Random thoughts from one looking back, forward, upward and around.
Welcome
The most important thing about me that you might want to know is that I am a Christian. Unapologetically. You'll not have to wonder when you read from day to day or occasionally what world view I'm coming from.
That said I have lived in four states and now make my home in
Lucky me to have traveled to eleven foreign countries and shame on me for not knowing any other language well enough to do more than say 'please' and 'thank you' in any of them.
I pig out on Junior Mints and am healthier now that my favorite soft drink has added vitamins to their formula.
The family? Two daughters, delights in every way and four grand daughters, ditto that. A near-perfect son-in-law (but only since no one can be really perfect) and a cat named Kat Karson, rescued from the animal shelter.
Oh yes, Jim, my good friend and husband. He's sort of retired but is still an attorney and thought it was very funny when he put a link on my blog to his favorite home-cooked recipes and then when I clicked on it it found it was empty. He is funny and wise, a reconciler and all-around good guy.
We spend a lot of time at soccer games, track meets and choral concerts.
I'm mostly retired also. I read, volunteer as a child advocate in the local court system, teach at the church and speak where ever people will gather to listen. My daughter and I lead a book discussion group and I play percussion in one of the church's worship bands.
I follow the Indianapolis Colts, the Cleveland Cavs, world soccer, and especially Big Ten football and
I try never to miss The Office and realize I've worked with or been every character on the show.

Very interesting - I caught up on you & your friend's blog. Makes me think that maybe I should get my own experience down in writing...everyone has their own story for that day, but each person thinks theirs in special. Maybe a way of coming to grips with that day.
For me, Julia, I take the memories of Marty and try, in my head, to multiply it by thousands. Thousands of traumatized people trying to make sense of a senseless act, trying to wrap their heads around understanding the enormity of the event, living with the sudden unpredictability that is life although we try to think it is not, unpredictable. You should get your story out. It is valuable and may be just the echo someone else needs to read that will bring clarity to their own experience.
Thanks for pointing to my blog, Patricia.
