Latest odd query entered into a search engine that directed a visitor from Michigan to this blog: “Does being around gay people rub off?”

Riding With A Cop
Last night, instead of watching (or not watching) some football championship game, and instead of reading a book as I had planned, I jumped at a chance to do a “ride-along” with a cop who serves my police district. I had signed up for that opportunity some time ago, and had forgotten. I got a call to ask if I were interested in going on a ride-along due to a last-minute cancellation. My reply?

Here in the United States, there is much excitement, hoopla, and hysteria about a championship football game scheduled to be played in New Orleans tonight (Sunday). One of the teams in the game is from my home state. Will I be watching?

Boots At Work
I have been enjoying opportunities to break out and wear some of my newer cowboy boots to work in my new-old-new-but-old office. (It is hard to explain, but let’s say that over the past 25 years, I have worked in the same building for different employers but in about the same space.

The Working World
I had forgotten what it is like to work in an environment where the boss respects you and your skills. I just started my new job back with an agency where I worked before. I have a new boss who asked a lot of people about me before I started work, and apparently liked what he heard.
Within the first hour of arrival at my new office, …
