Wise Words from Wonderland
Having ADHD
When I was a kid, I knew there was something wrong with me. I didn’t know what it was, but I was sure it was my fault. I was convinced I was just lazy, crazy, and stupid. Amazingly, years later, I would find a book with those exact words as the title. It was aboutContinue reading “Having ADHD”

Toy Train Set
My grandfather worked for the railroad. I remember the miniature train village at the Seattle Center inside of the Food Circus. I remember the Christmas window display at JC Penney’s of the miniature train set. If you put your hand against the handprint, you could make the train run or stop.
