Out running errands today I was honked at by some mad woman in an SUV. This wasnt a little courtesy tap honk. This was a lay on the horn, honk your heart out wave your hands and yell honk. There was on coming traffic and I couldnt move forward. She was behind me and couldnt see the traffic … but
It snowed Sunday night and stuck around all day today. It was cold and dreary … those gray miserable clouds hanging around all day denying the sun any face time. Not looking forward to all those winter days strung one after another for the next few months. More than anything, I miss the sunshine.
At lunch the other day, we remembered seven of the ten commandments. Here are all ten: One: I am the Lord your God and you shall have no other gods before me. Two: You shall not take Gods name in vain. Three: Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. Four: Honor your father and mother Five: Thou shall not murder
At lunch last week the topic landed on the Ten Commandments. Not sure how we got there but two topics came up. First, most of the Ten Commandments are things you should NOT do.

On the way home tonight I noticed a house with Christmas lights. Yicks! It’s only October 7. We’re not even into double digits in October, not even close to Halloween, much less Thanksgiving. This is *way* too much “holiday creep” for me!
Yesterday was my anniversary at Malloy. I have been employed there for 23 years. Today I realized I’ve been employed there more than half my life. That’s a long time. I started thinking about all the things I really like about Malloy and reflecting on how I felt about working there so long. PROUD – There have been days where
The Dalai Lama is coming to Ann Arbor this weekend. There’s been a buzz all week long: articles in the paper, people trying to get tickets, and other events scheduled around the Dalai Lama’s scheduled talks. The scheduled talks actually come in a couple of segments. The paid event is six hours, broken up in two hour chunks Saturday and
A couple of weeks ago I filled both my bird feeders; one with a mixed seed and the other with thistle. I have a fondness for the finches, who like the thistle.

Last Thursday was the first day of spring but it wasn’t until Monday when the robin showed up. It’s always been a sign of spring for me … that first robin. I also saw a female cardinal out my home office window. And, the birds, in general, have been singing for a week or two. Hopefully they know something we
