If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I listen to a lot of podcasts, way too many I think. One of them referenced another podcast (which is how I got to “way too many”) that always ends the interview with the same question: How do you define…

In May of this year, we needed a break from our routine. We hastily threw together a trip to Fort Payne, Alabama, where we’ve stayed before. From a rented cabin in the DeSoto Falls State Park, we availed ourselves of the splendor of the woods, the river, the magnificent falls, and time filled with nothing…
NOTE: this post was published in June of 2016, but it was gone from my post listings when I went looking for it to optimize it. Fortunately, my RSS feed had published it in its entirety. The content is still timely. I recently read a suggestion that if we have nothing to hide, we have…
