I don’t think about my childhood all that often, almost as if my life began in college. (I’ve been thinking about it more lately for some reason.) I was driving past an elementary school a little while back and it brought up a painful memory, which brings us to this post.
Greg was my best friend between eighth and eleventh grade. We did all kinds of things, having our share of fun, and…
Today was the unveiling of my latest little child support guideline spreadsheet. It’s the day I finally get around to setting it up with the new Federal Withholding formulas for the new tax year and contact the folks on my mailing list.

Still, the air feels much drier than usual, giving us a brief taste of cool, crisp…
This one’s for Beth, our resident amateur astronomer.
Newsvine / AP:
Astronomers had thought Saturn’s rings were cosmically young, likely born some 100 million years ago from leftovers of a meteoric collision with a moon, based on data by NASA’s Voyager spacecraft in the 1970s.
However, new data from the orbiting international Cassini spacecraft suggest the rings existed as far…
I’ve been avoiding the local news lately, so it was news to me when Cheryl told me about that storm near Puerto Rico – the one I hear was designated “Subtropical Storm Olga” about thirty minutes ago.
Somewhere I heard this is mid-December, but I can just look outside at my thermometer and dismiss this as a crazy rumor. The needle is getting way to close to 90F for this to…
