The Detective and The Case of the Missing Lol
What does a police detective do after he retires? Who knows? It's a mystery.
A couple of weeks ago I was sitting at a coffee shop reading when this young girl who I had seen many times before, asked me a question that I get quite often now. She wanted to know why I am always reading real books and not e-books on Kindle or Nook, or on my... Continue Reading →
“How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts?

My daughter Lauren likes to watch out for me. As I get older, however, she is under the mistaken assumption that I can no longer take care of myself. To be fair though, I do get in my moods where I "forget" to eat. And surely I don't like taking any medications I am supposed... Continue Reading →
