In my last post I wrote about my 16th anniversary with my husband. And already I’m broken up over someone else—who I met behind V’s back. It started a few months ago. He didn’t have to say a word. The minute I saw him, I fell for him…..hard. He was hard, too. And kind of [...]

People come from all over the world to participate.   And for years I’ve watched them come across the finish line, one by one.   [...]

Here are the ingredients: One Father One teenage son 2 pairs of boxing gloves Sounds  like a recipe for disaster.   Or a dad who wants to knock some sense into his kid. That’s what I thought when I first heard about this upcoming  father/son boxing match.   But there’s more to the story than meets the [...]

I’m feeling the love–even though I didn’t love living here for the first few years—-I’m officially starting the Carmel California Fan Club……to share some of what creates Carmel’s character.
