Just Friends
Actually they really aren’t friends. The black and white one barely tolerates the other and would probably be happier as an only cat. He’s just too lazy to leave when she invades his space. Today’s post is being offered in the hope that you will re-post, re-tweet and re-whatever it. After all, the internet is […]
A Quote For Monday Morning
I was at a seminar this weekend when I heard a line that resonated. I’d give credit to the speaker, but he firmly stated that he was himself quoting, though he couldn’t remember the original source. A quick online search gave me several different variations on the statement, and left me no wiser as […]
The Move
I had a post already planned for today. It was (in my mind anyway) light, whimsical and even topical. But it had a fatal flaw. It was about my office move, which took place yesterday. I was going to regale you with tales of woe, of missing items and scuffed furniture and doors that wouldn’t […]
I Flunked The Reading Quiz
Sometimes I can’t resist. A friend had posted one of those Facebook surveys, “The Greatest Books of All Time Forever.” I’m a sucker, and consider myself reasonably well-read, so I went through the list. Such lists are always suspect to me. What I think is great may not be what you consider great. For example, […]
Monday Morning
Some days, especially at the start of the work week, what you really need is a good joke. I’m sorry to disappoint you. Maybe I’m not at my best on Mondays. In my defence though, I thought it was funny.
Ice Trees
I had to make an evening run to the library. It had been raining all day, with the temperature hovering around the freezing mark. The trees had a coating of ice, shining in the street lights. I whipped out my phone and snapped a couple of pictures for you.
Mining Facebook
I am not much of a Facebook user. Or any social media when it comes down to it. For the most part I am too busy with life to spend hours finding out what is going on with other people’s lives. A lot of my friends must feel the same way, because when I do […]
Goodbye 2016
Here we are at the end of the year. Traditionally a time for reflection, with a vow to do better as the clock strikes midnight. How was your 2016? As bad as all the online pundits are proclaiming it? Or, when you reflect honestly, pretty much like every year, a mixture of good and bad. […]
Celebrity Deaths
I once worked at the same radio station as Dan Ackroyd, before he shot to Hollywood fame. But not at the same time, so I never met him. I mention that in passing, as Ackroyd supposedly was at one time engaged to actress Carrie Fisher, who has died at age 60. I never met her […]
