Yesterday, I indulged myself in a guilty pleasure. In fact, my family and my one boy's friend gladly joined in this indulgence! We attended the John Gorka concert in Salt Lake City.John Gorka, you ask? Who is John Gorka? Shame on you, says I!Urban folk Singer/songwriter and booming, honey-toned baritone. That's how some may describe John Gorka, but not I. I wouldn't stop there.If you like smart

A reader, Steve, has commented that Huling has a blog site and Steve provided a link in his comment.I expect many of you are like me and may have neither the time nor inclination to read all the comments posted to blog entries.

I had a funny experience . . .Tonight, I encountered windshield wiper woes on my drive home.I commute along a road with two lanes in each direction. This road then narrows to only one lane in each direction. Traffic always backs up at that point. It's a bottle-neck.Our informal etiquette for this merging is to alternate between lanes: a car from the inside lane is followed by a car from the

Sometimes we learn life-lessons in the most unexpected places. I picked up an important truth from today's Far Side cartoon. A truth that my parents struggled to teach me and, now, I'm struggling to teach my kids.I've always been a fan of The Far Side cartoon. I was devastated when Gary Larsen, the creator, illustrator, genius behind The Far Side went into retirement some years back. However,

Let me start by stating my opinion: John Huling is to Native American Flute music what Mozart was to classical music . . .Too strong of a statement? You decide. If you're a fan of the Native American flute, as I am, and you haven't yet listened to the music of John Huling, you're in for a treat. His musical soundscapes are ear-candy, just as the photographic work of the late Ansel Adams is

Do you remember playing with a Slinky as a kid? You know, Mattel's famous walking Spring Toy. Isn’t it funny how such a simple thing, really nothing more than a metal coil, managed to amuse and entertain so many young minds? I remember watching their commercials during Saturday morning cartoons and smiling with delight, to watch a Slinky wriggle down the stairs! Things seemed so simple then . . .
