For the first time ever, I waited until this morning to “Spring Forward” (to turn the clocks ahead in my home that don’t correct themselves automatically). Clock: What a weird-sounding word. The weirdness of the sound of the word just occurred to me as I began writing this post. “Clock” certainly doesn’t

Yesterday my front tooth implant was uncovered and a healing abutment placed, so in about a month I will have a permanent tooth there. WOO HOO! It has been a long time coming I started the process last April. I’ve been traveling to Seattle intermittently (every few months) to get the work done

Just when I thought the GOP (Guilty Oppressive Party) couldn’t get any lower or scuzzier, they say “Hold My Beer!” and prove me wrong again. I don’t know if you’ve been watching the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, but if you have, you know what a slog it’s been and

Today was “Read Across America Day”aka “Dr. Seuss Day” (although many of the books volunteers read were not by Seuss). I volunteered to read two Dr. Seuss books (“Oh! The Places You’ll GO!” and “Horton Hears a Who”) at Shining Mountain Elementary in Spanaway WA. We had a blast! Amy Ulen reported

I had an amazing dream last night. It was mostly about a place that I discerned had become a dumping ground for unwanted pets of all kinds. I ended up in this place after a car I had been driving fell from a spot in the road that had caved in. (The cave-in

Navel Gazing defined: “Engaging in or characterized by self-indulgent or excessive contemplation of oneself or a single issue, at the expense of a wider view.” I see persistent and excessive navel gazing on Facebook, especially from Creatives. I think most of us suffer from more than our fair share of Impostor Syndrome, defined as

Parting with so much of my DeForest Kelley collection has put me into a nostalgic frame of mind — and tonight has been an absolute hoot! I awoke from several hours of sleep and started thinking of the fun we had, and how outrageous some of the stunts that Kat Lane* and I
