20 Cents from July 2011

Here come the Dog Days! It’s time to savour every last moment of summer. Unfortunately, our Dog Days will begin with another surgery for my son. Things aren’t quite going according to plan, so he needs a day surgery to (hopefully) fix that. At the same time, our move out of town is less than…

20 Cents from June 2011

It’s been a busy couple of weeks as my son had a significant surgery on his leg last week. Caring for him afterwards has been a round-the-clock job. I hope to be able to jump back into writing a little more in the coming weeks, although we have our big move looming as well. I’ll…

Another month has flown by and it’s time once again to point out a few choice pieces writing from the web for May of 2011. Finally, some nicer weather has arrived here and I hope some of it has made its way to where you are too! This month’s selection of articles is as eclectic…

Maybe everyone was saving their best for last. Either way, I hope you find the articles in today’s collection as informative and thought-provoking as I…

So the first month of 2011 is already over. How are those 2011 goals coming along? Are you still on track? I’ve had a couple of setbacks myself, but I’m not taking it lying down. I’m taking some corrective actions and I hope to be able to report that they worked! Without further delay, here…

20 Cents from December 2010

I hope you have all been enjoying a relaxing holiday season. I’ve been keeping a much lighter writing schedule over the past couple of weeks, but I’ll be back at it by Monday. In the meantime, I did take a break from festivities long enough to put together this great collection of articles from the…
