Time waits for no one. There, I wrote it. Out there, in the ethers, for all to see. I have asked (and been asked) the above many times in my life, for various reasons, in all different scenarios, but the one theme surrounding that question – What are you waiting for? – was to makeContinue reading “What Are You Waiting For?”

When In Doubt, Humor It Is!
Allow me to paint you the scenario and tell you a little story…my sister showed up at my open heart surgery wearing the above t-shirt, big red heart-shaped glasses and a cowboy hat.
