A friend of mine in another state is having her 60th birthday party and sent me an e-vite. It’s an important year for all of us turning 60. It’s a sort of road map that says: “Two-thirds of the way done…” There was an excellent deal on air fares and I searched thru, thinking I […]

Yesterday (by time of this posting), I wrote a post that was way too long (1,800 words or so) and along the way, I mentioned the potential of the Brainiac Fund. I’d like to highlight a few in that brain pool: With great joy, I read yesterday that Bill Hamilton of Dealing With COPD announced […]
I’ve been mostly offline for two or three weeks and came back today. The world had moved on in my absence. It was not supposed to do that, but it did. You may wonder why I’ve reblogged so many posts about my friend, Rara of Rarasaur.com fame. I learned today that my friend, one of […]
I realize afresh how much I have to be thankful for. Friends from out of town are coming in today. I’ve known this particular friend, Nori, from the time we were 16 and met at McDonald’s. That’s a friendship of 43 years, guys. I woke this morning full of self-doubt. Would they like my home? […]

Neither one could explain what the Sunshine Award was for. They thought it may have something […]
I picked up my mail today. There was a card from my friend, Maureen Bernardy. I am pretty sure she never meant for me to publish it, but she flooded my heart with joy. Here’s the card and what she wrote. … Okay, so I have tried to reproduce the card here with no success. […]
DP Challenge: You wake up tomorrow morning to find all your plans have been cancelled for the next seven days and $10,000 on your dresser. Tell us about your week. Alright. I will freely admit my brain shorted out – all synapses snapped. I desperately hoped I’d pay up on any outstanding bills, make sizeable […]
Daily Prompt Challenge: Plot of Earth: You’re given a plot of land and have the financial resources to do what you please. What’s the plan? My plot of land is about 50 acres, give or take a bushel or two, with all the appropriate appurtances, i.e., it has water, a river, good soil, a good […]
