I haven’t had a cold in three years. I’ve had a couple of other serious things, but thankfully, I’ve been blissfully virus free. Until last weekend. I’ve spent the week trying to keep the symptoms down with out ODing on cold meds that kill my kidney, doubling my standard antibiotics so it doesn’t turn into [...]

Yesterday was my 43rd birthday. I celebrated by kidnapping best friend from her family, dragging us out to Galena to meet with my favorite daughter and son-in-law. It’s a day that’s best written about by it’s defining moments, so here goes: Best moment with my best friend: aside from discussing the hotty, straight off the [...]

I’ve been going through life lately, open to signs that things are going in the right direction. For example, when I went out to Minime’s place two weeks before the wedding, there was a rainbow, not just a pretty little rainbow, but the biggest honkinist rainbowie rainbow I’ve ever seen, and it stayed in front [...]

A friend, and fellow cancer survivor, posted this on Facebook yesterday: The Cancer of Life… I’ve frequently and painfully realized, but seldom given it a deserved voice there are many more forms of untreated cancers than the ones they can treat right now. Some are frequent yet subtle visitors ignored beyond the hectic pace we [...]

As I’m writing this, I have Nova playing in the background. Remember Nova? On PBS? I haven’t watched it in years. I usually flip past anything documentary-ish because I lived with someone for a decade and a half that watched nothing but documentaries. I’m not against them, I’m just really tired of them, and unless [...]

We lost some huge personalities this week. Personally I’m a lot more upset about Farrah Fawcett than Michael Jackson. I respect his talent, which was huge, but he had so many problems, and that negativity overshadowed the pure energy that he was when he was performing. His life was twisted and tortured by his own [...]

My dear friend Ken complained that I hadn’t written 1000 words about a cat hairball or some other trivia in my world, so I’m here to report that there have been no recent hairballs, (YAY!) but life has been busy. It’s SPRING people! There are lawns to cut, plants to water, sun to enjoy. Saturday [...]

Wow, I’m a slacker. I’ve been going non-stop since I got back from vacation, and by the time I get to writing at night, it’s been a choice between writing and sleep. Guess which wins? *Warning – This post is picture heavy, it may take a while to load. I know I posted a bit [...]

Today was extraordinarily beautiful. I drove another 400 miles, and all but the first 50 or so of it was in some sort of foothills or mountains. I have many pics to go through, but there was a lot of time where the camera sat on the seat next to me and I just enjoyed [...]
