Next week I will have a reconfigured workspace. I’m itching to make it happen and cannot wait, but I have to because the new elements won’t be here until then. The upper part of my work desk (first image below) will go across the den to the top of my bookcase (second image below) where […]

It’s hard to retain optimism. I read a lot of history books (am I a masochist?) so it has become obvious to me that we have been going backward as a genuine civil-ization for quite a while. I’ve just finished reading A PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF THE WORLD by Chris Harman (a companion book

I’m getting my driver license renewed tomorrow because two days after the present one expires, I will be on a plane heading for New Zealand and I don’t want to risk getting it just days before my birthday in case something goes haywire during the renewal process. So what if it’s four months early?

It’s pretty safe to assume that businesses and entrepreneurs are finally coming out of their COVID cubby holes. For the past two weeks or so I’ve been INUNDATED with clients, old and new! Five new (two potentially long term) in the past week alone. WHEE! Potential clients are coming to me from Upwork even

After re-reading some of the notes Alpha wrote, I got to wondering whatever happened to those”writing gems” she kept that I wrote while I was her student. Sure would love to re-read them to see what she saw in them, but I don’t suppose that will ever be possible.I don’t think she sent them to

“Yo ho ho and a bottle of — uh oh, too much rum! The cap’n wrecked the ship!” My aquarium shipwreck ornament arrived last night. I love it a lot! It arrived at about 6:30, so I brought the box in and unboxed it. Then I removed a couple of existing ornaments.
