august rushes past September’s starting line then drifts into scarlet
‘Sugar Plum Fairy Road Kill’
Here is our beloved dog, Tiki. I hate to call her a dog. She is more people than canine and one of my best friends. Always chipper, never moody, almost always obedient, willing to cuddle at any given moment, never demanding, I have few companions like her. What is surprising about our relationship is that everyone who…

Young people are returning to school and the routine that will dictate their lives for the next…

A Love Story
Today is our 25th anniversary, so I thought a love story would be in order… A 55 pound tortoise who lives in the zoo in Jerusalem, Israel, is paraplegic, that is her hind legs don’t move. But recently custom fit with a skateboard, Aravat isn’t staying home anymore. Now she ventures out all the time and has attracted a…
Obama on the Bible…
