Kentucky Tornadoes

Several folks have asked me about my reaction to the recent tornadoes in Kentucky.  We are becoming a new tornado alley, and the area I live in experiences several tornadoes every year.  They have ripped up many towns within 20 miles of my home, and a couple years ago one

Grandma Got Run Over By a Santa

 
 
Grandma got run over by a Santa
Who was wearing wore out long johns and a thong;
And upon his balding head
He wore a tie died hat, not red;
He looked so very terribly, completely wrong!

So Grandma stared helplessly at Santa

My Fantasy Island

 
 
One of my favorite little fantasies is imagining what I would take with me on a deserted island.  Ella Rose is, of course, a given - so there's that.

But what of other things and items?  What if I were stranded for an indefinite period of time on… Read full post »

Back on My Motorcycle - Sorta....

 motor bike wear e_001

I love motorcycles. When I was a youngster I dated guys with motorcycles. One day I found myself without a date and I decided to get my own bike. I drove myself around town and halfway across the country on motorcycles for over twenty years.

A few years ago… Read full post »

Adoration and Pruning

 
 
We headed away from the house and before long we were behind the locust trees. Silas' gait was not slow, but meandering. He scanned the purple flowers all about him as we walked, and every now and then he'd stop and tenderly rub a petal between his fingers.  Aft… Read full post »

Rain Flowers

When I saw and heard John's first sunflower flute two years ago I wanted one - badly.  I begged him, literally, to sell it to me.  For months.

 And for months he politely but decisively declined.  Finally, though a man of very few words, John explained why he would not sell… Read full post »

I Think We Shall Be Very Happy

final paragraphs of O Pioneers, by Willa Cather:

I had a dream before I went to Lincoln-- But I will tell you about that afterward, after we are married. It will never come true, now, in the way I thought it might." She took Carl's arm and they walked toward… Read full post »

Juliet and Romeo


 
 Life is a series of conjoined, entwined, meaningless and purposeful paradoxes that leave us at once bewildered and anxious, and simultaneously certain and thrilled.  These moments spiral about us, sometimes colliding into one another, and splashing us with cosmic sparks so fine we… Read full post »

The Ultimate Weight Loss Program

I've been quite honest about this point, I think.  I do not enjoy reading about food.  I do not enjoy preparing food.  I do not enjoy talking about, writing about, buying food.  
 
Essentially, the only thing I enjoy about food is eating it - and even that is not… Read full post »

Customer Service? WHAT Customer Service?

Just one more example in a growing log of really lousy customer service experiences....

 

I've never purchased the enhanced service packets when I've bought from Best Buy. Because they are the only game in town I have bought the last four computers for myself and my family from Best Buy.  Th… Read full post »

If Only in My Dreams

I host Sunday afternoon races in Second Life from 3 to 4, Eastern time.  I felt a little tired earlier on this particular Sunday, so I took a nap.  And while I slept, of course I dreamt.

In my dream I awoke abruptly, precisely at 2:45 pm.  I sprang up… Read full post »

News Flash - SEX SELLS!



You know me.   I’m just a simple (some would say “simple-minded”), old fashioned (some would say “prudish”), generally uninformed (some would say, “plain ignorant”) country girl (some would say “IDIOT!”).

In short, I am slow in the areas o… Read full post »

To Tink: So Many Questions, So Little Time


 
Look at this picture.  Look at long and hard.  Study it.  Contemplate it.  Meditate upon it.  Maybe even pray over it.

Why is Kit running in a hamster wheel?

Duncan Yoyo? If the Name Fits....

The Wingsong Yoyo – simple, fun, ridiculously inexpensive!

So the other night a couple of the Mad Scientists I keep locked down in the tunnels under the Wingsong Dojo got bored, and one of them says to the other one, “What we need is a YOYO!”

So, being of… Read full post »

The Numbers of Leiby


I listened to and read with horror the story of eight year old Leiby Kletzky.  Abducted during a seven block walk from day camp to his home in Brooklyn, his dismembered remains were found in the home of a man now held for his murder.

An Infinite Amount of Imagination!

 
 
I grew up in the sixties.  Back then, before it became cool to engender the adoration of fans by wearing wild hair, screaming like a banshee, and smashing expensive guitars on a stage, American heroes sometimes wore space suits.

On the evening of 20 July 1969 we were… Read full post »

Give Me a Call When You Get There!

 
 
As she left to go to work this afternoon I called out my usual mantra, chanted each time Ella Rose leaves the house.

“Give me a call when you get there!”

“I will!” she yelled back, and then the door separated me from complete security.  I am… Read full post »

Junk or Good Stuff: Adventures in Style and Diversity


 
Many years ago I was commissioned to write a training manual and conduct workshops for employees of a Fortune 500 company.  With some amount of frustration, the managers of the company told me they were losing thousands of dollars daily dealing with conflict among their work force.

Caylee Anthony: Poster Child for a Flawed Judicial System?


 
Yesterday our nation celebrated its freedom.  Today a woman celebrates her own personal freedom.  She faces up to four years of jail time for lesser crimes, but she has been acquitted of crimes that could have netted her a death sentence.
