Divided We Stand
This is a dream that I had back in 2003. I had written about 10 chapters in, and then got really lost because I didn't know that much about politics. I didn't want to do the story an injustice by fudging things, so I put it down. Ten years later, I wanted to write with fresh perspective, so i just...

Restaurant
Okay, so I have an idea for a restaurant. I'm just gonna put it out into the universe. The menus would be on an interface inside of the tables, normal looking descriptions with prices. If you wanted to know more about a dish that you were thinking about ordering, you just click on it. It would then...

Grrr, my wrist hurts
So, I did something to my wrist. It's hurt for about three weeks, I finally went to the doctor yesterday. He said it's either arthritis or a fractured scaphoid bone (one of the tiny carpals). In either case no lifting at all with the left hand, take it easy, lots of ice. Also anti-inflammatory/ pain...

Memorial Day
Sometimes people die. We miss them, and we grieve. Yet we should not think of sadness when we remember them. Often times we put the memory of that moment of pain and confusion when we found out they were dead ahead of the legacy that they had meant to leave. This is unfair to them. This memorial...

Childhood Days of Summer
When I was growing up, I always thought we were poor. This is because sometimes the lights got shut off. When our friends asked us to go to the movies, the ice cream shop, the fair, etc., we couldn't go unless it was "their treat". We prayed for clothes from the salvation army that had a name brand...

Pizza Day
Woohoo!! My one day off! I think I'm gonna make pizza today. I have a really good recipe for dough from the Wolfgang Puck recipe book. It makes two pizzas, so I'm thawing out some chicken to make one with ranch, spinach, onions, tomatoes, mozzerella, and chicken. I was thinking the other one could...

Strawberry salads, parfaits, mini pies, muffins, pies, pancakes, waffles, french toast! Lots of people are going to have red hands over the next two months. The strawberries have to be...

Oliver Twist
Started reading Oliver Twist for the first time a few days ago. So far it is heart wrenching and gloomy. I do hope this classic becomes uplifting at some point. I thought this was a kid's book, but I read a lot, and so far it has been difficult for me. Not so much that the vocabulary is difficult,...
