My husband was ever so excited to show me the latest app for his new-fangled smart phone: Swype. The idea is that you no longer TYPE on that ever so annoying virtual keyboard. No, now we humans don’t even need the dexterity of our fingers to send a text, an email or even to tweet. [...]
This lil blog got hacked. The techies, quick to the fix, their brains barely racked. But the site took on some licks. So as things get reset to the way of my choosing don’t get sad or beset. Enjoy festive boozing! Yes, go sip an egg nog or a Ramos fizz gin. Nibble a yule [...]
CS and I take lots of pictures of Sun. In the age of digital film, we are all amateur photographers with no costs of development to worry about. At year end, we pick our favorite pictures and print them for a photo album we have for Sun. In looking at that photo album tonight, I [...]
Oh, holidays, how you exhaust me. I can’t really even blame the holiday season. The end of year is usually a bit busier for me at the office, and this year is no exception. And with it getting dark so early, I am finding myself very tired as soon as I walk in the door [...]

But for whatever reason, I need to shut down and turn off the computer. All of it. No blogging (writing or reading), no e-mails [...]
Gustav is underway. And I have NOT been glued to the television. As a matter of fact, it may as well be off. We have it on but muted. No, my addiction is Twitter. It is instant gratification and information. Instead of trying to figure which news channel to watch, which to trust (especially being [...]
Too tired to write what I saw. Here are pics instead: Incredible, eh? First purchase of the day was from Artist Sisters. Aren’t these Ugly Dolls cute? Emily the Strange. Con-goers striking a pose. 0 I Like This
CS had today off. Oh, what to do? How not to waste the day? I read the newspaper and scanned what events were going on today. There was a book sale at one of the libraries. That’s always a good thing to me. Then there was a party for the streetcar beginning the route from [...]
