The changing of the closet

Call it the changing of the seasons, the end of summer or the kickoff to a new agenda but to me it still involves the changing of the closet. Fall (well, we're nearly there) conjures up so many endings and beginnings.

When the world moves

If nothing else, this has been an earth-shaking week! First we'd been reminded from every possible media outlet that today (at least it's today as I write) is the ten year anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

Learn to smile when you repeat, God does

A woman tells her husband, "GO to the store; LAY DOWN the mulch; GET the kids from school; rent SOME videos, and finish the REST of the dishes." You can figure out what the husband hears.

Pause for Reflection

Even though he could not tell time, my three-year-old grandson was wearing a watch when I visited. Later, when I was putting on my coat to leave, I asked him what time it was. He looked at his watch blankly, then brightened.

Call it bad luck, good fortune, a dumb move or the occasion for a good chuckle - any of these descriptions could be used to describe a news item I read this week.
