Mondays are my days to crash and burn. It is the day that I allow myself to do nothing. I don’t require that I take a shower, step outside, do errands, etc. It’s the day I allow myself to wallow in self pity. Even stay in bed, if I like. Maurice and I are very […]

Unfortunately due to school and other amusing intrusions in my life, I’m out the door all day so there is no time to write. Not wanting to leave nothing at all, I thought I’d share another fun video for you. This past Friday I posted a YouTube video of members of our military, stationed in […]

The past couple of posts I made were regarding living near the water. As a young kid we lived near Lake Michigan. As a teenager I lived in North Carolina. Though the beaches in North Carolina were hours away from where we lived, it was still exciting to live in a state that had a coastal […]

This past Friday I mentioned the picture above, the header of this blog, is one that I took at Hermosa Beach. Hermosa is where you’ll frequently find me walking in the mornings. Why did I choose that picture to define me? The answer to that is what I hope to find in these posts. I […]
