RIP, Martin John Crossley Evans. You weren’t my warden during my three years in Bristol. But you were the warden of Manor Hall and a mentor to many who lived there, and didn’t live there. At least among the people I hung out with, if anyone referred to “Warden” we all knew that was you, …
After 2.5 years of playing a game called Star Trek Fleet Command and serving as an alliance leader, it may well be time for me to call it quits. Here’s why…
Where I muse about how I’ve recently started profiling my children to improve my relationships with them.
We’ve been reading children’s bible passages every evening to our boys. Today, my husband Ron chose a passage on how Jesus loves children, and read it to our younger son Paul.

It was delightful to receive emails from a few of you who read my blog posts recently. Thanks for your well wishes. It is all the more a relief to me as I wondered if anyone still reads blog posts – it is so much more convenient these days to log into Facebook and view …
I’m writing this past the stroke of midnight. Looking back, a lot has happened in the past year. I got engaged. We looked for a new home. Last November, we got married. We renovated our new home this March and moved in, a month later. Looking forward, I’m still on the right side of 30 …
