When I initially started this blog in November of 2003, as a Caringbridge site, it was a quick, convenient way for me to keep friends and family updated on Kendrie, after her leukemia diagnosis. Throughout her twenty-six months of chemo, it became a true emotional outlet for me …. letting me put voice to my [...]
OK, so this is more of a general-opinion question, because I’m curious to know what others think ….. In your opinion, are Twitter and Facebook replacing blogging? The reason I ask is because I posted a blog entry here yesterday, commenting on Kendrie’s 4-yr off treatment mark, and so far, have gotten about ten comments. [...]
If you’ve been so kind as to follow me over here from Blogger, I sincerely thank you. If you’ve been so kind in years past as to add me to your own blogroll, I sincerely thank you, and respectfully ask that you update the link to show this current address. I’m hardly a Dooce or [...]

You know how sometimes in life you hang on to things, or ideas or beliefs, even when you can’t remember why? You have no idea how a silly little tradition even started, yet it continues? Like wearing a favorite shirt on Fridays, or eating all your fruit before your meat, or obsessively lining all your [...]
OK, as you probably noticed (or not) I changed the layout/background on this blog a few weeks ago. To be honest, I can’t even remember why I did it …. I know there was a reason … something to do with Blogger …. holy cow, I’m pre-senile-dementia. Anyway, who cares why? Not me. My quick [...]
