BACK IN THE SADDLE

Marvel movies? He read the books

The seemingly endless stream of movies from the comic book universe made my eyes glaze over a long time ago.

Loom is ready for assembly

It started with a conversation at the dedication of the newly expanded campus of Arts Place in Jay County.

Happy birthday to ‘twin’ brother

Maybe it’s time to talk about my other brother.

Panthers won, and the bully lost

It was probably October 1958.

Quirk of General Shanks is missed

I miss General Shanks.

Grandpa’s effort amounts to little

The call came in the middle of a meeting.

Hike wasn’t easy, it was awesome

“This’ll be fun,” I said.

Sometimes bed wins over baseball

“What inning is it?” I asked as I lifted my eyelids and attempted to drag myself from the warm embrace of the family room sofa where I had been dozing. Truth to tell, I may as well have asked, “Who is playing?”

Why watch minor league baseball?

The answer was no to Kosovo visit

So. No to Kosovo.

Your stories are worth preserving

Ever heard of StoryWorth?

Spend time with some good books

Maybe, as the month winds down, it’s a good time for my annual book recommendations.

The car was pointed north, toward Fort Wayne, and rain was falling. A minor league baseball game was our intended destination, but it sure didn’t look as if anyone would be taking the field.
