“All things change, and we change with them.”Please note that this blog spans a broad period of time. The intervening years have brought many things into my life, including divorce and remarriage.

For many reasons, I have chosen to let entries such as this one remain in the overall continuity of the site.

So I said to him, I said, “Bernie, you pop that gum one more time…”
and he did.

and I fired two warning shots…
…into his head.
That’s what I heard her singing tonight anyway, when I came upstairs.
