| Watching the world go by |
I have always been what some would call a watcher. I guess being a writer, I've always been inclined to look at the world and find the fine details that make it special. Whether it's the beauty of a sunset or the amazing texture of an insect's wings, I've always liked to look and be amazed.

| Living Lent |
This past week we, meaning my fellow Catholics and myself, observed the first day of lent. Ash Wednesday has always been a solemn day in our family. It's the start of the no meat Fridays and trying to make it to confession more often than we have in the past few months.

| The last weeks of craziness |
I don't know if I ever thought this election would be so crazy. I guess I should have known it was going to be a rollercoster ride during the primary and fight for the Democratic presidential seat.

| A few thrills and chills |
I have never been one that likes to be scared. In fact, I'm kind of a sissy. I hate staying home alone at night, I get scared walking home alone in the dark and I rarely like watching scary movies. My brothers always liked watching the slasher films. I'd always make some excuse to slip away to my room and find something else to do.

| Deadly assault with a sausage?
|
I had to listen twice when I heard this headline come across the radio waves while I was driving to work the other day. Did they say deadly assault with a sausage?

| Home sweet home? |
I just returned from vacation in beautiful Door County. I have to admit, it was hard coming back. The week we had up north brought perfect weather and lots of sunshine. No kidding - it was sunny and in the 70s every day until our last day there. It made it the perfect environment for tons of hiking and outdoor fun. A much needed break from my life behind the desk.

| Waiting on a prayer |
I have been without a car for about a week now, and I'm starting to get a bit stir crazy. I knew I was in trouble when my front window fogged up completely, leaving me only enough of a hole to see my way to the side of the road. My real problem came when I turned off my car and a lake of antifreeze formed underneath it.

| Read any good books lately? |
I love to read, but lately it seems like there is less and less time to pick up a good book and venture off into other lands.

| Malibu of the Midwest |
We've always been the type of family to vacation close to home. When I was growing up, my dad always took the first two weeks in August off, and we would head out on our family vacation.

| The jewels in the hardware store
|
I have to admit, I used to avoid the hardware store when I was a kid. Dad would make his trips there and I'd always find somewhere else to be so I wouldn't have to go.
