Another week is nearly in the books and this one has brought a cold front with it. The recent arctic blast has arrived just in time for Fall War Games. My older daughter, Mary Margaret and I are in the Apache tribe which is part of the Koasati nation. Seriously. This year we are participating in a program called Indian Princess which is essentially designed to promote daddy-daughter bonding time.

I’ve even talked to a few children who have already decided who or what they want to dress up as for Halloween. Read the rest of this entry »
I’m looking out of my office window at this beautiful Friday morning and I can’t help but think that today is going to be a good day. There’s not a cloud in a sky that almost looks ceramic, there’s a benign breeze excusing itself through the trees and, of course, its Friday. So let’s all have a good day.
