≡ Ghost Hunting and Sight Seeing in Oregon - Part 1
This is part 1 of an article series. Despite a really bad experience in Oregon several years ago that resulted in a solid year of fighting in court, I decided it was time to leave the past in the past and take the plunge by heading back up the coast into Oregon. Of […]
≡ Awestricken
Hey all. I just got back from dropping the Pie Dudes off at their first residential camp (meaning they’re away from home on their own for a full week at camp). It was a very, very long 10 hour drive. Good news: I gassed up on the way back for an unbelievable $4.06 […]
≡ A Whole Lot Of Sleep Loss
Tired lioness by Tambako the Jaguar, on Flickr The Pie Dudes and I just returned from a week long trip. I think I might have finally caught up on my sleep, but I’m pretty sure I was looking like the lioness above as the beds felt about as comfortable as that log looks. Our […]
≡ Humboldt Fire: Update and Retraction
The other day I posted an update (and at that time, thought it was the conclusion) to the Humboldt Fire [click here to read the original article]. In the article, I wrote about the multi-store franchise owner of McDonalds and the claims he (a) refused to give firefighters food, (b) denied a donation request made […]
≡ Reduce and Boost - Really?
In listening to this evening’s news, there was a piece about “lawmakers addressing the increasing rise in gas prices.” My ears perked up and I got sidetracked from writing my scathing letter to the camp we were going to send the Pie Dudes to but after a series of very misfortunate events, pulled out before […]
≡ I’ll Tell You No Lies: Humboldt Fire

≡ Disney World
A continuation of the thoughts posed [here]. Between the ages of 6 mos. and 10 years, our family packed up the station wagon and headed to Silver Lake State Park in Michigan. But then in my eleventh year of life, our summer vacation plans took an abrupt turn - south. We packed up our […]
≡ California Liberal?
Perish the thought! Early on in my career I interviewed radio personalities across the country. The interviews were long and my ability to catch, then mimic, accents was quick. During one interview with a woman from New Jersey, I was accused of making fun of her. I quickly worked my charms and assured her […]
≡ Ahhhhh Summer!
Today consisted of scheduling and filling out forms for summer events and activities. Why anyone needs my email address on an emergency form is beyond me. I’m guessing it’s for notifying parents of an injury that didn’t result in emergency medical treatment. Another portion that was disturbing was the unilateral release of photos, video footage, […]
