Gift-giving advice

Pssst. Everyone. I have a question. While Tim's out of town and not paying attention to my blog ranting...

Do you have any ideas for him for Father's Day?

I have a stellar plan for his 40th birthday coming up in July. But I'm drawing a blank for Father's Day.

We all know his obsessions: cycling and photography. He's also a Packers and Brewers fan. He enjoys books and movies and documentaries about history and politics. He loves being outdoors, camping and canoeing and hiking and such.

So help me. Any ideas, no matter how off the wall, will be appreciated. E-mail them to me, so just in case he's dinking with his iPod Touch, the secrets won't be revealed.

We're so sneaky, you and me.

Hope you come up with some good suggestions. And maybe an "extra" that you can pass along to us. After all, it's a special birthday!
Love, mom

Find him a friend and send him canoeing in the Boundary Waters.

Amy, I have an idea but don't know your email address and didn't see a readily apparent way to email you from your blog. I'm at izoofan2 AT hotmail DOT com.

So, I Changed My Mind

More than four years ago, the blog and I parted ways. I needed a change. A whole lot happened in my world since then. I switched jobs a couple times. My kid went from an elementary school tween to a teenage high schooler. We built a new house and moved. Both my parents and my sister have passed. The world around me changed as well. Mass shootings, racism, the #metoo movement, a misogynistic bigoted narcissist in the White House ... go ahead, add to the list. Toss your woes into this dumpster fire we call 2019.  I appreciate my previous sentiment, that I was no longer wandering. But let's be honest, we're all trying to find our way through this mess. I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
