"Cake Anyone?" was printed in Lipstik, a bimonthly women's
magazine published by the Belleville, Illinois News Democrat
newspaper.  The humor piece was rejected by one women's
magazine because it made the editor squeamish.
"Those Annoying Driver-Walkers" was published in the Canadian
magazine, The Fellowship Link, Summer 2004, as a short humor
piece.
Now What? reprinted "Surviving Mother's Day" in May 2006.  It can
be found under the "Death and Grief" subheading on the web site.
Sasee, an entertaining women's lifestyle magazine in Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina, published the humor piece "Blind, Deaf,
but Happily Married" in their October/November 2004 issue.  A
quote from Coleridge triggers a couple’s debate about the word
“nag” and the nagging behavior within their relationship.

physically challenged hunters and appeared in MVP Outdoors, January

Writing memoir, I tend to see the humor in life's challenges.  But reality is often
harsh, so the writing must reflect a more serious flavor.  Whatever your taste, I hope
you enjoy a sampling of my personal essays.
