My Pink Eye Week

It started a week ago when I noticed that my eyes seemed to be watering more than normal, particularly my left one.  Since I sometimes get little ingrown eyelashes, I didn’t think much of it.  As a matter of fact, I used my magnifying mirror to see if I could find the culprit, but my [...]

As dawn breaks over the sleepy neighborhood and a jet zips across the sunrise, it would appear that Spring has arrived.  Everything seems so quiet and peaceful.
There is the promise of growth with shades of green slowly seeping among the barren trees. 
Even lawns which were thought to be lost causes, are starting to display [...]

As I Was Saying…

I talk to myself. There, I said it!  And I’m not talking about just saying things like “Oh darn it, I forgot to get milk.” I’m talking about whole conversations about certain topics.  And I’ve decided that, for me, it’s not a sign of mental illness, but rather of mental wellness.  The fact is, that [...]

I talked in this earlier post about the disaster I made of trying to refinish my dining room table and how I would redo it someday in the far future…  Well, sometimes the future  happens a lot earlier than you expect!  The morning after the Big Table Job, I noticed several places where the varnish [...]

When I read that Steve Wozniak, one of the co-founders of Apple Computer, was going to appear on “Dancing with the Stars,” I didn’t know what to expect.  Prior to this, I knew very little about him, but I did wonder how a computer guru would take to the strenuous rehearsal schedule and the energy [...]

Some days, not often, but some days, I wake up feeling as if the day to come is just waiting to pounce on me.  It’s nothing specific, and I certainly would prefer that every day be bright and shiny and full of smiley-face feelings, but that isn’t the way life operates.  As the old saying [...]

A Five-Sky Post

I’ve noticed that I haven’t done many of my regular “nature posts” lately, and there’s a good reason for that.  The bugs and the critters that I usually photograph are as confused by our hot and cold temperature extremes as I am.  Consequently, they’re playing it safe, and staying out of sight.  But that can’t [...]

Some days there is so much to ponder that my head fills up with odd thoughts.  It gets so full that I’m afraid it will burst open and a bunch of little black question marks will come spilling out, scatter across the floor and be one more thing I’ll have to clean up.  So, I’m [...]

How Different ARE the rich?

We live in a world where actors, actresses, singers and athletes make obscene amounts of money.  Often, what they make in a single performance is more than a teacher, nurse, policeman or fireman makes in a whole year or longer.  For some reason we just seem to accept that as the way things are.  Now [...]
