One day a woman’s husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn’t anymore. No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more “just one minute.” Sometimes, [...]

There was a court date earlier this week. The plaintiff, who was allowed to sign a citation, for disturbing the peace had no witnesses. The defendant had not one, but 6 witnesses stating that the alleged incident never occurred and that they plaintiff was making up more excuses to harass the defendent. Judge Hinton (we are beyond keeping silent about incompetence), despite overwhelming evidence found the defendent guilty despite 6 witnesses to one.

I have finally outgrown this book and now my children have decided that they want to forego learning all but wordpress. I’ve tried convincing them that there is power in numbers and diversity, so if I do WordPress, that leaves Blogger, Typepad and a host of other platforms to learn. They have decided though that [...]

I was a tad concerned when I saw the lineup for the movie. I was, however pleasantly surprised. The storyline was excellent though predictable. Dakota Fanning has come into her own as an actress. She definitely will not be one of those Kirsten Dunst types that chooses whatever role comes her way. Somewhere along the [...]

It was cited that Obama’s view of the world was far removed from the typical Oklahoman. 10 years ago, I wouldn’t have believed that, would have assumed that it was an excuse. I would have been angry that the national media would basically call Oklahomans a bunch of backwoods, tobacco chewing, deer-hunting, truckdriving rednecks, who didn’t think beyond where to get their next beer before the blue law took effect. After 10 years, I’m inclined to agree with the national media assessment of my reluctantly adopted home state.

I wasn’t going to write today. I had been spending the week recuperating and preparing for VD, but then I was reminded that today is 1. Friday the 13th (not that I’m superstitious) and 2. it’s “Get a Different Name Day”. With my writing “career” beginning to take off, I’ve been confronted with the idea [...]

June 12th 1967, the Virginia law banning interracial marraige was finally overturned by the Supreme Court. We call that day the National Day of Loving. How appropriate is that? My children, still find it hard to believe that there was a time when life wasn’t like it is for them now. I still remember. Some things we can’t forget.
