Every so often, you find yourself involved in a project of creativity where the finished project actually somewhat resembles the vision you had when you started. And you stand back, revel in the glory of what you’ve created and think, How in the WORLD did THAT happen? This week is Meet the Teacher week for… Continue reading We came. We saw. Yeah, we pretty much rocked.

Bullseye!
It’s amazing what a little housecleaning can do for my psyche. Somehow the cleansing of my bathroom toilets promotes a cleansing of my soul. The washing of the dirty dishes washes away the tiredness and the funk from my emotional “sink.” It’s sad, really, almost a sickness. But it’s worth it, because now, my mind… Continue reading Bullseye!
AI: The last one standing
Tonight we crown our next American Idol. From the thousands who auditioned, to the hundreds who went to Hollywood, to the final 24, to the final 12, to the performing 10…we are now down to the final 2.  And tonight, the moment we’ve been waiting for will finally be revealed. After 3 hours of endless… Continue reading AI: The last one standing

Night at the Museum
It wasn’t exactly like this… or this… but we DID manage to sleep in a room with dinosaur bones!

If you read this blog, then you know the technical difficulties I ran into trying to finalize the details yesterday afternoon. To be honest, that frustration was the LAST thing I needed yesterday. And seeing a sign telling people it would… Continue reading Be careful what you pray for
Mom said there’d be days like this
September 20 is always a hard day for me. You’d think after 10 years, I’d just get over it and move on. However, I find almost the opposite is true. I find the loss of my dad in some ways more painful now than I did 10 years ago. His legacy lives on, but I… Continue reading Mom said there’d be days like this
