Have a Slice of Pi
With all this love of Pi, it makes sense that March 14th, or 3/14 or 3.14 has become internationally known and celebrated as Pi Day. On this day, love is all a-round, and a-la-mode. It also happens to be the birthday of renowned theoretical physicist, musician, artist, mathematician and all-around brainiac Albert Einstein. Continue reading

One Gallon of Water
As we waited in line to merge onto the highway, we saw a man standing at the top of the on-ramp going from car to car asking for something. We didn’t even have any change in the ashtray. I prepared to just politely dismiss his request and drive on. Continue reading

The Ice Man
I lay on the floor in the closet with my would-be assailants on my chest. Judging by the archaic appearance of the attackers, it was obvious they hadn’t seen action in a while.

Crashing the Creche
Merchants running with their carts like peddlers at a parade, camp prostitutes trying to get a look at the baby, roman soldiers investigating the cause of the commotion, animals in an uproar and at least a few heavenly guardians in the room. The night was certainly holy, but definitely NOT silent. Now I need to find a bunch of new figures for my nativity scene! Continue reading

The Chair
The reasons a chair might be empty are numerous. At our house, we have some missing family members when we gather around our table; family members we wish were still there with us. We also miss friends who used to join us for meals when we lived far from where we are now. Continue reading

Happy Thanks Living
I know many people are having tough times right now and they don’t feel they have a lot to be thankful for. They’re right; things are really hard where they are and there may not be “a lot” to be … Continue reading
