I adore my wife, Teresa. That’s the simple explanation of how I feel about her and a term I reserve for only her. To adore is “to regard with deep, often rapturous love,” and that’s certainly what I feel for her after 33 years of marriage. We met in Moscow, Idaho. Teresa and I knew […]

Trust me when I say that I love to turn a phrase. I’m cornier than a bag of corn nuts, and my brain can take almost any word or situation and create a hybrid word to describe the thing or activity. Most are just plain stupid (just ask my family or friends who’ve been subjected […]
