I did some of my best work in the “garten” -as I like to call it. That’s kindergarten. But before I could get in there, I went through all the rigorous testing of the “pre-garten” during kindergarten registration. I was at that stage of my life in 1969. This was the time of school psychologists’ […]

Generally, I’m not black or white on many issues. I don’t know why this is. Sometimes I think it may have something to do with my heritage. For all practical purposes, I’m like many multi-generational Americans – I’m a mutt. The Spafford family came to this country in 1650 from England. My mom’s family, The […]

It’s been over a year since I last wrote something. It was a busy year. But that’s what everyone says. When I was single I was busy, then I got married and wondered what I did with all the free time I had. Then I got three kids and wondered how I ever thought I […]
