Stuck with Somene Else's Garbage

While I was driving to the mall, last week, one of my neighbors called my cell phone and asked if my son could possibly take her trash can to the curb for her, since she and her husband were out of town. My son, who was sitting in the car and heard the conversation, promptly agreed to help.

We got to the mall, shopped and talked, drank coffee, ate dinner and took my daughter to the play area; by the time we got home, we pulled directly into the garage and completely forgot about the… Read More

Two Words that Make People Respond

Medicare recently published an interesting study linking public reaction to television broadcasts—after TV news outlets included a report on the flu season in their programming, there was an 8% hike in immunizations immediately following the story.

They also discovered that there was a much higher increase in immunization when two certain words were used in the story.

What where those two words?

“Delay” and “Shortage”

Lessons from Those Who Serve

I spent the past weekend in Washington DC on a trip to our nation’s capital to see the sights and celebrate my father-in-law’s birthday and father’s day. It was also a quest to see just how much fluid a human can perspire in a day and how much one can wear off the bottom of a pair of shoes when walking about 10 thousand miles in 96 hours.

It was a wonderfully tiring journey taking in all the sights, especially the special behind the scenes tour of the Capital Building,…

Drama, My Love...

“I want to feel passion, I want to feel pain. I want to weep at the sound of your name. Come make me laugh, come make me cry…just make me feel alive” ~ Joey Lauren Adams

Sometimes I don’t think we realize how much we enjoy drama – even those of us who claim to denounce it completely. We love and fear it at the same time, mixing an intoxicating cocktail that speeds the heart and inebriates the mind. Even if many of us will never own up to it, we welcome drama in our lives, for… Read More
