A Letter To My One Day Rescue
Dear Rudy, There were 2 of you. Just running in and out of traffic during rush hour on a busy thoroughfare. Almost identical, gorgeous little beasts. I remember how tired I was, after a swim and a session with the weights in the gym, not to mention the groceries.

Who Am I? It's Complicated and Controversial
How do I condense 50 years into a few paragraphs? It's complicated. Oh, sorry, you want to know more than that? Okay, well, I suppose the best place to start is at the beginning.

Insomniatic Ramblings
I lay silent, watching minutes on the clock. They stand still, As my heart thumps loudly in my ear. My mind pauses to cackle wickedly,

The "Me" You Deserve
Reconnecting with the love of your life after 20 years should be among the happiest times in a person's life. And it was for me. But it was also, and continues to be, a time of sadness, regret and guilt.

Natural Skin Care at 50
The BIG FIVE - O! It's one of those milestones in life that makes you think. And it's one I'm reaching in a couple of days. My mind has been consumed with reflection and anticipation. I'm excited for the years to come, but I'm also pondering the years that have gone by. Realistically speaking, half, or almost half, of my life is behind me and it went by in the blink of an eye.

Maddie's Place
Maddie stood in the tiny studio apartment. It was empty. She called out, "hello?" "Hello," a faint echo returned her call.

Rebuilding Myself From the Ground Up
We've all done stupid things in life, right? Those decisions we make in our youth that we think are so great, only to learn your parents were right all along? Well, I probably made more than most, but that's where my story begins, decades ago, and one "brilliant" decision.

Legacy
As I stood at my father's gravesite, watching him slowly being lowered into the ground, I heard the muffled sobs of friends and realtives alike. One of my aunts, a tall, broad beast of a woman with a flair for the dramatic and a desperate need for attention cried out, "I can't believe it, I just can't believe it!"

Army Boots and Chocolate Cake
Saturdays were my favourite day of the week. There were morning cartoons to enjoy as well as a big breakfast, bacon, eggs, pancakes and all the trimmings. My mouth would start watering the second my father pulled out the electric griddle from the little pantry in our PMQ. It was really more of a closet in the kitchen, but it served the purpose.

If These Walls Could Talk
If these walls could talk. People say it all the time. It's an old saying and like with any old saying, it got to be that way because there's truth in it.
