I'm Going to Need a Bigger Hoe for the Python Invasion

Tonight one of Atlanta's local TV stations hinted that the Burmese python, one of the world's largest snakes (known to have killed large animals and even people), is apparently not only breeding and doing well in the Florida Everglades but it might be able to survive mild Georgia winters.

Oh, no.… Read full post »

Body temperatures and popsicle hands

I'm freezing my husband to death these days…or so he says.

What can I say?

It was 97 or 98 degrees Fahrenheit in Atlanta on Sunday. In the shade. With humidity. I set the thermostat on an overly hopeful 73 degrees. But at the hottest point of the day, the… Read full post »

When 30 Minutes of Nightly News Was Plenty

As usual, tonight I've been surfing and reading all kinds of news—including politics, business, science, technology, entertainment and music—from around the world. (And I tweeted the more interesting items in Twitter as I went along.)

Loafing Down the Road Not Taken

I've been thinking about my dad for the last week. His birthday was May 9. Neither he nor I were there to celebrate it, and he had the better excuse.

 Dad died last August at age 75. He would have been 76 last week. By modern average age standards, 75 isn't… Read full post »

Chocolate: There IS a God

I'm craving chocolate—specifically Ghirardelli dark chocolate or maybe double-chocolate fudge brownies.

There is no chocolate in the house.

Sometime last week or even the week before, I threw out the last of the dark chocolate bunny, a leftover from Easter that my husband had so thoughtfully p… Read full post »

The Sky is Never Just Blue

My husband says that I would argue with God.

He's wrong. (Or at the very least, not entirely correct.)

I never argue just to argue or to be difficult; I do like to discuss, troubleshoot, brainstorm, plan and elaborate. Sometimes I do all of the above more than is wise… Read full post »
