I’m really bad at hearing. I did not say listening. I said hearing.
The mystery is, my eardrums work. I’ve rocked every hearing test I’ve ever taken. But in the real world, you don’t have headphones that block out noise, and you’re not simply listening for a beep.
In the real world, you have the radio, the […]

If you are shopping for a mountain home here in Big Bear, bring your checkbook. There are houses that sell in the first 2 weeks on the market, and then there are homes that reach the correct price and suddenly become the best deal. Either way, the ability to recognize these deals comes from inventory […]

Since tomorrow is Mother’s Day, I’ve been thinking back about my Mom. She’s been gone for a long time, but never from my heart.
That memorable day really started a bit before….I think I must have been between 4 and 5 years old - and ever week, like clockwork, Mom and I would walk to the […]

Mother’s Day has always been just another Sunday in May to me and my family. I only have one memory of an attempt at doing something “special” for my mom when I was growing up and it isn’t exactly a Hallmark moment.
I rode my bike up to the local drug store to buy her a card and on my way home, the […]

This time of year it’s tornado after storm after tornado after … well you get the point.
It rained all day Wednesday non-stop. And in the evening, when driving my son to church I noticed how crazy the clouds looked. They were separating on the lower levels and rolling around. The color of the sky wasn’t […]

We have had some wonderfully gonad squeezing moments over the last year when we’ve found out we are not pregnant.

I read a lot, although not as many books as I’d like to. Throughout the day I am reading articles and blogs posted all over the Internet by writers and bloggers from all walks of life. When my daughter is taking a nap I’ll usually enjoy the peace and quiet and read for several hours […]

Hi, I’m Leo and I’ve got an interesting idea.
That’s what people say anyway. Almost everybody I tell about my Web site, www.monalulu.com, rubs their chin and says, “Hmmm, interesting.”
People think it’s “interesting” that I’m trying to start a nationwide revolution to keep grocery prices affordable.
They consider it kind of “interesting” that I’m urging consumers to […]
