1. I think of blogging as rapid fire target practice. Doing it daily, I can’t help but improve my writer’s aim, but sometimes my arm gets tired! 2. I’m one step further in my goal of having my blog at least generate enough income to keep me in printer ink ($85 a pop for all […]
1. Since I started doing the 13 Thursday I’ve been on the lookout for opportunities to photograph 13 images, but due to the superstition surrounding the number, it hasn’t been easy. There is no #13 floor in most buildings, no #13 seat on planes. No airport gates. No #13 room in most hotels. 2. Evidently, […]
1. Last Thursday was the one year anniversary (52 weeks) of “Thirteen Thursday,” which was created by Leanne at Intricate Art. It marked my 43rd Thirteen Thursday post. I’m thinking about putting out a best of 13. You know, like musicians put of a “best of” album. 2. Did you know that you could buy […]
1. My kitchen is a disaster area. My desk is in an uproar. My car hasn’t been cleaned out since my husband and I returned from our beach vacation over a week ago. I’m still processing photographs from my son’s July 8th wedding, and my feet are dirty from barefoot dancing at Floyd Fest. My […]
1. I was in 13 heaven this vacation week when I came across several good 13 images to photograph. This one is my favorite. Besides the main sign and the one on the left, there’s a 3rd one across the street that isn’t visible at this shrunk down size. 2. My one regret was not […]
1. My brother Joey is addicted to scratch tickets. I thought it was strange how often he stopped to buy them when he was here for my son’s wedding, but then I realized that it wasn’t that much different than me stopping several times a day to see if I have any blog comments. 2. […]
1. I don’t understand certain meats. There’s rump roast, pot roast, chuck roast, and roast beef. I’ve always been confused about what to buy and then, how to cook it. 2. I feel the same way about coffee. I’m not a coffee drinker and when it comes to making it, I’m developmentally delayed. I still […]
1. I can boil eggs every morning to exact perfection without using a timer or looking at a clock, and can fill the teakettle with the precise amount of water for one cup of tea, but if someone else is around, my perfect timing goes to hell. 2. “If we all got more erotic, we […]
1. I once had a bumper sticker on my car that I hung upside down. It read “Why Be Normal?” 2. I also had a recycling bumper sticker that I stuck on my car twice. It said “Once is Not Enough.” 3. Speaking of normal and not being so, my sister Kathy recently had a […]
1. Trying to write in a café is like trying to sleep on a bus. I sleep better at home in my own bed and write better at home too. 2. Remember back in elementary school how relevant your last name was because it determined who you would sit next to? By that logic, if […]
1. This is my first Father’s Day since my father left this world. 2. Here is my “13 Things about My Father,” written just after he died. And this is the WVTF Public Radio essay tribute that I wrote about his WWII military service, which he read with tears in his eyes just 4 months […]
1. Most people like to ride shotgun in a car, but I like to sit in the backseat because it’s more like a couch that I can stretch out and rest on and spread all my stuff out. 2. Number 40 of my 100 Things About Me says: I’d rather be stuck in traffic than […]
