Daily existence seems to be throwing memories at me from all angles. The most recent was when I broke an egg into the pan, this time not letting it fall down the side of the stove.

I could look at those for days, especially... Read More

Tomorrow it will be 40 years since my Dad passed away.  I simply cannot put into words how much I love him - and miss him!
He was an athlete all his life.  As a young boy he was marble Champ of the city he lived in.  He also played baseball and got to go see Babe Ruth.   He was Captain of his High School basketball team & they even "kept" him a year longer so he could stay & play MORE basketball!  After all, there were those state championships.  As a you...
