Where We Are Economically
Executive summary of economist John Rosenberg’s sharp analysis of where we are: " We're in for harder times, more bankruptcies, a major shift toward frugality and more saving, smaller cars, smaller houses, lower stock prices, lower home prices, and a handsome return from 10-year Treasuries. But the...

Chain Gang Work @ Tina Tempo
It's either sit here and blog (my preference), or get up and do what I need to do! I'm not very motivated these days toward cleaning the bathrooms but tomorrow company cometh and I need for them, and the kitchen, to be sparkling. It seems that I must work myself up into a frenzy to get started and...

I Stayed In Today
Except for an early morning out to breakfast at the bustling Cataract Cafe of Cairo AKA The Devil's Oasis (actually, it was the nearest IHOP), the steaming mugginess and heat of the day decided me on just staying in. After all, there is everything I could possibly need or want here in this cool and...

à côté de la silhouette - When I Die...
"When I die, I don't want to be buried, but I don't want to be cremated either. I want to be blown up. Put me on a pile of explosives and blow me up. Or throw my body from a helicopter. That would be fun. One stipulation: wherever I land, you have to leave me there. Even if it's the mayor's lawn....

The Poets Have Run Away With Blogit
There was a time not long ago when it was hard to find a poet plying their trade amongst the writers of Blogit. There was often someone who would organize a poetry contest to attempt to interest bloggers to try their hand at poetry. Quite often these attempts failed to interest writers to give it a...

Whence Comes The Popping In My Head?
Now I know why I don't have or want a cell phone--I just don't trust them to do no harm. If they can pop corn, what could they do to my poor little brain? In case you haven't already seen an example of it, here is a video of cell phones popping popcorn: If cell phones can pop corn, what can they do...

A Rhino In His Underpants
When I was in Spain, I reveled in all things Spanish, the food, the siestas, the tapas, the night revelry, the art museums, the gardens, but my love was the music. The flamenco music and dance has been near to my heart since the first time ever I saw Jose Greco and his Spanish Dancers on stage in...

A Great Day To Reminisce
The years of my life seem to have been naturally divided into segments of time with differing focus of activity and purpose. Since 1960, I have been a mother, but even the mothering years are not all the same. One mothers a preschooler quite differently than she mothers a teen, and that quite...

Then & Now of Motherhood
My beautiful great-niece sent this to her Auntie Betty and I thought it just might be fun to compare first-time motherhood of almost 50 years ago with first-time motherhood of this day and age. So, her answers to this survey are in blue and my answers are in magenta: ERIN & JAZEK Here you go mommies...

Spring Day In May
I just had to take a picture of these trees:....and another:....and another: They were glorious, as was the clear blue sky and the gentle breeze. I would have thought the bad weather, little more than a day ago, was but a bad dream if not for the people sawing apart downed trees, uprooted by the...
