Unbelievable; that a heavily biased piece of propaganda can win the People’s Choice Award for best film, Moore’s Farenheit 9/11.  Kinda makes me lose a little bit of faith in the American public.  Of course they/we also voted Will and … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Just finished a few hours of hard labor organizing the cellar.  What makes that exhaustion from physical effort feel so good?  Mental exertion from watching a documentary on tsunami on the Discovery channel.  La Palma, in the Canary Islands; an … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I have been a housewife, live-in lover, seamstress, decorator.  I am a cook, stewer, baker, little winemaker.  I have been an executive secretary to presidents, a customer service rep; have worked in production control, advertising, inside and outside sales.  I … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Jim and I sat side by side this morning, our computer desks in tandem, our attentions on our separate screens. "What books were you looking for?" he asks me, and I give him names of several that I’ve already ordered. … Continue reading → Continue reading →

As a onetime volunteer ambulance driver and EMT, I can’t tell you how happy I am to have come across this article about using USB drives just as Medic Alert bracelets giving medical information.  Once in charge of a blood … Continue reading → Continue reading →

As I put away all the things of Christmas, and of the year past as well, I come across two little figures of a snowman and snowwoman, smiling, dressed in gay green and red scarves and little more.  This is … Continue reading → Continue reading →
