  • Happy Easter – Trick or Treat!

    Today is Easter Thursday, Maundy Thursday, Holy Thursday, Thursday of Mysteries (I like that one!) and in Sweden – skärtorsdag. In the U.S. there are church services which end with […]

  • Run!

    I actually screamed “RUN!” this past weekend and meant it. It’s not often you get to do that (which is a good thing).  It’s something I make fun of in […]

  • I’m old

    This is me on my 38th birthday.  I have arms growing out of my head and a door to my stomach where I can put cake.  Turning older isn’t so […]
