Questions: 1. Tomorrow I’m going to _________? Work. WORK WORK WORK. I write articles, and last month I BARELY made [...]

Two cups of coffee and I’m still yawning like I could swallow a skyscraper…. Some days, it just ain’t kicking in…. We’ve been home a week now from the vacation, and I’m still adjusting to “normal” life. I must be getting older– it now takes one week to GO on vacation and an additional week [...]

Springtime! It’s here! Oh, ignore all that mud and rain and frigid nighttime temperatures– there’s green out there!

How Do You Prove Something Happened Long Ago?

How do you prove it? For example– how do we REALLY know that George Washington was our first president? What proof is there that this was an historic event? We no longer have eyewitnesses.

I am a kind of “ad hoc/improvise” kind of gal. I have always been surprised at the popularity of self-help, motivational products. [...]

This is a really cool idea, and I’ve mentioned it before here; it’s called Bookswim. It’s touted as a “Netflix” for book lovers– it’s a rental library lending program. You pay a flat fee once a month, create a queue of books you want to read, and the books are sent directly to your home. [...]

So I did a little comparison shopping and came across this amazing device: the Sony PRS300BC Digital Reader. It’s pricey, but it’s still less expensive than the Amazon Kindle (by $60!!). [...]
