A couple of weeks ago as I was wandering up and down the aisles of the Christmas store in Wal-mart I had an epiphany. I realized I was not in the Christmas spirit. Usually I am raring to go right after Halloween. On my birthday, which is the thirteenth of November, I start playing Christmas [...]
If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of
twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love to my

Every Monday night the library in Ruston shows a movie and about a month ago I started attending. Why pay money to go see movies when I can see them for free? I very seldom go to a theater but wait until the movie comes out on DVD. Last night [...]
