Must Be Flashback Friday
Today’s post comes from May 17, 2016. Looking through some old photos, I noticed this one that I took while on vacation in Maine in 2008. This was downtown Portland, right on the waterfront. I have to wonder about whether the owners of the parking space had ever followed through on their threat to the […]
The Big
Another one where my memory fails me, this time from November 2018. All I have is the title, “The Big.” Now I’m left to wonder, “the big what?” I would have been in southern Germany, but I don’t remember anything there that grabbed me according to its size. I can’t even begin to speculate as […]
Playing With Statistics
Memory is a wonderful thing – when it works. Today it doesn’t. I have mentioned occasionally that I have a number of half-finished posts I intend to eventually publish in this space. Some are on my phone, others on my computer. At least once a week I look and see if there is one I […]
The Technician
I wrote this post in October last year, but got sidetracked and didn’t post it. Today seemed like a good time to correct that error. Don’t you hate technology? Even more, don’t you hate calling tech support? You know they can’t help you – but hope springs eternal. My internet connection died, and with it […]
The In-Between Time
The week between Christmas and New Year’s always seems different somehow. It is as if time has slowed down.In Canada, Christmas Boxing Day and New Year’s Day are statutory holidays. Given that, many people take the other three days of that work week off to get an extended vacation. There are fewer cars on the […]
Merry Christmas!
Of course, there is no point to Christmas on it’s own. Good Friday, and then Easter, are what give it meaning.
It Is Offically Winter
I waited for the sun to go down to write and post this, though I have been thinking about it for a few days. December 21 is the equinox, the shortest day of the year, and the beginning of Winter. Not that it feels any different than yesterday. There is a dusting of snow on […]
Must Be December
I have the blahs. Which I don’t think is a recognized ailment. I’m feeling the time crunch this month. Too much to do. Not enough time to get it all done. Especially with so many people just wanting a minute of my time. It’s never just a minute. And it frequently wasn’t necessary. I’ll get […]
Winter Wonderland
Went for an evening walk with the snow falling. It was beautiful and peaceful.
Writer’s Block?
It’s Monday and as I looked over a couple of dozen half-finished posts, I couldn’t decide what should be in this space today. I’m out of excuses I was going to say I have a bad case of writer’s block, but the fact that I can string these words together would seem to contradict that. There […]
