Help us remove some awkward!
You’re too early for the dinner party. We all know that feeling. You pull up to the house. There’s only one other car there. You check the calendar. Did you get the time right? The address? Sure does look right. Did you really need three dozen brownies for this thing? You don’t know these people […]
Would you please go away?
That sounds rude, doesn’t it? But it’s not meant to be; I’ll explain in a moment. I’ve been church-hopping recently. It has been fun and inspiring.

Cyndi and I recently returned from some vacation in the desert. We rested, ate great food, sat in a hot tub, hiked, visited Joshua Tree National Park and, of course, we golfed. Cyndi enjoys the game as much as I do and, by the way, was POUNDING her drives! My high point was a hole-in-one. […]

Stop spending your money at Costco!
Maybe I’m the only one, but have you ever got to the checkout at Costco, heard the cashier tell you how much your bill is, and (almost audibly) said, “That’s gonna cost how much? All I came in to buy was a few groceries!” It’s called Costco Treasure Hunting according to their website, and it […]
