I was delighted to see the beautiful, four point buck in the front yard again today around 5:30am. Sorry buddy. Those purple berries you love are almost all gone. I am confident the girls and I can make sufficient noise as we charge down the…

Where the Wild Things Go

That’s what my Dad, a WWII Air force instructor, called us kids when we were sick, and that’s me today. No porch news for about 24 hours. Stuck with my tree house views which will test my powers of observation between the shivers. To be…

My Father, who is pushing 90, is a textbook example of what good genes and a healthy lifestyle can do for you. He likes to drop by with the excuse that he wants a cup of coffee. I know he’s been up since 6AM and…
