My brother was worried about saving his 1000-finger banana plant; I was worried about saving my life. I’m not a major worrier, but when there’s a tropical storm/hurricane in the front yard, I get a little apprehensive. I mean, when the water...

In July 2005, I wrote the first "Roadie Report" for Roger's web page. I wasn't sure I wanted this personal road diary to come under scrutiny of the world, but several different prompts set me to writing. After a few BLOG entries, I received an email from...

I want to take a few minutes and share with you my thoughts on living in a virtual world. I am approaching my 58th year of living in an actual world, and I must admit that I am a long way from having that mastered. Now, thanks to creative folks like Mark...
