    Remembering the Forgotten Ones

    August 26, 2019 - By Andree Koehler

    Who remembers the forgotten: the white bicycles that fade in the sun; the crosses and plastic flowers, whose visitors appear on Sundays after church; the dogs and cats left bloating in the sun; living room and bedroom remnants, tossed in the dark?

    #RealTalkTuesdays: Friends

    April 23, 2019 - By Andree Koehler

    How many of us have them? You know I had to, right? I mean, how could I write a post about friends and not start off with Whodini??? I need to smile. Smiling helps when the heart is broken. Memories fade, even of people who make what seems like an…

    #RealTalkTuesdays: Wishes

    April 16, 2019 - By Andree Koehler

    You know that old phrase, right? How often have you said or thought, or heard someone say something akin to it? I saw an advert for cheap cremation a few days back. The site offered a short questionnaire to gather last wishes and a way to pay for all of…

  • A Conversation about How The Police got it right (no, not them …) June 14, 2025
    This conversation is not about the “people in blue” or those who “patrol the streets in their black and whites”. I’m referring to the other Police. Postor from the “Ghost in the Machine” tour. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/390075-the-police-ghost-in-the-machine-tour-live-at-gateshead/images/posters Right, the band!
