Mother's Day
Sunday is Mother’s Day. The modern “holiday” of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in Grafton, West Virginia.

Thoughts on a foggy Thursday.
Today is the National Day of Honour for our troops who served — and died — during the mission to Afghanistan.

A persistent whining sound.
Lately, I have noticed a persistent whining sound coming from my computer. Further investigation -- trying different computers and devices in different locations -- has shown me that it is not my computer that is at fault, but the internet itself.

HANG. UP. AND. DRIVE. (updated)
Seriously. I am so very tired hearing people complain about young people being on their cell phone all the time. Yes, young people have adopted cell phones with unbridled enthusiasm.

Thoughts on a Sunny Afternoon.
Brighter days ahead. Once again, I have let far too much time lapse between columns. Once again, I apologize. It seems as though I will have some extra time on my hands for the foreseeable future.

Merry Christmas
You may be aware of a continuing controversy regarding the appropriate salutation to offer at this time of year. There are quite a number of people who continue to express their annoyance at policies requiring the use a non-religious greeting.

Winter. Again?
Yes, it seems that winter is upon us. Again. I keep hoping that “global warming” will result in the elimination of the coldest of seasons, and the (ugh!) snow that comes with it. In all honesty, I don’t mind winter.

Thankfulness
Once again, I apologize for the delay in getting a new column posted. This time I have a farily good excuse -- I have been quite busy working full-time teaching music at a local high school.

Family
This was a meme someone posted on Facebook, recently. Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are.
