Part 2 in a series
Ah, toys of childhood, who doesn’t remember the toys of childhood. I had this one group of toys that I played with nearly every day, and I still have this group of toys, that’s how much I loved them. When going through the attic with my mom, many things got tossed [...]

Part 1 in a series of posts
When I got up this morning I knew that my blog was waiting for a post today. However, I didn’t know what the post would cover, and then there it was “Toys R Us acquires high-end retailer FAO Schwarz.” I must say for a minute, before reading the article, [...]

So on this summer break so far I’ve had the TV on during some of my projects. There’s really not much on “daytime” television. I knew this because during the academic year I have Fridays off.

May 30, 1868 – the first time Memorial Day was observed in he USA. So why do we celebrate Memorial Day on the last Monday of May if the first celebration was on May 30, which in my research was the date established by an official order to be Memorial Day. Sometime along the way, [...]

As a child, many a summer vacation was spent at the beach. My mother grew up near Myrtle Beach and most of her immediate family still live in [...]

For those of you who think this may be a post about moving back to where you grew up or going home to visit….sorry, it’s a post about work, returning to a previous place of employment.

Is it a rut or writer’s block? My last post was about 3 weeks ago. The end of the semester had me busy with exams, grades, and taking on a temp job at a dental office – even more busy. Now that “every day is a Friday (until August 24)” I hope to find more [...]
