1. My sister Sherry is a Grammy winner. She just became a grammy for the second time and has a beautiful new granddaughter named Chole. 2. My Grammy highlights were that I got to watch. After years (since HD) of having only one network channel, I fooled around with the menu settings and the antennae […]
1. I know for sure that the economy is improving. Our hens just started laying again. 2. If a scribe is such a noble profession how come the word scribble means to make a bunch of careless or worthless writings or drawings? 3. Eknath Eswaran was talking about meditation and choosing a mantra when he […]
1. I don’t like it when people precede their sentences with the word “Look,” unless, of course, it’s my 2 year old grandson Liam. 2. Carolyn Kennedy lost her chance to run for Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat in 2008 largely because she came across poorly in interviews, using the term “you know,” 12 times in […]
1. I call the above photo “Drive Safely.” When I posted it on Facebook, comment titles included “A Divided Slideway,” “A Slippery Slope That Takes the Mind on a Ride” and “Taking the Coast-al Route.” 2. My Grandson Bryce on Monday: “I just patted Snoop because sometimes dogs need to be love-did.” 3. Only in […]
1. Strange how we live in a world where convenience means that friends leave messages on two phones (home and cell) and leave comments on two online forums (Facebook and this blog). 2. Sometimes I post the same thing on the blog and on Facebook and then watch the race to see which gets more […]
1. My nephew recently announced the birth of his new baby boy in a family email, saying: His name is Franklin Daniel Redman (FDR). The New Deal is here. 2.

1. My day was made on Monday when I heard Johnny Cash sing I Won’t Back Down on Pandora. 2. Then I told my new iphone lady, Suri, to “play Bob Dylan: Baby, Let Me Follow You Down,” and she did!” 3. I was mildly mortified (an oxymoron?) that I misspelled Seussified in the newspaper […]
1. Recently seen on Facebook: Bad kids get coal. Good kids get solar panels. 2. The funniest thing my four-year old grandson Bryce said to me this week happened when I was writing in a sketch pad. He looked at what I was doing and asked, matter-of-factly: “What’s that, Chinese writing?” I laughed and told […]
1. At my son Josh’s recent 16 Hands home pottery studio tour, I met a pottery collector named Potter. 2. I found out his name when I asked him if he was a potter and he answered with the riddle, “Ever since I was born.” 3. Another 16 Hands conversation went like this: Josh: I’m […]
1. I like to call my friend Eydie, who rings me up at the Harvest Moon health food store, “Sweetie Eydie.” 2. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the word treat has eat and tea and tart right in it. 3. Lately I’ve been liking the word mosey and I want to do more […]
