Wishing Amazon would get this sorted out

Things I PonderDecember 29, 2022940Views 0Likes 0Comments

The end of the year is, for me -- and I assume many others -- a time of annual review, annual bookkeeping and the beginnings of getting my docs and accounting together for tax preparation. I very much appreciate that banks, credit cards and such institutions allow me to categorize my purchases with tags and such.…

Hello, Future

I'm not much of one for the fast-food experience: long lines, food that feels good going in but rarely feels as good an hour or two later, and prices that have me preferring my home-cooked meals rich in nutrients and low in ingredients I don't know how to pronounce. But that don't mean I'm not fascinated…

Patience: A Christmas Story

On my way to my mother's house earlier today to join up with her and my brother for Christmas dinner, I was nearing the exit I needed to take when I found myself behind a little red-colored Prius kinda moseying along the highway. It was in the far right lane, as was I, and I…

So, a couple of weeks ago, I made some all-natural balm. It's a thing I do. A super-easy craft. A super-easy gift. A super-easy little project. I put out a bunch of the tins of balm for the various Amazon, UPS and such drivers who deliver packages in my neighborhood and encouraged them to take a…

And one for you …

Someone took one! Yay! Ever since my sister Rebecca showed me years ago how incredibly easy, quick and simple it was to make your own homemade salves and balms, I've made some batches here and there. This year I thought it would be nice to gift a little tin of balm to the various Amazon, USPS, UPS…

I love the whole super-hero genre of films and TV series. Not the actual print comics, per se, and not the animated stuff, but the films, the movies, the one with humans, metas and superheroes on screen. That whole tortured-soul, personal-demons-to-overcome, life-isn't-automatically-easy-when-you're-a-super-hero thing works for me. Well, that and the worlds they live in. Two of my…

It has been a handful of years since I published my Uber Chronicles books, and these past few months I've been reviewing them and polishing them up a bit. Here's the introduction to book two in the five-book series, Uber Chronicles: Reflections from the Rearview Mirror. Be a fly on the wall … or a fly…

A bit of love for the Uber Chronicles books

After publishing my Uber Chronicles books, I received some attention, albeit not (yet) from The New York Times book reviews. Here are some of the author interviews I gave and book reviews I found online. Andi's Book Reviews What was the inspiration behind this book? I think most people get into grooves (or ruts) in their lives…

Dudley!

It's not often a child actor transitions well to a successful acting career as an adult, but Harry Melling has, imo, done so brilliantly ... and unexpectedly. I didn't even RECOGNIZE Dudley Dursley of the Harry Potter world in the Coen brothers’ "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs." Touched my heart, he did! Now that I can spot…

This evening’s spontaneous craft project! I have these classic, well-made boots I bought well over a decade ago. Maybe even 15 years ago. They were a rich caramel brown. Nice, but when I got my colors analyzed and discovered I was a cool summer (dusty, smoky cool colors work well on me), I…

I love the Interwebs. I love the Omeleto movies. Some are more fabulous than others. This one was adorable.

Makes me smile

Oh my! I am not one prone to post cute dog, cat and animal photos and videos. (I enjoy that others do; it just ain't my thing.) But THIS?!! This gave me both pause and a reason to smile. I think the music is Cajun. Check this on-beat dog out. @funnybob33 Feel the beat! #funnybob #dog #dancingdog…
