For every month I advance farther into my 40’s, I feel that my eyes do something a little funkier and weirder than the last. Seriously. Sometimes I can see billboards but not menus, and other days I can’t see my fingernails OR the house across the street....

I love Joplin. I just do. We went to the high school football game this evening, and the stadium was sprinkled with people that will put a smile on your face. The weather was gorgeous and the aroma of the concession stand was nostalgic. I looked down into the...

I’m a dabbler. If you are a dabbler, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you are not a dabbler, you probably still know exactly what I’m talking about, but you are rolling your eyes a little. This is how you know you are a dabbler: 1. You...
