We had the car and knew who it belonged to and we had a very good idea that the owner's son had been the driver. We had dealt with him on several occasions previous to this one. I didn't get...

I was supposed to supervise him but he'd been at it long enough that there really wasn't much for me to do. I was going over paperwork in my office, killing time, when we got a call of...

I live in the desert. Most of the houses out here don't have lawn. I do have lawn but not covering my whole yard. In the back yard, I probably have half covered in lawn. The rest is...

Usually, I’m pretty quick with a response but this one left me a little off guard. A couple of thoughts ran through...

I don’t know why we went down there and we only stayed one winter before returning north. He went into the Air Force and I went to college when we returned.

I hope neither of them are reading this because I have a confession to make. Until I saw them on our list of coming attractions, I had never heard of them before. "That's okay," I thought. I have probably heard one or two of their songs and just didn't know... Sign in to see full entry.Monday, March 12, 2007Family DinnerGrowing up, we had a tradition. When my dad wasn't out on some aircraft carrier, we would meet for dinner every night as a family. Everyone was expected to be there. If friends were over at the house, they could go home but they were also invited to stay if they wanted. Extra people was allowable,...
