1. I’ve just now started watching Mad Men, the award winning series about an ad agency in 1960. It’s appealing in a period piece way, the way Downton Abby is to so many. While watching recently, I thought to myself, oh, so that’s what Bewitched’s Darren was doing when Samanatha was home being a housewife. […]

1. Google’s search engine had a birthday cake graphic up on my birthday, which made me feel kind of creepy. 2. On my birthday I spell my name Colleeeeeeen and eat pie for dinner. 3. I took and processed a few hundred pictures over the weekend, covering a Lyme Disease Symposium, a powerful local theater […]
1. I’m not sure what it means, but I saw a sign on Facebook that said “Go Van Gogh.” 2. What’s more a bolt or a jolt? 3. Last night I told Joe that I like pasta so much that I might be a Pastafarian. 4. Why is there no 13 font on my computer? […]
1. The addition of the letter S to the word Lyme in Amy Tan’s article, SLyme Disease: How a Speck Changed My Life Forever, is not only like a mutant plural, but it also has a double meaning. Her story is worth the read and could easily be one about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. See HERE. 2. […]
1. My energy is better at night. In the morning I sometimes wake-up feeling like I have leukemia, which is why I hate going to bed because I hate waking up, and the later I stay up the more I hate waking up. 2. Taking pictures is a lot like writing. You have to have […]
1. Driving my Honda CRV/SUV is like using my PC, the way driving Joe’s low to the ground Honda Civic/Compact car is like using my non-standard keyboarded little Netbook with no Adobe Photoshop. 2. Four-year-old Liam to me: Your car smells old. Me: That’s because the windshield leaks and the water makes it smell musty. […]

1. The first sign that we were in the south while on our spring break road trip was when Joe spotted a dead armadillo in the road. 2. Somewhere driving through Alabama or Georgia, we gained an hour, which was like the gift that kept on giving and put a whole new perspective on the […]
1. Flowers in pots? Pot holes that is: Check out THIS Guerrilla Mosaic artist’s work. 2. I wonder if our new Rhode Island Red chicks will have a New England accented chirp and why THESE chickens are pink. 3. A line that made me laugh during the Floyd Community Theatre Guild’s performance of The Importance […]
1. I couldn’t keep a straight face, and neither could the librarian, when I called the local library and asked them to reserve a book series with titles: Crabby Crab, Cowy Cow, Doggy Dog and Clammy Clam. 2. When my grandson Bryce got off the school bus when I was babysitting last week, I gave […]
