Noon Echoes
The alarm clock blared for the second time. Nancy reached over and found the button while groggily lifting her head from the pillow. Morning was here again. Yawning, she shuffled across the cool hard floor and found her way to the restroom. Last night’s coffee had to go somewhere. Morning coffee would soon be coming to take its place. Two cups and a stiff bagel later, she was on her way to work. Cars appeared and … Read entire article »

What’s in a Name?
“Monday’s child is fair of face. Tuesday’s child is full of grace. Wednesday’s child is …” Do you remember the next part? If you were born on Wednesday, perhaps you do. “Wednesday’s child is full of woe.” And so on goes the little poem that most people have heard at least once.

Toy Soldiers and Tin Men
When I was a boy, Christmas meant a whole lot more to me than perhaps to my friends. The reason is that I grew up poor. I jokingly tell people that every time my Dad got a raise at work, they increased the poverty level index also. So Christmas was that special time of the year when we received presents out of the blue. We didn’t get the really exorbitant gifts. And we did get clothes sometimes. But we still were delighted to receive the “abundance” of toys and games and treasures which I could use to pay off my mortgage if I had saved them to sell on Ebay nowadays. Christmas wasn’t much about giving. True, we did give occasionally. But on a very limited income, we kids didn’t have a … Read entire article »

Abbott and Costello. George Burns and Gracie Allen. Tim Conway and Don Knotts. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Batman and Robin. Adam and Eve. Orville and Wilbur Wright. Moe, Larry and Curly. Suddenly our minds start recognizing the names because they are put in association with someone else who was intricately tied to their place in history. We laugh with the 3 Stooges or The Apple Dumpling Gang. We read about the exploits of Lewis and Clark. … Read entire article »

Should I Follow a Spirit Guide
It was in the summer of 1990. In about a month, I planned to be married. Happily absorbed in pleasant thoughts like this, I was returning home from the city to the Chattanooga area from Cleveland where I was working. It was evening. The sun was bright in the west. Chattanooga had not yet endured the years of perpetual roadwork which eventually led to I-75 being as wide as it is now at Volkswagen Drive. There were two lanes. As I was just about to top the hill coming from the Ooltewah side down into Chattanooga, a voice inside clearly spoke, “Switch lanes.” I was traveling in the fast lane that evening, and without hesitation, I switched to the right lane. After clearing the hill, I looked in horror as a car … Read entire article »
