NCIS

Okay … so I like NCIS! For a few scary minutes last night I thought DiNozzo was a gonner and I would have to quit watching my favorite forensic show, NCIS (since he is my favorite on the team) but deep inside I knew somehow he couldn’t be dead even though he was fried to a crisp right before my [...]

A Cold Day In Hell

Something else I wrote a while back … June 18, 1999 Today I had a few minutes left of my lunch hour and decided to run to ZCMI and pick up a long skirt to wear to the family reunion Saturday. I really shouldn’t say “run” … because my left leg sports a cast that [...]

Thanks To The Teachers

My grand daughter asked me if I had a favorite teacher who impacted my life more than any of the others.   That is a tough question for me.   I was a good student and probably most of my teachers liked having me in their class … at least they should have!     Even my two least favorite teachers had [...]

A Samaritan On A Motorcycle

My new friend, Alice,  has a great post today that starts with the sentence:  “On your daily journeys, do you ever randomly glance at someone, and make an assumption about that person based on the way they’re dressed?”     I am also a fascinated member of the People Watching Society.     It’s as intriguing to walk through the city [...]

Confession Time

I’m going to spill my guts and it has the potential of getting me into a lot of trouble.    Honey has a low tolerance for the type of thing I am about to publicly reveal. When I retired I started to slowly reorganize some things at home.   You know, when you organize your stuff, you go from room to room and find [...]

Technical Difficulties

I am experiencing technical difficulties … and they aren’t temporary.   Anything technical and I have difficulties, and it is chipping away bit by electronic bit at my self esteem.   You name it … computers, sewing machines, televisions, DVD players, mp3 players, microwaves,  remote controls … they intimidate me.       Intimidation by association has become a big problem for [...]
