Zombie Fluxx
“So, what are the rules to this game?” “Each player draws one card and plays one card on their turn.” That sounded simple enough. Of course, I neglected to ask how you win the game. Even had that occurred to me, there would have been no answer to that question. The...
Election year maze
Now here's an interesting metaphor. Our annual trip to Shryock's Corn Maze took on an intriguing theme: the U. S. presidential election. I suppose as we have to chart a course through the maze, progressing through many obstacles and making decisions at every...
The “Cos”

Christmas all year
Christmas really came fast this year, and even now, it's hard for me to think it's over. I was really in the Christmas spirit, too. My classroom was decorated to a tee. I've show others extraordinary patience and kindness to others, including forgiving grouchy...
Marriage encounter
I joke sometimes about our yearly pilgrimage to the corn maze as being our "marriage encounter." As with most humor, there is a seed of truth hidden in the joke - I highly recommend the experience. The maze gets you outside in the most beautiful time of the year....
