Mammo Wham

Veering slightly from the proposed theme of the blog, I have to recount my recent experience with having a mammogram. I know, I know, not exactly what people might want to hear, but wait… there is a point to all this. I entered the room and was told to do the normal thing, take everythingContinue reading “Mammo Wham”

T-I-R-E-D

Yep, that’s how you spell it, and that’s what I am.  Seems I’ve been sleepy for weeks.  Granted, we have very busy lives right now…  A puppy; Mary, Martin, and Wicket staying with us; house repairs; and work, work, work.  I wonder, is it just me?  Then I come to work, and everyone here is tired.  It’sContinue reading “T-I-R-E-D”

Making the Twizzle Zing

Karen’s making pancakes and I’m sitting here with newly applied butterfly tape on my hand. The moral of this story… don’t attempt to clean out aluminum cans by trying to pry off the lid you’ve tried, unsuccessfully, to completely remove with a can opener. The prying motion is usually what does you in. So ifContinue reading “Making the Twizzle Zing”

SARAFINA!

It’s a word I’ve used to describe, ever since seeing the movie, the feeling of being free. From bonds, from constraints, from ideas that bog us down and try to pigeon hole us. And today, I feel that way. It’s amazing what truth does to a person. Being honest, opening ourselves up to someone, ourselves,Continue reading “SARAFINA!”

Hotel… Undercover

I am a stowaway. Sort of. I have been hiding out… at the Grand Hyatt Tampa. I’ve lost my own identity and have become someone else. I’ve become the person whose name is on the registration. That name is not mine. I experience a series of daily events in which I am called by thatContinue reading “Hotel… Undercover”

Kong

We went to see the King, Kong that is, the other night. The verdict… We loved the ape… and the film. If you want a good time at the movies, go see Kong. There are no deep messages, no social commentary… just a great action adventure movie filled with all the great action adventure “stuff”Continue reading “Kong”

On A Roll

I had a “thing” happen the other day. I guess you could call it a moment. I went into the bathroom at my house and realized a new roll of toilet paper had been put out in place of the old one. I did what I went in there to do, and when I wentContinue reading “On A Roll”

The Great Migration

The think tank has moved. I did, however, bring over my little missives from the previous site. Stay tuned…. Saturday, November 12th, 2005 8:46 am Back to Busy-nessI am amused and feeling a sense of happy contentment. It’s Friday night, and we have no plans. I think to myself… what a luxury.
