Wrestling with Cards
When it comes to communication, I am a pathetic representative of my generation. I’d rather send an email than stick a letter in the mail. I’d rather text than call. I quit giving cards with gifts to the family because they opened the card long enough to read who the...
Maybe It’s Frozen
The other day, I opened our upright freezer and watched the Abominable Snowman ski down the ice and into the bottom drawer. Hmm, I thought, maybe it’s time to defrost. Take pity on my family. Decry my lack of character. But I like defrosting a freezer as much I like...
Goats in Love, Part 3
Every fall, when the sweet scent of our goat ladies fills the air, Rocket the buck lifts his massive head and lets the perfume of females push any semblance of wisdom out of his brain. He is focused on romance and nothing else matters. Like fences, for example. Fences...

Taking a Break
I've enjoyed sharing some stories with you on this website but now I'm going to take a break for a while. I have several big projects looming and I want to get a handle on them. I hope to take the stories I've shared and compile them into a small book. You'll hear...
How to Find the Perfect Cat
A friend recently asked me for advice about bringing a cat into her home. This alone put me on alert since my knowledge of cats is limited to our barn cats plus the kitten we rescued a few months ago. Since our rescued kitten turned into a friendly but ferocious tiger...
