Sometimes, Round Two: Day 39 of 365 – Relief and Sadness!
Sometimes Relief Is Draped With Sadness! “Plop, plop! Fizz, fizz! Oh, What A Relief It Is!” That catchy little phrase found air time on televisions all over the country back in the 1960’s pitching the positive effects of Alka Seltzer for upset stomach.

Sometimes, Round Two: Day 11 of 365 – The Mistakes We Make!
Sometimes The Mistakes We Make Have A Longer Half Life Than We Wish! Mistakes! We all make ’em! From time-to-time, we all wish that we could take back the words said or the deeds done. We have all found ourselves standing in the middle of the stage under the spotlight, blinded by the knowledge that […]

Sometimes, Round Two! Day One of 365 – This Confusing Life!
