I don’t brush my teeth at night. Sometimes I yell. I can’t reconcile the checkbook. Before company comes, I run through the house putting piles of stuff in garbage bags which will be “stored” in the guest bathtub until the company leaves. Life. It’s not perfect. Those of us who participate in life aren’t perfect either. Far from it. Sometimes it’s wildly funny. Other times it leads us down paths of difficult discovery. I hope this compilation of weekly newspaper columns is a fun and enjoyable celebration of LIFE with all its ups and downs.
