So tonight I was looking at my blog stats and found that someone had looked at a post I wrote way back on October 17, 2011, titled ‘What a Prince.’ This is that same post, under a new title…just in case any of the three people who read it then, and who read it now, […]
When we stand in front of a mirror, we see what everyone else sees when they look at us. That reflection is such an infinitesimal part of who we are that it shouldn’t matter as much as it does. But that’s not how the world works, is it? A couple of nights ago, I was […]
I was going to try and let July 28th slide right by this year. Pretend it wasn’t coming up, ignore it, keep busy…but it’s not working. Every time I turn around I see 333 on a clock, or in a game. I guess she’s reminding me. So I’m just going to get it over with […]
I’m ashamed to admit that until about a week ago, I’d never heard of Benedict Cumberbatch. No, it’s true. Can you believe that? It wasn’t until a friend posted the following video that he snagged my attention, beginning to win my heart at fifteen seconds in. Yeah, I’m pretty sure the modesty was a put […]
Maybe it’s just because more days are warmer this month than not, but whatever the reason, a lot of contortionists seem to be on the road lately. It doesn’t matter if they’re texting and driving, talking on or dialing their cell phones…or they just happen to think that traffic laws don’t apply to them. No […]
Shadow first came into our lives in the late summer of 2007. A neighbor found her wandering around and asked if we could keep her while they looked for the owner. She did have a collar, but no tags, and even though my landlord didn’t allow pets, I couldn’t say no. Besides, the kids fell […]
I used to love a show called Sue Thomas, F.B.Eye, but I loved the theme song even more. I really like the fact that the woman in the song knows exactly who she is…and she isn’t afraid to let the world know it. She’s obviously not perfect. She has strengths and weaknesses - just like […]
I can’t think of another ‘old saying’ that is more wrong than this one. If you learn something, no matter how much time has passed, you never forget…because it’s just like riding a bike. Yeah. Not. When I was a teenager, I rode my bike everywhere. I’m talking year-round, if too much snow and/or ice […]
Okay, so I know that pets aren’t people, but as I watch old age making life hard on Shadow, it brings up a very unpleasant subject. I mean she has a little trouble walking, and it’s harder for her to get on and off the sofa and bed than it was even a year ago. […]
I have loved this video from the first time I saw it. Such a heart-wrenching visual about what can happen when someone drinks and drives. Tragedies like this don’t just affect the victims in the other car, it affects everyone who ever knew them.
