MY WIFE WOKE UP early and begins to prepare for our trip up north in Catmon. A good neighbor will be laid to his final resting place on this day, February 13, 2011, and we have to be there to pay our last respects.

AFTER AN ABSENCE OF more than two years, a home utility appliance reappeared in my home.

It replaced an ageing Hitachi 6 cubic feet box which has ceased to properly function ...
