I was listening to This Week In Blackness Prime yesterday as they discussed/reacted to the despicable shooting in Charleston that happened this week. The phone lines were open and at one point a caller from Georgia spoke about living in the south where "an acceptable amount of racism" is just always in existence. Now, I... Continue Reading →
First Words
The other day my oldest asked me to remind him what his first word was. This comes up from time to time because both boys have kind of fun and unusual versions of this milestone. Wait - a story about the boys when they were babies that I haven't told here yet? Oh, let's fix... Continue Reading →
Your unique voice – share it!
We take a pause from monthly photo albums for a little bit of actual, thoughtful writing. Over the last year I've been filling my newly released time (kid away at college, no more volunteering to support everything he did) with some self improvement.

Things That Make You Go ‘Hmm’ – CTEC Tax Course Edition
After taking the last few months off to just BE, I've decided to start filling up my non-work time again. Only this go round wont be as a volunteer. I REALLY need to push more money into my retirement fund (luckily I do have one that I was funding quite a bit in the 90s-00s)... Continue Reading →
