Today, as has been the case for over a week now, I was having trouble breathing. Something about late August, maybe. For a year, I had been good – no sudden difficulties or that incredibly tired feeling – just the effort to breath taking everything I had. The act of eating seeming to be more […]

I was reading the newest post by Richard Fernandez regarding how upside down our world has become, which echoes my lament of a few days ago, “Irreconcilable Philosophical Differences.” I was so pissed off I forgot to follow through on what I meant by Irreconcilable Philosophical Differences. Won’t happen tonight either, but… in the Belmont […]
This all started because of my neighbor, Steven. A couple of months ago, Steven asked, while petting Ella, if I liked BBQ sauce. Why yes, yes, I do. Turns out he has taken over his father-in-law’s recipe and started a side business of selling BBQ sauce. He offered me a jar and asked that I […]

If you took the summer off or simply listened to music rather than the news, you may be confused as you tune back in. Scandals? What scandals? President Obama and his press secretary, Jay Carney, are stating that the Republicans are creating phony scandals. Hmm. Really? I guess it would depend on what you think […]
I snatched this off a friend’s facebook page – truly amazing.
I have been blessed recently and want to share the joy. I succumbed to summer sloth and stopped posting on a continuous daily basis – okay, every other day basis. But, it also gave me time to go check on some of my every day must read blogs and what I’ve discovered is that maybe […]
