I need a change. I have been thinking about it for quite awhile and I am almost ready for it. I have gotten too comfortable with my lot in life and I feel a change is coming in my old aching and decrepit bones. After all I have been back in my own home for a little over a month now with few deviations. I have a bit of the wanderlust in me. And I think I owe it to my great great uncle Rollo Walter Brown.

By · 17 Comments
I was just thinking that times have changed. I make no bones about my age. I am 51 going on 52.

The New Cause
This month has been fabulous for Comments for a Cause. Even though WordPress has instituted some weird changes that have made it difficult for folks to leave comments at times you guys hung in there and made 418 comments.

I have a special cause for April. Seems that I always find just the right one … [Read more...]
