A very gray day

Today was--at least where I live--a very gray day. (We had a spectacular, fiery sunset minutes ago, but that's a side note and not the purpose of this post. It was pretty darn spectacular, though!) I had planned to do a number of errands on this very gray day, starting at the Canton Car Wash for…

Someday, we’ll be together …

Awww. I was recently encouraged to--and did--watch "The Big Bang Theory." (There's a strong line of Aspergers in my family and the show provides a lovely reminder that some folks cannot read social cues--something my child self and all-my-life self knows well.) I loved the show--much more than I thought I would. Truly did. After watching TBBT,…

Mesmerized

Timothée Chalamet may be a scrawny little thing--a young 'un as well (at least from my chronological perspective), and yet I find myself entranced and completely focused each--and every--time his face slow-moes up on the screen in the Bleu de Chanel commercial featuring him. The music doesn't hurt either. Thank you, Martin Scorsese. Well done!

Zillennial nonsense

Generations are typically 20-23 years in length in recent centuries and are getting longer, not shorter; so this whole 14-years-for-Millennials and the same number of years for…

Mission (effectively) accomplished

On occasion I click and open the emails from my county government. In today's email was an announcement about a HoCo Lights neighborhood guide to finding homes and businesses decorated with elaborate and fun holiday lights. I think this is grand. I really do. And it's a great project for the county government to take on. They…

But where?

Tryna figure out if a message someone sent me really happened or if I dreamed it. So many tools, platforms and options to consider. Was it an email message I read? Or one on Linkedin? Maybe it was Facebook, or a text? And if it was email, which? (I have a few.) Or, maybe it was…

Must. Have.

It's an interesting thing to witness -- how much the world changes, especially in the course of one's own lifetime. Some changes are huge and grand such as a nation's boundaries redrawn through war or peace, or a new technology (for me, handheld GPS) that changes Everything. Many changes are small and incremental, but add…

Click-clack-clack

Some articles I write flow. Others, erg, don't. Yet deadlines loom and publications need to go press (legit, this article on my plate is for a print newspaper), and so I go on. *** In looking for an image to go with this post, an old typewriter popped into mind. I actually did elementary, middle-school and high-school homework on a…
