Hi all ........ I've not been posting much (or at all!) for quite a while, as I've been trying to work on a few personal issues. Issue #1 - I've been 3 weeks sober. I know I've gone thru this "give up the vodka" thing before, and I'm not saying this could be IT for …

Happy Birthday, Jim Coleman, in heaven
My father, Jim Coleman, would've been 79 today, had he not died 13 years ago of a massive heart attack. How I miss his voice ... "Hi, daughter ...." and visiting him. There's a hole in my life where he should be. The photo above is dated June 1961 - 14 months before I was …

LGB! – Game 7, Stanley Cup Finals

Route 66 – photos
A year ago, my sister and I headed out on an EPIC road trip from St. Louis, MO to Flagstaff, AZ, following a Route 66-ish route. Due to time constraints, there's no way we could follow Route 66 itself --- it would take months to wander through each and every small town. That said, we …
