Cole said, “Mom lets add a few of dad’s ashes to the Chicago Big Blizzard of 2011.” So we did. ....tell me snowflakes, do you come from where the angels are?

Big Snow In Chicago
We have BIG SNOW. The Big Friendly Blizzard (BFB) of 2011 has arrived. When I lived in St. Louis in my early 20s, I experienced my first real snow storm. Sure, I had been in snow before, but I had never really managed the experience on my own. At the time I owned a Honey … Continue reading Big Snow In Chicago

Maybe it's the gray skies of January or just an overall weariness, but for the past couple of weeks … Continue reading Rants in Your Pants
Da Chicago Bears~DA-Vine Intervention
Today, at 2:00 pm, the Chicago Bears will play the Green Bay Packers. The Packers and the Bears are the oldest rivals in the NFL. My Dearly Departed loved football. I used to swear that he would sit in front of a television’s test pattern if they threw a football across it every now and … Continue reading Da Chicago Bears~DA-Vine Intervention
To Do or Not To Do that is the Question
To do or not to do? That is the question. No, I am not on Facebook all day, which I suppose would be the equivalent of sitting on the couch eating bon-bons in the old days. Monday through Friday, I drive Cole to and from school, (45 minutes each way) check five or six campers in … Continue reading To Do or Not To Do that is the Question

In fact, … Continue reading Odd Word Invitational!
