Window of the Senior Shoppe, winter 2006 I put out a request on Facebook and Twitter to see if any of my knitty friends (not “kitty friends,” as my friend Susan misread) would be interested in a craft trade. I desire some well-made leg warmers. Apparently my kitty friends are too busy with their projects…
Read Morequaint memories of a time gone by
The Today Show doesn’t know what the internet is (from 1994) [direct link] Aw, tiny little baby internet. Here is a compendium of memories of first looks at the brand new information superhighway, way back when. Good stuff! Altavista, Archie, BBScom! I had been hearing about the mythical “web” and the Mosaic web browser for…

Mighty Girl wrote a series called Getting My Health Issues In Hand. It’s the blog version of a page-turner. I really like her naked honesty! In one post she talks about exercise. She asked for input on what works for her readers. This is what I wrote in the comment on her post. I have…
Read Moredon’t speak
I have expressed my ever-growing exasperation with people that can’t stop talking and their inability/refusal to read social clues (the clue being: SHUT UP) Therefore, I greatly appreciate these songs. She’s Talking Again by Henry Phillips: [direct link] There’s a sequel (He’s Talking Again) that I also like. You Talk Too Much by Run-DMC: [direct…

Don’t ask: “Can I?” Ask: “I can!” Control your bladder when you’re dead! No blood, no oil. There’s no I in win! What a show.

Another monthly challenge to myself: read a book, and report on it here (to keep me honest.) These will not be terribly in depth or insightful reviews. Of all the challenges I am giving myself in 2011, this is one of the hardest. I am so out of the habit of reading books, particularly fiction,…

My visual interpretation of the below. I was at a New Year’s Eve party somewhere in New York. The party was inhabited by not-friendly strangers. I was in a hurry to leave — I needed to stop at my friends’ house before I caught my flight, which was later in the morning. As I drove,…
Read Morecraftbox: jaws!
One of the weirder crafts I completed for the holidays was for my friend Violet. We were at a nautically themed eating establishment last fall; there were shark jaws hung on the wall — a not-surprising bit of decor. Violet mentioned offhand that it would be cool to have some jaws on her wall, but…

My friend Paul and I, both posting daily in 2011, decided to challenge each other once a month to keep things spicy. In his words, “we want to push ourselves to do something more interesting than we might otherwise.” I will put his challenge to me at the bottom of this post — it’s your…
Read Morefood, glorious food
This is my sister Annie in 2006, when she came out to visit. We were eating the best brunch of our lives. I am starting to feel better and am struggling to get back into my Sensible Regime of Food and Fitness. No more reality TV marathons and buttered crackers. Sigh. Since I have a…
