Home Country: Making The Rounds
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
I don’t mind Boots. He just curls up quietly against my belly and stays put.
But sleeping with Desdemona can be a bit unnerving. She snores. Sometimes she gets little bad dreams and scratches me, too. But hey, I get to come in out of the cold and sleep with Aunt Ada’s cats on her sofa, and a guy can tolerate a certain amount of cat snoring for that.
I was glad when I heard Aunt Ada puttering in the kitchen because I knew it was time to get up. After she let me out, she fed me, and let me tell you … that kibble was just as good this morning as it was yesterday. And then she petted me, called Read More

Fr. Glenn: To Be Like God
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
I had a text the other day describing a rather bittersweet moment for any parent: the young daughter wanted to ski without her parents nearby or in sight, she beginning to exhibit that budding streak of independence and self-identity. It’s good to have the young stretching out on their own, and yet stings that their son or daughter will soon no longer be their little boy or girl as they mature into adulthood over several years. And the worries increase: will she sure turn out for the best? Will she follow the good as her independence grows? Will she find a path to happiness? A parent Read More

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” This statement that my parents taught me as I was growing up had good intentions, but it was a lie. The phrase was used as a defense against name-calling and verbal bullying, intended to increase resiliency, avoid physical retaliation and to remain calm and conflict free. This phrase was first sited in 1862 and I know Read More

Go Climb a Tree!
Most of us recently celebrated a new year, the Gregorian new year, which falls on Jan. 1. But many other new years are familiar.
The Jewish calendar provides adherents with numerous new years. Perhaps most familiar is Rosh HaShanah, the annual celebration of the creation of the world, and in particular, of human beings. That holiday occurs in September/October (the Jewish calendar moves around relative to the Gregorian calendar) and is often observed by attendance at synagogue Read More

Home Country: Jenkins Lost Cabin
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
We all know someone will find Jenkins’ cabin. Someday. Oh, it’s up there in those hills somewhere. We all know that.
It’s become a friendly object of conjecture and speculation. No one living has seen it, as far as we know. Jenkins himself died quietly when he was on one of his infrequent trips to town for supplies. Funny guy, that Jenkins.
He worked in the city for years, mostly as a night watchman in a factory that made diapers. Didn’t really enjoy people much, and told us many times how nice it was to just be in the huge factory when it was quiet. Then one day he decided to move Read More
