, broccoli and socks – if it’s not pills or broccoli or socks, which oh please, don’t insult her…
