We all have our masters. Sometimes we comply, some times we assimilate. It's all in the art of negotiation. It all starts at birth. I was reminded of that as I listen to an old Dr. James Dobson radio broadcast about "The Strong Willed Child". It's hard to work with the inflexible but we all have,...

I can't say as that I know why Timmothy wrote this strip last year unless Carol cooked up a really fine meal that day (which is entirely possible as she is a really good cook).

Filmed on January 17th after several days of heavy fog and temps below freezing. Yes, it is hard to imagine fog in the winter but it is very common in our area. It gives a "flocking" effect to all the trees. It's very beautiful.This is shot in my front yard which faces Historic Corbett Field wher...

Sage advice from Titus and Philemon. Be yourself... and hopefully there is only ONE of you in that head of yours.For all the "youngsters" here: Sybil was a bestselling book in the 1970's and was adapted as a 1976 television mini-series and a feature-length docudrama in 2007. As stated in the gra...

As a retired Real Estate professional I know taking a day off is rare and if you are like me it can even be uncomfortable. That being said when we see an empty day off on the schedule and we decide to make the most of it by relaxing at home, or even doing a few chores for ourselves, it comes as a...

Unlike Titus in Timmothy's comic strip I gave up on Friday the 13th and other superstitions a long, long time ago.
