    Grandpa Still Carves the Turkey

    The vibration of the wheels on the old hardwood floors brought a silence to the house. As everyone gathered around, grandpa rolled into the living room.

    Blind Faith

    At least that’s what it seemed to be. But my blind faith was directly relative to my being able to see the back-end of the 18-wheeler ahead of me. My first winter drive, a few months back, across I-80 in Wyoming included what has been referred to as a “white out.” I had never seen…

    The starched collar left no question that this was a serious matter. Job interviews always are. As he stepped into the office, his mannerism was unmistakable. It’s not like he didn’t know.
