My Big Fat Summer Vacation and the Summer of Familial “Love”

Posted on March 18, 2011 by ZephyrLiving

As a child, I probably had some of the best summer vacations ever. We didn’t go to Disney World or Paris. We didn’t go to see Broadway shows in New York or go on walkabout in Australia. We did better … Continue reading →

My Private Tsunami

Posted on March 12, 2011 by ZephyrLiving

I’m thinking about careers in which being argumentative is a plus. There are always the day show host slots–bringing people on to television and having them duke out their problems physically or verbally. There’s always the legal profession, of course. … Continue reading →

Shades of Blue and Grey

Posted on March 8, 2011 by ZephyrLiving

I was waiting today at the offices at PHS, and there were only ancient magazines to read. I can’t stand all the celebrity hype, so there was no way I was going to read two-year-old People magazines. I picked up … Continue reading →

Oh, Daddy! On the Other Side of the PoWM Fence, Looking In

Posted on March 3, 2011 by ZephyrLiving

I’m a minority, on the unpopular side of the People of WalMart (PoWM) fence. I’ve always been for the underdog. Shoot, I’ve often been the underdog. Why change things now? No, I’m all for Awkward Family Photographs (AFP). My reasoning … Continue reading →
