I have discovered in the digital dating world it may be difficult to get someone’s attention, not to mention a response. The online world is much less confrontational than life. At the grocery store, if a man said “hello,” I would feel compelled to reply with a corresponding greeting. However, online, we are able to…… MORE
About five years ago, I became a vegetarian. It wasn’t for health reasons or some awful experience I had with meat — it was just a philosophical decision that I made. Before that, I hadn’t eaten beef or pork in over 20 years. People ask me if I miss eating meat, seafood or poultry, and I…… MORE
This is not something I see everyday. It is also not something I consider common. But, I do see it from time to time on social media and I do not understand it. Why do some parents post pictures of their children crying? I’m not talking infant children or a child scared to death of…… MORE
In a world where social media has become the tallest and most accessible soapbox society has, the verdicts reached by the “court of public opinion” have also become louder and heavier. And that can be a big problem. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, you name it – social media really is more helpful than harmful. We…… MORE

I found something strange on one of my adventures around North Texas. Well, it was merely mysterious to me, but I learned it was a saving grace to many others. And I didn’t even know such things existed until now. While out one evening driving through the mid-cities area, looking at new neighborhoods being built…… MORE
Pardon my French, but what in H-E-double-hockey-sticks is wrong with recipe writers? Yesterday I had a craving for Swedish meatballs. So, I went to my favorite online recipe source for Alton Brown’s Swedish meatballs recipe. As always, I got sucked in by the relative simplicity of the recipe and the claim of convenience that it…… MORE
My oldest daughter just started her senior year in high school. I keep asking myself how this could be??!! It’s seems like yesterday that she was three months old, jumping up and down on my lap with little springs in her legs. It’s hard to believe in less than a year, we will be packing…… MORE
The Olympic athletes continue to amaze me. Every two years (Counting the Winter Olympics, obviously) we are treated to athleticism at its finest from swimming to a record number of gold medals or keeping the spirit up after failing to make it to finals. In between reports of that green diving well and what in…… MORE
