August 6 - On Vacation - UPDATED CROSS INDEX

I will be on vacation through August 14. Vacation? I’m taking three small children, 2000 miles from home, to a location with rotary phones and no internet access, and only one TV. Chances are that I will not be able to update my blog. I will probably gain enough material to get me through this year and next however.

My regular blogging will return around August 15.

As I approach five months as a BLOGGER. I thought I would offer a Subject / Topic Cross Index to any new readers to catch up.

Three days per week are devoted to specific categories: Pet Peeve Monday, Where Are They Now? Wednesday, and Friday Funny. In between are an eclectic bag of musings, stories, similes, homilies, anecdotes, etc.

By the way, if you would like to receive an email notification of new blog postings, simply send me an email request and I can add you to an automated notification system: Jay's email
