A Moment Of Introspection
So my brother CJ is at some kind of rah rah leadership conference or whatever (let’s not dwell, since this blog is about me, not him) and asked me to help him with a perception exercise. After giving him my … Continue reading

The two big events of the week, the Iowa caucuses and Groundhog Day, have me thinking. It’s sort of a Freaky Friday kind of thing, where everything is switched up and it’s hard to distinguish the top GOP candidates from … Continue reading
Stand By For Adorable Cat Post
As I have mentioned before, ad nauseum, we have four cats: Jack, Janet, Chrissy and Mrs. Helen Roper, who just goes by Helen other than in very formal settings. And now I realize it’s just been ages since I wrote about Cat … Continue reading
