Since my mother died (it’s been 5 months, can you believe it?), it’s up to me to figure out who I need to add to my Christmas card list. My dad prepared his Christmas cards on his own, but, well, he’s a boy and I have to figure out the fine details of who some […]
Though GenBetween won’t have a birthday until May, the end of the year is always a good time to look back and see what’s been happening.
Many people might call this type of retrospective a “best of”, but, to be honest, other than getting to meet all of you, I’m not sure there is a “best” […]
Unlike my other endeavor which serves no apparent purpose other than to take up bandwidth and minutes of your life, GenBetween does have a higher purpose (besides being a place where I pour forth angst on a semi-regular basis).
In honor of the upcoming Carnival of the Mission Statement for b5 Media’s Family and Relationship Channel, […]
I got to see an old friend yesterday, she lives far away and I haven’t seen her in years.
We had a great time catching up, and, then I realized the reason for her visit. Her father is ill, they don’t know what’s wrong, and, it doesn’t sound too good. With a small child at home, […]
This morning, for no particular reason, I was wishing I could have just a 5 minute break from worrying about all things aging, when our 17 year old dog started looking not so good.
Ugh, not sure what’s going on with her, but, we’ll see.
Then, I realized that when the time comes that I don’t have […]
So. I was perusing Perez Hilton, um, not that I do that often or get my news from there or anything…
What? OK, OK, you got me. I know everything that’s going on over there at any given time, I confess.
Anyway, back to my story.
I cruised by there just now and I was greeted with the […]
Well, then. Let’s try this again.
Bereaved people sure are busy.
Bereaved people with kids going back to school and a father living on his own for the first time in a long time sure are busy.

Heh, I just realized I’m sandwiched in by my dog, too.
We have a 17 (yep, seventeen) year old dog. I was supposed to go to my mother’s house today to stay with her for a while, but, when we returned from vacation late last night, we realized the dog had a very large abcess on […]
It was just conjecture on my part that people might have trouble talking to their aging parents about the previous topics, but, I guess I’m right, afterall.
