Jersey Shore
Image via Wikipedia I’m going to the Jersey Shore. My mind is only on seeing the ocean, dipping my feet in the water and taking a deep breath. I’ve been working a long time without a break. Here’s a little advice: take care of yourself first. Take the time you need to recharge. If the…

Sunday Morning Musing
I live in a county of 10,000 people. I like it here. I had lived in Chicago and enjoyed it there too. Home is still Geneva Iowa though. I have fun visiting Chicago and love the restaurants, and friends and museums and coffee everywhere. But there is something to be said for the quiet mornings,…
I Worked In An Adult Bar – Lessons Learned
Image by Bashed via Flickr I must have embarassed myself a lot as a kid, because I don’t remember being so embarassed as an adult. That’s not to say I don’t remember doing stupid things. I do them on a pretty regular basis. My friend Clemmie would say “it’s all a part of growing up…
