A red-tailed hawk smashed into the side of the house this morning. We were in the living room, waiting for our morning coffee (and waiting and waiting and waiting) and I was also busy working on an ad campaign with an advertiser when all of a sudden we heard a loud BANG. *long silence* “What [...]

Out Sick

I was doing some research today and when I clicked on a technology website, my computer went bananas. GREAT. A virus. Or trojan. Or some evil thing. Needless to say, I am a *little* upset. Oh yeah, and even though I religiously backup everything with superhuman zeal, I haven’t done it lately because 1.) the [...]

My New Blog

It’s only just a baby, but it’ll be all grown up before long. I created a new blog where I can be myself. No pressure to be glitzy, or fun, or entertaining, or pretty. No advertisers breathing down my neck with their demands for fast-paced, image-based content. This blog is radically different from the others, [...]

I started a new blog. YES, I did! I am not crazy… I don’t think I am. I don’t feel like I am, lol. My new blog is just starting up, and there is very little content right now. I’m taking my time with it. No embellishment, no crazy chattering, no colorful buttons and advertising. [...]

I had a “George Bailey” moment last night. Remember that movie It’s a Wonderful Life? In the movie, the angel Clarence shows George what life would be like if George had never been born. I remember something Clarence said to George: “You’ve been given a great gift, George: A chance to see what the world [...]

Ah, memories. This LOL Cats picture made me bust laughing. I especially like “Rebel Cat.” Just HOW did the cat owner get his cat to do that?! Musta been the ‘nip. I was too shy and quiet in my large urban school to be a “cool cat,” or, as they are called in yearbooks, a [...]

… and it’s raining (what’s new)…. and I forgot to thaw the post roast. It would have been a perfect day for pot roast. Oh well. I have been living at my house for 14 years. For the FIRST time, I got a vision for the home decorating scheme. Yeah, I’m a late bloomer, I [...]

OK, it’s bad enough that an Internet quiz is encouraging me to be zany! My poor kids….. lol…. I hadn’t done any of those goofy Internet quizzes in a long time. So when my pals Gerard and Karen did the “What Kind of Jungle Animal Are You?” quiz, I was intrigued. So, what are you [...]

It Smells Like Fall Today

And it smells GREAT. There are four seasons to a year. You’d think that every season should last 3 months, right? I can’t think of any place on this earth where that happens. Here in Upstate New York, we have 5-6 months of winter, 1 month of spring, 4 months of summer, and 1 month [...]
