Papa and I just bought ourselves a couple of Christmas presents. Now it’s real hard for either of us to think of something we need. I often think the key to happy living is being able to separate what you need from what you want in a very systematic and intellectual way. You’ll always be …

The other day GS2 missed the bus. So, I fired up the old minivan and drove him to school. For some reason, the electricity was out a couple of miles from here. It seemed to have affected some stoplights, but on our route, only the secondary ones, at turnarounds or in the middle of miles …

So, morning again. Papa and I retire at 10 p.m., day in and day out. Last night was a little different. Tickets went on sale for the Southern Ohio Indoor Music Festival, to be held in Wilmington Ohio on March 30 and 31, 2007. According to the website, I could buy on-line beginning at 12:01 …

The big weekend is upon us. We are doing something pretty different this year, staying home. For most years since we have lived here near the big city, we have fought the traffic, headed north and spend the holiday with Mother-in-law.
