WINTER AT THE JERSEY SHORE
Spring is here and slowly slipping into summer. We have some very changing weather here in Colorado. Denver is notorious for having a snow storm in late May and a major heat wave in April.

TAKING ON DOMINIC
Hello and welcome back to my blog. Most of us can remember at least one unforgettable character from our middle school years that we either despised or had an altercation with. Mine was a kid named Dominic. And yes, we sparred. Being a scrawny little guy through most of my teen-aged years did not allowContinueContinue reading “TAKING ON DOMINIC”
