reflecting on a week in the Grand Strand.

As I type this, I am sitting at the gate waiting for my flight to Detroit to pull in. I’ve spent the last 6 days in Myrtle Beach, four of which I spend with My Son. As usual, he was giddy to see me; so excited he was running a-mile-a-minute.…

Solving the Scourge of the Short-haired Girl: A Modern Icarus? idolatry? or sabotage?
I’ts been a little more than 24 hours and I haven’t heard from SHG. It ain’t gonna happen. I really didn’t know how this was gonna go either way. I could foresee her both calling me back and not calling me back. So I really didn’t know what to expect.…
