I love you, Catalina, you are very dear to me.
I love you, Tamalpais, and I love Yosemite.
I love you, Land of Sunshine, Half your beauties are untold.
I loved you in my childhood, and I’ll love you when I’m old.

I’ve been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
I can’t take this very much longer
I’m stranded in the sleet and rain
Don’t think I’m ever gonna make it home again
The mornin’ sun is risin’
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’
I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’
It’s [...]
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind may blow
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
I’m not sure who wrote this- I think it’s a Christmas carol by “traditional” The thing is Christmas comes just four days after the start of Winter; I [...]
I feel like I got a lot done today- time to slack off! Just in time for the “wintry mix” tomorrow night, I’ve got all the floors done. The dogs don’t understand “wiping their muddy paws” so about Friday, I’ll have to do it again. My shiny kitchen floor looks lonely; I’m thinking about getting [...]
No kidding- I heard this one the other day pushing my cart around the Super Fresh. I guess this is the 21st century version of “elevator music”. The stores pay money and it’s satellite radio, but I’m not sure if it’s XM or some other provider. I can’t explain how odd it strikes me [...]
Well, I was playing “what would I wear to an Inaugural Ball”? I can’t afford Chanel or Oscar DeLaRenta., so I was looking at “ready to wear” …and I found this
Dude! That’s what I wore to school in 1972. No kidding.
I have lived long enough to see the return of The Granny Dress! Interesting though, [...]
Hi- I sent this out as an e-mail to my buddies yesterday, so some of you have already seen this. One of the most fascinating (and a bit sad) things I’ve seen in a long time. Yes, it’s a link, but trust me, it’s worth taking a look here
This is montage of photographs of people’s [...]
“I’m convinced that today the majority of Americans want what those first Americans wanted: A better life for themselves and their children; a minimum of government authority. Very simply, they want to be left alone in peace and safety to take care of the family by earning an honest dollar and putting away some savings. [...]
As the appointed big Switchover Day for digital television approaches, we’re picking up new “side channels” Now we have a channel called “This” So new apparently, the network doesn’t seem to have a website. In the evenings, they show old movies. The way we used to watch them, with the commercials. This morning I flipped [...]
HeidiLou tagged me for a photo meme. Well okay. Not sure if it’s supposed to be a photo of me, or a random photo. But I do have an interesting random one! This was taken by a govt. photographer in the course of his/her duties, so it belongs to the people of the USA. Cool. [...]
