Update on Presents for Pops

Thought I'd give you all an update on the Father's Day present situation.

Henry and I got Tim:

Fordlandia (a book...thanks for the idea Cherie!)
Band of Brothers DVD set
Green Day's latest CD
Chocolates and chocolate-covered macadamia nuts from Bochner

And I also got him an office voodoo kit. It's a little person-figure with pins, to torture coworkers, managers, etc. It probably wasn't the most appropriate, but it did get the biggest laugh. Henry also expressed interest in playing with Dad's "doll."

He also got to go for a bike ride, grill brats, and put together a jigsaw puzzle.

Hope he had a great Dad's day!

Crap. Sorry for the late post. Doesn't help much now, after the fact. But I think iTunes gift cards are a pretty good dad's day gift (or any day, for that matter).

Hope you guys had a great time!

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...
