I was driving down to Woods Hole, Massachusetts from my home in Connecticut Friday evening. The kids were fast asleep in the back, snuggled in their car seats; my son with his face planted in a bag which contained his most prized possessions (those elite toys which won his favor to make the weekend journey) [...]

It was a warm… very warm (actually, hot as hell) early summer day in 1981. I was standing off to the side of a concert shell in a park in downtown Orlando, Florida; Lake Eola Park to be exact. There was a breeze but it didn’t help much… the hot air would push against my [...]

A friend recently commented on one of my posts in which I criticized people who were closed minded. In particular, the friend wanted to know if I thought it was wrong for someone to be firm and unbending when it comes to high principles. Of course a person should stick to the truth when they [...]

She was frustrated by a close friend who preaches a very strict Christian doctrine, which expresses itself as very judgmental and negative toward anyone she feels is not a “good” Christian or any behavior which she feels is in opposition to her own beliefs.

Okay, so I have a friend and he told me this interesting story about something that happened to him. One day he had had an argument with his wife. This was nothing unusual (unfortunately) but it had been a particularly bad fight and he was really twisted. He got into his car and slammed the [...]

Several weeks ago the family was sitting around the dinner table having dinner and my three year old son asked me, “Where’s your Daddy?” The conversation went something like this; “Daddy, where’s YOUR Daddy?” “My Daddy’s dead.”, I replied. “Oh… Who killed him?” “No one killed him, he died.” I said. “Oh… Did a vampire [...]
