Chris here, guest-blogging again. I like to run. Not fast. More jog than sprint. More wander than race. I’ve been doing this, on average, twice a week since 2003. Sometimes longer distances or times, sometimes inside on the treadmill when its hot, cold, dark, or wet. It has become my favorite “me” thing to do […]
The Fruit of the Sea.
A guest post, as written by my husband Chris. All that I ever learned about shrimping, I learned by watching Forrest Gump. That all changed on Saturday. My uncle Leo invited me to go along with him and his neighbor Doug on a beautiful mild Saturday morning. Since I have a 6 month old son, […]
The Ephod and A Godmother’s Magic.
This is what I promised my husband that Noah could wear for his baby dedication: And this is what my husband CHOSE for my son to wear for baby dedication: I’d like to give him the opportunity to explain himself. So I like to think that I’m a fairly easygoing, reasonable guy. I don’t […]

Well, life got busy, summertime came and went, and somehow, three months flew by with her bed in the “make it work” transitional state. But then, Sunday night was The […]

So today, Chris is guest blogging to share a couple of short stories from their day. It Takes Guts To Be a Parent. There are sensitive subjects that you have […]
Going Postal.
This post is a guest post, written by my Dad. You can read his last guest post here. First, let me say that I am, for the most part, a person who appreciates the various functions of the different levels of government. For instance, I don’t have to worry too much about national security, knowing […]
The Woeful Tale of Laguna Seca Girl.
This is a guest post by my Dad. He told me this story a few weeks ago, and I have been cracking up about it ever since. In a sympathetic way, of course. So I asked him to write it up for me, which he graciously agreed to do. I find it fitting and an […]
