Just haven’t felt much like posting, though I did make an attempt to do a post yesterday, like fellow blogger JustJ did the other day, after playing around with Vista’s voice recognition software. Incredible in comparison to Dragon Dictate from several years ago, though I suppose if that software is still around it is at
In early March of 2004, I was introduced to the terminology ‘grief monster’. This was a term used by other widows and widowers to indicate their feelings after loss. Using the words grief monster seemed to indicate a battle needed to be fought with grief. I didn’t think that was the case then and I

Does this mean I got a part? If not, I will turn in my license to act tomorrow. Truthfully, I was the only male at tryouts. That is not to say that there were not other audition dates. In fact, this was the last one and the best time for me to go. The play

This may be a difficult post to read. It was certainly hard to write. No happy or witty sayings in this post. This is a story of life, death, mourning and maybe life again. At the beginning of this year many wonderful things were in the making. My 3rd daughter had her wedding scheduled for
