If you are a Florida native, like me, you have been to Disney too many times to count. It started with your family; then there were church youth group trips, and field trips and birthday parties and even Grad night. As they add parks and rides and exhibits, you return to catch up with an […]

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “It’s a Text, Text, Text, Text World.” How do you communicate differently online than in person, if at all?

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Burning Down the House.” The house is burning; all people and animals are safe and you can grab 5 things. What do you grab?

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Pens and Pencils.” When was the last time you wrote something substantive — a letter, a story, a journal entry, etc. — by hand?
