Looking back on SoCks of Yesteryear

Ever notice that life seems to pass by faster than you expect, and when you stop to look at it, more of it has passed than you might have thought?  No?  Well, kid, give it time. ;-)

Mental Meanderings On Emotion: Love

Love is a curious thing. 

                                  I know of nothing so complex

and yet that happens so naturally - 

sometimes so quickly we had no idea it was coming - 

and yet has such an impact on the lives of humankind. 

The Sock We Wish We Could Unravel

Most of us have things in life we wish we could take back, or have never have done.

Some of us have more than one thing.

To My Young Friends . . . A SoCk Your Own Size

"An idiot . . .
A fool . . .
A fumbler . . .
A drool . . .
