Thoughts and Observations:

  • I Wasn’t Ready For This

    I Wasn’t Ready For This

    This is the post I have not been looking forward to writing…even though I knew I would have to at some point. My mother passed away August 8th, 2025. She was 84. Not to get too deep into things..she had been managing many health issues over the past few years. For some of you, I Read more

  • A New Experience of Easter

    A New Experience of Easter

    I will confess to all of you that religion and I are not the best of friends. It’s for no reason in particular. It is that sitting in a church every Sunday has not always been my first choice since the moment I was able to choose. This year, I experienced something quite beautiful on Read more

I say that because when I went to college at Clemson University my declared major was…chemical engineering. That was not my destiny I would later Read more

  • Getting the Band Back Together: Sunset

    Getting the Band Back Together: Sunset

    And just like that…it was over. When it became apparent to me that our group of friends — expanded by spouses and children — needed to come together after so many years, it never dawned on me how much we still mean to one another. Let’s face it…life happens. But…who we take along with us Read more
