It is fair to say, I think, that I have not had the best of luck with doctors since coming to Decatur. There were initially many insurance problems as I had NY State insurance and lived in Georgia, which is complicated and caused me to end up at a Doc-in-a-box with a overeager fondness for [...]

In first grade I memorized many things. So many things, in fact, I can’t even remember them all - clearly it worked well. What I do remember memorizing is the Lord’s Prayer and Psalm 23.

After much coveting, and discussing finances, I finally found my bike yesterday. It is a beautiful blue bike. We found it at a local bike shop. I rode it around the neighborhood twice, compared it to other bikes, and confessed that this was the one. Adam said I could get it even though he didn’t [...]
