Family caregiving takes a turn with a new generation lining up for duty. GenX looks ready. And like other generations before them, like the Baby Boomer Generation, it will all come as a big surprise. Most of us don’t come from a tradition, or culture, that includes taking care of our elders living under the […]

December 15, 2021 by

Coach Lanning didn’t actually get a letter, the Oregon AD did. And that’s not the Oregon family he heard from, though the kid with arrow could be an in-state recruit. The letter to Athletic Director Mullens was signed by Oregon football legends from Joey Harrington to Justin Herbert, along with Marcus Mariota, Akili Smith, Royce […]

FAMILY RULES vs COVID MASK MANDATE WITH A VACCINE SIDE

August 31, 2021 by

Family rules are unquestioned behind the front door, behind the tent flap, tree house, or wherever they live. In the housing world, a man is the king of his castle, or so we’ve been told. We can all play along with this fantasy until it swerves off the tracks. It works until the king discovers […]

DAD VALUE: THE MISSING INGREDIENT IN FAMILY RECIPE

August 31, 2021 by

Dad value fluctuates day to day, but one thing is certain: Father’s make a difference. Disagree? Then ask someone you know without a dad, or never knew their dad. I read an article about being raised with love and how it makes a difference when you love someone raised on survival. Had we known then […]

WRITING ROOM: FROM FAMILY ROOM TO SICK ROOM AND BACK

March 10, 2021 by

A writing room is any room where writing is done. It’s a bedroom, a classroom, or living room. It could be a bar or coffee house; a bus or train. Some writing rooms belong to writers who need ‘consistency of place’ to be productive. How can you be sure your writing room is right for […]

OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER? A FAMILY TIMELINE

February 22, 2021 by

Old enough didn’t matter when I bought a switchblade knife in Mexico. I was a twelve year old with my parents on a family car trip. After driving across Texas we stopped in El Paso after the Carlsbad Caves, then a day trip across the border to Juárez. After proudly showing my mom my new […]

GRECO ROMAN MEDAL WITH A HAPPY FAMILY

January 23, 2021 by

Greco Roman sounds so classic because that’s what it is, classic. It sounds old, like Greek City-State and Roman Empire old. Way the heck back there. In the sports world, Greco Roman is a particular style of wrestling, not an architectural element. It’s for athletes who don’t want to get tangled up in someone’s legs, […]

FAMILY VALUES: HOME HISTORY IN MEMORIES

January 11, 2021 by

The term Family Values gets tossed around often, so often the definition changes. After the events of January 6, I questioned family values in general, American family values in particular. Since we all have different values, different family values seems likely. There were no lock step in my family values growing up and I didn’t […]

FAMILY LIFE: HOW IT STARTED, HOW IT’S GOING

November 20, 2020 by

Family life is a blur. That’s what I tell anyone who asks. It goes by fast from the dad lane. Pictures don’t lie. What’s it take to keep family life together over the long haul? Communication tools, that’s what, but not the kind you’d expect, not the kind my wife would include either. But, it’s […]

FAMILY MAN? WHO WERE YOU BEFORE THAT

October 11, 2020 by

Every man is a family man until it’s time to do what family men do. “But, Dave, what do family men do?” I’ll answer before you ask, because you were going to.
