It is estimated that we will share the roads today with over 2 million people who have had at least 2 drinking and driving incidents. For this reason alone, I rarely go out and party on New Years Eve unless I can spend the night wherever I am at. In 2006, an estimated 17,602 people died in alcohol-related traffic crashes —an average…

I was envious when my friend Courtney told me she was going home to Maine to visit her family for the holidays. They had snow and lots of it! We’re visiting family in Southern Oregon, where it doesn’t snow very often. The last time I had seen snow in Grant’s Pass, Oregon was 5 years ago. And every year since then, I've wished for…

Why is it that when we return home, return to the place where our hearts beat the loudest, that we always return to that of a child no matter how old we are? Bill and I are in
Grant’s Pass, Oregon (Southern Oregon) visiting my family. As I had brought a cold with me, I didn’t…

Today was a gray day. I don’t like gray days. On those days we are stuck between rain and sunshine, and I’d much prefer rain or sunshine. Instead, it felt like Mother Nature couldn’t make up her mind. Come to think of it, that is how I felt today, like I couldn’t make up my mind. I was tired. Do I read a book, watch TV, finish…

Where the heck is my phone, damn-it?
I had it 10 minutes ago. I know I did.
Crap, I must have left it in the car. I know I had it in the car. I remember using it in the car. I called home.

Hey buddy, really, no, I don’t mind at all that you realized, at the very last possible split second, that you needed to be in the left hand lane to make a left hand turn.
