I always thought Ezekiel was pretty scary, except in the Tennesee Ernie Ford song version of it.  That song would make a [...]]]></description>

Around lunchtime, and morning coffee break time, work crews from the construction constantly going on in the area, or in [...]]]></description>

I’m sure I always knew that on some level, but it never hit me with such certitude as when my brother and I were sorting and packing the contents of the house where we grew up.
