Come along if you care,
Come along if you dare,
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought,
Beyond the realm of what,
Across the streets of hopes and dreams where things are really not…

Big experiment this morning: Kellogg’s has a new cereal, “mini wheats with no frosting” aka “shredded wheat” So to be a good girl, I measured. As cereals go, it’s a good one- full of fiber and all. Well, 200 calories is 30 biscuits- and whoa! 30 biscuits doesn’t look like much. I poured it [...]
As a homemaker/part-time sage and goddess, the most awkward thing I run into is meeting strangers at parties. Particularly other women for some reason. It’s because, not knowing what else to say, people balance their tea cup and their cheese square on a toothpick and burst forth with, “So, what do YOU do?” When I [...]
I haven’t seen any woolybear caterpillars to “evaluate” but all signs point to an early Winter. We had a spell of dry weather and lots of plants in the yard seem to be closing up early.

Watch for falling stockbrokers! Mr. President, Senators and other phony-baloney politicians- y’all better fix this thing soon!
Sunday, Pyrate and I went to lunch in Frederick in honor of his 58th birthday. mmm- meat loaf! Then we took a turn around the mall to walk off the calories. There were people there, but I think a [...]
First in honor of Tim Russert’s untimely passing yesterday, a link to brush you up on the warning signals for a heart attack and what to do: HeartAttack
I heard a disturbing statistic that nearly half the time a person’s first heart attack is their LAST heart attack- as in, See Ya Around The [...]
I wish my life was non-stop Hollywood movie show
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die
-Ray Davies & The Kinks, 1972
And now Harvey Korman has passed on. The Lord said there were many mansions, and I like to think there might be some [...]
Our local library offers the best service ever! I can search their catalog from home and if I find a book I want, type in my card number and reserve it. If it’s a bestseller or fairly new, it automatically puts me in the queue for the book and I check a box indicating the [...]
John LeCarre wrote some great books about George Smiley, “Master Spy”. Man that Cold War stuff was great. I need to read them again! There are lots of plot twists- like riding a roller coaster!
Smiley, is an aging British Intelligence agent. He didn’t get the girls like James Bond though. In the miniseries’, he’s played [...]
