Hope for Sammy – 2013
It’s that time of year … time to realize how long it’s been since I’ve put any words to the computer screen … and our annual TACA campaign. I’m going to – GOING TO – get back to blogging, but in the meantime am putting this video up for Sammy’s TACA campaign. I’ve never been […]
Civility, Please!
I have a heavy heart today. Well, it’s been heavy for a couple of days now.

Rock Star
Sammy is a rock star. This we already know. He’s fighting a battle that we can’t even comprehend. Each and every day he fights. With a smile. With laughter. With temper tantrums and meltdowns, too.
