School bus problems, AGAIN?


First week back-to-school is over. Same old problems.

Our neighbors to the west, Waukee and Johnston, made it on TV and into the Des Moines Register. Our first week kinks were minor compared to their mess.

New managers, additional students, drivers quitting over loss of benefits, upset parents--this local soap opera has it all.

Check out my blog and my podcast for more information.

Climbing out of depression.


For some, free tickets to fly to Alaska would be a great gift.

For this flatlander, with a long-term Fear-of-Flying, it has been a hurdle I have not been able to get over.

Panic attack, following by rumination and depression. The only way to break it was a 4-hour road trip to go see my daughter and her two boys. The 7-year-old was busy riding bikes -- but the one-year old was right where I needed him. Holding his arms up for a Grandpa Lift -- it was that little boy that gave me the life. Thanks Cal!!!
