And so it goes
Posted Friday, March 12, at 3:51 PM
I've had to say "goodbye" to lots of friends I've passed along life's journey and it can be most difficult.
But there are ways to make it easier:
Hugs, kisses, a rabbit with tiny feet (that you first think is only a head).
Food, laughter, rubber band wars, photos, music...
That may not be how you'd say farewell, but it's the one we chose today.
But as our web editor page designer, Angel, leaves us today for new opportunities I'm not going to say "Goodbye".
Instead I'm going to say:
"See You Later."
"I'll miss you and the laughter you bring to the office"
"Good luck."
"God Bless."
And of course I'll remind her:
Don't forget to come and visit -- or that party at your place -- you know the one.
"The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" I've been a bit down in the dumps this week, well, because I'm sick of snow and cold and more snow and more cold... But my family's antics cheered me so I thought I'd share them with you. My mom, she's going to be 64 this year, told me the other day the enjoyment she experienced from eating a Blow Pop. You remember what they are right? The sucker with the bubble gum inside?...
Two Year Highlights Two years today writing for the Daily Sentinel. When I look back, I wonder 'how the heck did I make it this far.' Just kidding. I usually don't get lost anymore. I emphasize the word usually, but I have to admit I'm still challenged by the southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest being on the same street sign...
Ink or Text When was the last time you sat down with a pen or pencil and wrote someone a note or a letter? And the recent holidays don't count because for many those are "special" times. How about the last time you picked up the telephone, cell phone or not, and actually called someone to chat? Remember those conversations where the person on the other end of the line could hear the inflection in your voice to know what you were thinking...
Broncos and Colts I'm certainly no sports expert, but I'm definitely what you would call a NFL enthusiast. I watch as many games as possible to the chagrin of those around me (like my mom who only picks out the teams by the ones with the "prettiest uniforms.") Is that sick or what...
Don't Crowd the Car Winter. I dislike it but since I live in Iowa I have to deal with it. And that which comes along with it like snow, freezing cold temperatures, more snow, frost-covered windshields, slippery sidewalks, shoveling, freezing rain and dangerous road conditions...
My ears are ringing Do you remember rotary telephones? You know the one where you put your finger in the dial and spin. The tip of my finger always got caught under the plastic and irritated me. They had spiral cords, some were really long so you could move around the room while others so short you had to practically stand on top of the telephone, because they plugged into a wall phone jack...
A History Lesson in fossils Last weekend some friends and I visited Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park, which is between the towns of Royal and Orchard in Nebraska. It was quite an eye-opening experience for me as I have never seen 12-million-year-old fossils unearthed in the same positions -- some with remnants of their last meal inside -- as they died...
Visit turned Adventure Last week my baby brother Andrew (well he's almost 23) brought his girlfriend, also a friend of mine, to Le Mars for a visit before she returned to Russia. Natalia or Nata as she's known in the Midwest is from St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, originally, but currently is the artistic director of the Russian State Theater in Tallinn, Estonia...
Tourists at home I've heard about Sergeant Floyd and his burial place in Sioux City, but I never really got the connection until this past weekend. My parents came for a visit and we did the tourist thing right here in Sioux City. I have to say my dad and I were most impressed with the Sergeant Floyd River Museum, the ship. It was really neat to stand in there and look at history...

I still consider my hometown to be Humboldt, S.D. but the longer I'm here in Le Mars the more I like it. I'm not expert on life by far, but in my blogs you'll find my thoughts on life's "lessons." Living and working in different states means I have had the opportunity to look at the way different types of people take on our ever-changing world. In my blog I'll be sharing with you some of the things I've learned along the way or observed. And of course you'll get a taste of the topics I'm passionate about like my nephews, friends and family. As always, I appreciate your questions and comments.
