What is it? watching too much Law & Order, or CSI, I’m thinking my son is looking into DNA and criminalogy study. Apparently, there are 2 kinds of forensics. Not to say Ethan won’t be studying DNA and criminal law — as a matter of fact, he will be earning a Boy Scout merit badge […]

Saturday was a fairly quiet day. David, of course worked, and Ethan went over to a friend’s house. I had worked until 8:00 Thursday and Friday night out to the office to get the “end of the quarter” fuel report done…or at least my part of it. Its not bad when you keep up with […]

Since my mom and I lived with her parents, I had a close relationship with my grandparents. My grandfather died when I was in the 2nd grade, so the memories of him are fuzzy around the edges, and not quite as clear as those of my grandmother. But, I do remember him to be a […]
