1. I’ve always been fascinated by the group mind that humans share, which causes us to agree about certain things like what day of the week it is, or to stay in our own lane on the right side of the road while driving down a highway. What would happen if we completely dropped out […]
1.Come in…sit down…relax…converse…my desk doesn’t always look like this….sometimes it’s even worse. When I was growing up my mother had a plaque in the kitchen with those words on it, except the word “desk” read “house.” With 9 kids, even though she was great at housekeeping, I guess she felt the need for a disclaimer. […]
1. This is the time of year when sitting on my own porch can make me feel guilty. We have a family of phoebe’s nesting in our rafters, and when we go out onto the porch the parents get all agitated and watch every move we make. 2. The birds are back…checking out the real […]
1. If all of us bloggers met in room, would we recognize each other? 2. Sometimes I feel like a waitress. After serving up my post for the day, I wait for the comments the way a waitress waits for tips. 3. I wait for seeds to come up the same way. Last week I […]
1. Now that cell phones are popular, I don’t even have to try to hide the fact that I talk to myself in the car while I’m driving. I just pretend I’m on the phone. 2. When my house gets messy it’s not a sign of a poor work ethic as much as a result […]
1. I went to my first blog that had blogger ID. I don’t even have caller ID on my phone yet! Of course there is always the chance that “Have a Great Day in Floyd!” is always displayed on their sidebar, but I doubt it. 2. There were also sound effects of water dripping, which […]
1. If I was made of pottery and the sun was my kiln, my glaze would be freckles. 2. Now that I have DSL and my phone line isn’t tied up when I’m on line I’m seeing how many people don’t actually call me. 3. Glancing at a BMG music catalog that had just come […]
1. There are mornings that I’m glad to wake-up just so I can get some rest. Last night I dreamt that I got lost in city, was the lead in a play, had several costume changes, wore high heels, and forgot my lines. 2. Number 33 on my list of 100 Things About Me reads: […]
1. Sometimes I feel my writing is something like Erma Brombeck meets Rumi. 2. Pen and ink is to art what acoustic guitar is to electric. 3. I don’t write for a living but I live for writing. 4. My notebooks are to my mind what pans are to a house with a leaking roof. […]
1. I recently had a first blog birthday. On Monday, March 20, when I posted “Happy Birthday to Loose Leaf” it was also my dad’s birthday, the first since he passed away this past November. He would have been 82. 2. I have an email pen pal who found me via hearing my blog entry […]
1. My current favorite Irish quote is this one: “I have never liked working. To me a job is an invasion of privacy.” – Danny McGoorty 2. This is what I said in a past entry about how my Irish background was a consideration in the conception of this blog: I wasn’t completely aware of […]
1. Pelicans always look like cartoon characters to me. When they crash down into the water to catch fish, it looks like slapstick. 2. What a world! If spring is taking too long, you can drive south to meet it. Drive a little further and you’ll run into summer. 3. I love the sound a […]
