What a trip. It started out on July 18th in the west valley of Phoenix, Arizona and culminated on September 14th. We are now new citizens of a little town in southern Ohio called Miamisburg. A golf course less than a mile down the road. The slow moving Miami River (Greater or Little Miami toContinue reading “Back for Good”

Home Sweet Home
We executed the contract yesterday and now we can finally rest from the frenetic cross-country Death Ride out from Arizona. We get to pack up all our belongings, unload the Highlander, and let our two loyal furry friends into their big privacy-fenced back yard. I think they are even entertaining the thought of swimming inContinue reading “Home Sweet Home”
Flies
My mother hated them like nobody’s business. If she saw one in the house, all activity immediately ceased until the intruder was vanquished. Snakes, no problem. Spiders, bugs? No problem. Flies?

Lyrics were examined to see howContinue reading “WOMAN among women”

His songs have made him wealthy beyond anyone’s wildest dreams, but his songs not only are well-written,Continue reading “MAN Among men”

Karaoke
I LOVE karaoke. Anyone can sing because everybody can sing. Except Karen. I love this woman, worship the very ground she walks on, but she couldn’t sing if she could sing. That bad. Karaoke is fun, a good value requiring minimal marketing expense, and offers a good return if it is done right. There’s myContinue reading “Karaoke”
