Cutting Another String
Today is a big day – my son is heading off to a 2 day college orientation. Alone. Without me. ARE YOU CRAZY MICHAEL HE’S NOT OLD ENOUGH!!! Apparently, sometime over the last 18 years he grew up. I have thousands of memories with him, but in almost all of them he’s someplace between the [...]

Last night’s dream was in a movie theater. Or a swimming pool. Or maybe a movie theater in a swimming pool. I’m not really sure.
There was a girl in high school, Kris. I barely knew her, haven’t thought about her since 1980. All I remember about her is that she had red hair.
She had an older sister. I didn’t know her at all. And *that’s* who I was seeing the movie with last night.
So Kris’s older sister – call me. We should talk. 
P.S. There were also tornadoes and wine bottle in the dream. I’m so confused.

With a note of thanks to SondraK comes an 18 year old’s fight for free speech. Tired of leftist propoganda in his high school, he starts Operation Tiger Claw – his right to disagree with what was being taught to him. The amazing thing is the homework this kid did ahead of time – armed [...]

I chose… George Bush Sr. That was in the Spring of 1980, and before the year was out, Reagan had [...]

I spent the first couple of hours tonight trying to get WordPress up so I could see if I like it. I started at Livejournal.com, switched to Blogger.com, and now I wonder why I need Anything.com. I should be able to bypass any 3rd party blog host and post directly on Chasing the Wind. Since [...]

Ow. Up way to late last night and my head hurts. It’s not what you think though – I don’t party hard anymore. I’m not sure I ever did – or at least I can’t remember. Ha! No, I was up late last night playing with Dreamweaver and Paintshop Pro. New toys are fun. My [...]
