Britney Spears

On the occassions that a story about her has crossed my radar, (it’s hard to avoid the trainwreck) my immediate thoughts have always been that there is something mentally erratic in her make-up.  The two worst case scenarios that occur to me are manic-depression, or, schizophrenia.  Neither one is easy to manage.  Unfortunately, neither one is ever [...]

You Guys.

Thanks you guys for logging onto my blog space.  You guys could have picked from millions of internet sites–as many sites as there are other guys writing them, (duh-h-h) but, you guys, (I’m tearing up here) you guys picked me!  I can’t tell you guys how much this means to me.  You guys are spending your [...]

Barbie La Mew

This is a story about a cat named Barbie, and, how she got her name.  There has always been a cat in my life.  Several years ago, the last cat to live here before Barbie (named Sam) had to be put to sleep. 
The then new man in my life, Ken, who had never had a cat, [...]

Finished Stained Glass Project

 
Finished a glass project today for customers.  I have a small enterprise that has been an on-going part of my work life for quite a long time.  The bulk of the stained glass work that I do is custom inserts for in kitchen cabinet doors, or other similiar types of cabinetry. 
If, for example, you were in the market for [...]

Road Rage

Saw a Mother of a Road Rager today.  Merging onto bridges is a daily road hazard for many people in this part of the country.  Cars going 60+ mph coming from the left (frequently needing to end up in the extreme right hand lane) must negotiate territory with people coming from the right at 60+ mph (who frequently need to [...]

Time “To Do” Lunch Anyone?

Your Time is your Life’s Money

Adopt a weekly schedule with regular days for errands and chores.  Include a big trip for groceries once a week, one small trip 3-4 days later for minor fresh items, banking once a week, laundry at a regular weekly or daily time.  Most people have too many things to do.  Having a routine erases the the question [...]

The Borg

Those of you who are/were Star Trek Next Gen fans know about the Borg.  A group of aliens with evil intentions, the Borg were half-machine/half some kind of galactic alien being that through some kind of amazing evolutionary coincidence, just happen to look like humans.  Interconnected into a collective, each Borg ( I think the singular and plural [...]
