Continued from part 4 I’ve been home for over a week now. Every day I try to do something to get my strength back. It is difficult. Chris is slowly recovering as well. One day I changed the sheets. I yelled a lot at Chris. He looked scared.The next day I cleaned the bathroom.The next …
Kavanaugh – FBI Investigation is Fake News
What do you think has been accomplished now that the FBI has reopened the background investigation on Judge Kavanaugh? Really. It appears that the Democrats seem validated. The Republicans, who fought so hard against the investigation seem…. indifferent. The FBI will interview Kavanaugh and Ford collaborators. These interviews will focus only on the current allegations …
Not Dead Yet! The Deep Creases of Agism
“Mom, Tyler asked if you were old yet. He said he can’t imagine you ever getting old.” My 32-year-old son was visiting an old neighborhood friend on a recent out of state trip. This was part of their conversation. At first I was amused because, well, girls just want to have fun. But I haven’t …
Due Diligence
Choices. It isn’t always about the lesser of two evils, but right now it sure feels that way. We all, hopefully, have a wide range of friends with an equally wide range of political views. Perhaps some civilly discuss their differing views, but that has not been my experience. Some may invest the time and …

An Old Business, A New Start
When I began this company almost 10 years ago, I wanted to name it reminisce. Unfortunately at the time, that business and domain name was already taken. I stewed over that until Ben came up with the name Reminesse, the essence of remembering. I liked it then and I still do. Thanks Ben! Now I …
Curiosity is Not Courage
I’ve been writing. And I’ve come to understand the importance of writing every day. You risk losing the flow of writing in the absence of the daily current. In re-reading this script, well, it, the story feels choppy, kind of like riding through river rapids. It can be exhilarating, but you can also get off …
Pride and Prejudice
Saturday, Ciera and I watched Pride and Prejudice for her birthday. My girls and I kind of like that movie. It went along with what I’ve been thinking a lot about lately. This thing called love. And I readily admit I am a little slow on the uptake so forgive me, but…. My thoughts begin …
Health Care Reform
I do not even try to pretend to understand the political issues being bantered back and forth between parties, families and friends. Everyone is so heated and convinced that the “other side” means harm to our freedoms and country. With all the noise and rhetoric, I feel I am not getting an objective point of …
