10 MayHolding Hands with a Stranger

I grew up skinny. I remember as a high school senior getting measurements for a band uniform and my pant measurements were 30” x 30”.

22 AprSoft Rain on a Canvas Roof

My dad was the sky in the world of my life—even if you weren’t looking you knew he was there. Like most fathers he had a job he had to do. Unlike most fathers he always found a way to include me in his job. I was with him for entire summers at scout camps. […]

19 JulThis Grandpa Has His Own YouTube Gaming Channel

14 OctI Only Have Three Teenagers Left

The other day I had just awoken from a much needed nap. I only had about an hour-and-a-half before my next obligation and thought I might be able to get a page written on my novel. A page may not be much, but write a page a day you can have a novel done in […]
