Los Alimentos y el Martes: Latkes Verde
(Not really Spanish; it's Google.)
"LATKE RECIPE
Directions: It is your job to make the potato latkes for a Hanukkah party." (Bubele, I'm talking to you sweetie.) "Unfortunately, your cousin Howie found the recipe first and changed it to play a joke on you. Before you can begin cooking, you must… Read full post »
What Open Salon Means To Me
Many of you, the savvy readers of these pages, have been supportive beyond a person's wildest expectations. And the thing which resonates for me is that I have eschewed the "social networking" aspects of this place and still something akin to that has happened. I'm posting two images before the wordi… Read full post »
Chris Matthews Steals Eleanor Clift's Most Famous Line
The dedicated pundit you know me to be is on guard for those
moments when a sidetrack from the world according to me at that
particular moment is boldly being flaunted on the flat-panel, up
for which real sheckels have been coughed. (Back at you
Winston.)

Wisdom, Side of Tip; Meditation, Side of Exclusive OS Video
WISDOM: Open Salon is open mic night for those who can appreciate the negative connotations of "open mic night."
TIP: With an iffy or just plain slow connection, you can pause a YouTube video right after it starts playing, let the red progress bar get well ahead of the position marker… Read full post »
The Whole "Snowchilada"


Connections
I grew up near the Pulaski Skyway, a span which leads one from the noxious odors of The Garden State which claimed my youth to the city where if you can make it etc., etc.
I have a toaster with stamped homages to girders and rivets.

Should I Wait for "Weepy Wednesday?"
Should I wait for weepy wednesday?
Or just write it while it's fresh
Glad you just checked in to say
You'd crossed the wilderness
We have cell phones in the forest
That's a sign of changing times
Made it back to find your truck
And called to ease my mind… Read full post »
Photoshop - Tricks of the Trade [Part I]
Photoshop is an enormous program, standalone or in a suite. Some people install it and then feel daunted by it's complexity. Perhaps a favorite filter here and there but then the freebie software that came along with the camera seems to do just fine.
Operating systems, especially Macs I hear,… Read full post »
What's a Segue?
I'm in the sixth stage of grief I fear: cloying sentimentality at the loss of valued fellow bloggers.
I don't know if that requires a hanky, a bib or a bucket, but it sure has me wanting to work through the process before my next refill, er, the next full… Read full post »
Erma Bombeck's Got Nothing On This
More Like the Bends, Actually
We Interrupt This Blog
This is my thirty-seventh post in a non-neverending series called "Maybe They Want Kitties." (That's an in-joke because my most super lame post ever made it to the COVER! - is there a bigger font? - TWICE!)
Martha, get the Kinisin!
(Don't worry folks, we was just ACTIN'! And… Read full post »
Compared to What?
I wonder sometimes how many people share in a wont for reason in our politics?
Though often outside the mainstream I've found and can articulate positions on many issues which are consistent, a plus in that paradigm. Given a forum where reason prevails, I'm confident that I or (more likely)… Read full post »
Trust Me, He's a Terrorist
Half the trouble we get ourselves into as a country seems more attributable to our national attention deficit than the once normal range of vicissitudes.
Yes, the world has handed us more thorny problems of late, but only the die-hard chauvinists among us refuse the rest of us the right… Read full post »
Ghost Town News
I spent some time down the hill at our old stomping ground a while back and posted a photo-essay. Several "friendorites" asked to hear more backstory about how we came to live in the cabin at Paxton Springs.
Here goes.
Hope I don't grind the gears.

How Many Checks, Oh Lord
Yellow - Only Taoists Buy Yellow Pocket "T"s
King Wen's decision
Falling away
Unfavorable to have somewhere to go
Confucious' commentary on that

Falling away is decaying.
The yielding want to change the firm.

Stuping by Woods
This all was built since I've been here;
I can't pretend to know this sphere.
Though it's a 'never mind' you know?
Their signatory line is clear.
My humble camera caught this shot:
An
alien's eye is what it's got.
This dome of gold and white so grand...

My Christmas Card to Open Salon
Blog Truffles
Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain
mornings,
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night

Dirt roads and white lines and all kinds of stop
signs,
But I stand right here where I'm at,
'Cause I wear My Own Kind Of… Read full post »
Oh My God! I Know!
Some of you know that I have been learning the ins and outs of a Sony (descended from Minolta) digital single lens reflex camera and now that my Photoshop is upgraded to where I can use their beta camera raw plug-in, I've been leaning toward the photo essay lately. Wind chills… Read full post »
