I’m just a little drowsy today.  It’s a beautiful one, too.  Sunny, warm, a light breeze.  All I need is a hammock and a margarita.  I don’t, of course, have to time for that, but hey, it’s a nice thought.

I’ve got a series of rants, meanderings, musings, and just plain old wastes of time to [...]

Rest in Peace, Davy.  The world is poorer for your absence.  here is a favorite song of mine, it has rich sentimental value to me.  This goes out to the memory of Davy Jones.

And by this I mean the people out there have taken some serious leaps.  Tomorrow is Leap day, not today.  I, however, may or may not be available to post then, so I’m doing it now.  If you’re picky about that kind of detail, go get a life.  ;)

I gave blood today.  I do it pretty much as soon as I’m eligible each time, I don’t just wait for a convenient blood drive.   I consider it my civic duty to my community, since it only costs me a little time, I get a free cookie, and the good that it does cannot be [...]

Today is the 11th anniversary of the day my mother passed away.  I think about all of the things she missed, the changes in the world since she left it, and the people she left behind.  She was a fine lady; well read, educated, erudite even.  I inherited her sense of humor and her eyes, [...]

After leaving my blog for many months, I’ve decided to pick it back up.  This is a new year, and I’ll have to dust myself off, recover from 2011, and move on.  I’ll probably add a fiction section too.  Possibly a political opinion page too.

but for now, I have to run off and get ready [...]
