  • When the Universe Whispers, I Listen…now

    As I mentioned earlier, I bought a motorcycle and I have loved riding my motorcycle since the day I bought it. Simply loved it.

A semi-truck raced through a yellow-almost-red light at…

    Before I begin I have to issue a language alert…in this entry I use language that includes the F-bomb and I also use the Lord’s name in vain. If you are sensitive about this kind of language, take a pass. If not, read on for a good laugh. On our drive home late this afternoon…
