Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
Kim went up in the attic for something else tonight and found a box I’ve been looking for on and off for several years. Inside are three photo albums. One of them is full of baby pictures of our oldest son. It’s hard to believe how much he’s changed! Another is the album I kept…
Apparently it’s dog day (for another hour). Here’s my Bubba. You may note that Bubba is sitting on my bed, alertly looking into the hallway as if there might be an intruder. But no, more likely he’s listening to activity off in the kitchen and wondering if it would be worth giving up his spot…

Writing that first word of the day is always the hardest one. There are so many ways to procrastinate. Gotta download the e-mail, of course. Oh, and Facebook must be checked. Hmm, anything interesting on Craigslist today? Better pop over to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and see if Brett Favre has said anything new to set…
