The Long and Winding …
I wonder if anything special occurred on Sunday night in the lives of the people in the 100-plus car pileup they were in on the west side of our state on Monday morning? I wonder how they are all doing today after their long and winding event on…
January in the D!
I got up a little after 5:00 a.m. yesterday to take my walk and the weather was beautiful. The temperature was about 40 degrees. The breeze was practically non-existent. I found myself over-dressed, even with my light-weight gloves. And, by the time…
