Snow

An awesome wintery storm is blowing across the country right now, blowing quite literally.  It hit Buffalo the other night.  As a result, we got about 1-2 feet of snow at our place.

Snow, that’s one thing I love about living in Buffalo.  Buffalo is not cold though some may think so.  Minnesota – that’s [...]

And So Begins the Holiday Season

Lots to be thankful for.  Sometimes, we get so into the notion of the “dinner,” we forget the “Thanksgiving.”

This Thanksgiving I was thankful for much:

I guess I should say, Robert Toland was [...]

Order in a Chaotic World

I was responding to a friend tonight and wrote about being a parent. Re-reading it, wow, this sounded like Wilson the philosopher, circa 1993, back when I was “deep” and could still write, or had the time to, or cared to. I miss writing.  At any rate, I thought I’d toss it out on [...]
