Put Another Candle On The Birthday Cake Last Friday was my younger sister's birthday. I wished her greetings virtually(this would typically be a drive on multiple freeways of about an hour or so in the best of times). She has now reached an age I wouldn't have dreamt possible for either of us....

On The Topic Of Essential But Not Necessarily That It wasn't an unwanted path but it's not exactly the route I had planned. Detours of all sorts seem to happen. Disruptions, as we know, are the same. The idea for this post came to me while scrolling through the ActiveRain blog roll. Topi...
