Putting to Rest an Old Ghost

I found an old crush from elementary school. I didn’t find him on Facebook. I did it the old-fashioned way. I road my bike passed his house seven times a day until one day he finally came out to get his mail and I said, “Warren? Warren Beatty? Fancy meeting you here!” Okay. Not really. That’s the OLD old-fashioned way. I internet stalked and I found my first Asian crush with the famous American actor’s name when I was doing research for a manuscript I was writing. I was hovering over a very cha… Continue

Soldier Trades M16 for Peace

At 15, most of Jason’s friends had dropped out of school. At 17, Jason was thinking about dropping out too. He found himself sitting in school suspension in October of his senior year of high school for skipping too many days of school. He plotted his escape by telling the teacher he wanted to check out the colleges who were recruiting students in the gymnasium that day. Jason wasn’t interested in college. This was just a way to get out of suspension. The first booth he came to was a Marine recr… Continue

Blogging?

Don't really know much about this whole blogging thing. Sitting at home on my computer checking out all of the goings on in the community (mine at home) and the web community. My children are off to school safely. My daughter being a Junior in high school is getting ready for all of the goings on in her Senior year. Should she take her ACT's now? Should she wait for her Senior year? Does she really want to take her ASVAB and join the military? That has been a passion of hers for a while, along w… Continue

Thank a Veteran Today!

Today is Veteran's Day. At war or at peace time our service men and women serve their country. Many are overseas and many more are here in the US; still serving, reservist or retired. My personal thanks go to Major Darrel Robinson, USMC. He is my brother-in-law, served 3 tours of duty, and now works for the USMC in the South East Region. Almost everyday, my son will say, I love Uncle Darrel, he keeps us safe and is a good man. Thank you! Continue

Cool Holiday Gift That Supports the Boy Scouts - and Military Troops

Full disclosure - I work for Trail's End popcorn (the brand the Boy Scouts sell). We have a new website - www.OrderPopcorn.com - where you can order popcorn tins for holiday gifts.

Another cool thing you can do on the site is order popcorn to be sent to U.S. military troops serving all around the world; popcorn shipments will be going out to the military for the holida… Continue
