Growing up, there were very few cartoons in the newspaper that I made sure to catch on a regular basis.  The only one that seems worth the time was The Far Side (created by Gary Larson).   Its twisted sense of humor was appealing and seemed miles above the other scribblings in the paper.  Fast forward 15 years and there [...]

I’ve been living in Los Angeles for a little over a year now.  You can read a bit more about my exodus from South Carolina out here in this post, but here are 8 things that I’ve come to understand since I arrived:

A single day of rainfall in Los Angeles is the equivalent to a single day of snow in [...]

As I sat in the dim room at the Cornerstone hospice watching my mother cope with the continuous stream of brutal pain from her final bout of cancer, I can’t see my mother anymore.  She’s frail, tired and wisps in and out of consciousness.  She sees us and hear us, but has lost the ability to respond to our questions [...]

- Took a trip to Florida to see the family [...]

Wow, I’m incredibly lax at the updates these days.
