OF LICE AND MEN
Last week, with a couple of days off in a row to look forward to, I drove a few hours to visit a friend whom I haven’t seen awhile. When I walked in the house and asked, “Whose dog?”, I got a look that made me know it had been entirely too look since I’ve visited. It had been almost a ... Read More » -

And probably gone back to bed. I don’t know if was some kind of subconscious backlash against the idea of a woman ... Read More » -

THE MEASURE OF A MAN
At the end of the day, or at the end of our days, what matters most? What are the sensations that most count in life, that most give pleasure? Why do we forget, on a daily basis, that worries and stresses from the job and from people around us actually keep us from what matters most? As a very good ... Read More » -
