I placed the quarter in the hand of Uncle Sam and hit its trigger and the coin dropped down into the open bag below clicking to the bottom of the bank. It was a fun to save in a similar way my grandparent’s generation had. While it taught me the tendency to save throughout my […]
We mark our lives in time by the passage of time. We celebrate birthdays and anniversaries and if we should hit longevity in our experiences, it generally involves many other people acknowledging the moment in our live. In the United States, collectively, we just passed a marker in television history. The TV police drama series […]
Have you ever been in a room, and someone walks in and with your body you feel in your center mass of your chest a quiver. As they draw closer to you, the disturbance within increases in its frequency of movement. Of course, exposing this in a public situation would be uncomfortable, so instead you […]
There are times I find myself looking for something that had eluded me. In childhood, one of my favorite Saturday morning shows was “The Land of the Lost.” In the story line, humans fell through a crack in space and time to the period and place where they had to exist with dinosaurs. I am […]
