I have noticed a trend. I am sure you have noticed it too. Disaster happens. Blame game follows. It doesn’t seem to matter what the disaster is either. The latest is the winter storm in Atlanta that stranded thousands of people on the highways. People are blaming the governor, the mayor, and the DOT for … Continue reading Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20
Milk and Bread…and Peanut Butter
For all my non-southern friends...better known as Yankees… You laugh at us, heck even I laugh at us, but there is a reason southerners run to the store for milk and bread at the mention of winter weather. It is the Ice Storm of 1973. I was born and raised in Atlanta. Therefore I am … Continue reading Milk and Bread…and Peanut Butter
Dear Racers
We knew when you signed up for this race that there would be adventure. And adventure, by definition has danger included within it; otherwise it wouldn’t be adventure. In fact, the reason many of us, as parents struggled to send you all the way around the world, was specifically because of the danger. We knew … Continue reading Dear Racers

Snow Day with Snow Dog
It is a snow day without snow. I have to say my disappointment was significant, but not as much so as Bella’s. (Our Siberian Husky) The sheer coldness of the air had her heading, once again, for Alaska. I am convinced it is her goal in life to run in the Iditarod. Each year when … Continue reading Snow Day with Snow Dog
