We watched a couple of Transformers movies recently. I remember my son watching the cartoons in the 1980's. Transformers is product of American and Japanese media franchises and toy companies. It follows the battles of sentient, living autonomous robots, who can transform into other forms, such as vehicles and animals. The Autobots are the good … Continue reading Luminaire
Sometimes we all just need to take a break. A friend of mine told me that last week he went to Texas and engaged in some therapy, recoil therapy that is. He said that for a couple of days, he got to forget everything else and concentrate on exactly what he was doing there on … Continue reading Bullseye
Boy that just irks me! Watching old Westerns and when the bad guys come up to the cabin, the good guys inside almost always break the window before shooting. Is it so hard to open the window first, then shoot? Do you know how hard it must have been to get windows replaced in the … Continue reading Windows
While watching an old television Western, Tales of Wells Fargo, I had two thoughts come to me. The first was when the bandits stopped the stage coach. Thanks to the pandemic, my thought was, how nice that they were wearing their masks. The second was regarding the man riding shotgun. He was seated on the … Continue reading Riding shotgun
I was stopped yesterday by three people in my town with a population of approx. 7500 souls. These three people were running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

My husband suggested putting in a pat of butter to make it savory. So I did. Then the physics lesson in thermodynamics began. (I … Continue reading I’m melted butter
I remember when I had to suffer through this. New Math. It was taught during the 1950's—1970's. It was supposed to be a dramatic change in the way math was taught, emphasizing “discovery learning.” Students worked in groups to invent theories about the problems posed in the textbooks. The goal was get past children only … Continue reading New Math
I have been reviewing 2020 to look for moments I can be grateful for. The biggest one has been the connections I've made with others. I have had more meaningful conversations with people over the phone and through emails than in previous years. Folks are happy to talk and we have shared more in a … Continue reading Fingerprints
In my efforts to be more mindful to express gratitude daily, I realized that sometimes it is the simple pleasures that brings us to a place of thankfulness. Like the way my mouth feels after brushing my teeth. A warm bed. The first cup of coffee in the morning. Vanilla lip balm. Cocoa butter lotion. … Continue reading Flames
