Blogging at age 11

I started blogging at an early age, even before they called it that. Looking further into the autobiography that I wrote when I was 11, I realized that I've been blogging for over 40 years! Many of you enjoyed the pages I posted yesterday so I decided to put up a few more. (p.s. I really didn't eat... Sign in to see full entry.

When did you discover the typewriter?

My Dad had an old black Underwood typewriter in his little corner office. I remember the magic of putting a clean sheet of paper into the typewriter and making words come out. Typed words looked so much more ‘official’ than written words. In fact, they looked a lot like the books I was reading! I... Sign in to see full entry.

"Old School"

That’s what the young guys call my husband when he’s playing basketball with them. I’ve seen Bruce out there on the court, battling it out with what looks like a pack of young dogs snapping and snarling, pushing and shoving. He says it’s fun. I can’t imagine why. He runs around the court for hours,... Sign in to see full entry.

Getting the Spins

You might think that this is a post about drinking too much-- it isn’t. In an airplane, a spin is a maneuver, intentional or not, where the plane loses the lift under the wings and rolls nose down, spiraling its wings on the way down. It’s a lot like one of those twisting, diving roller coasters,... Sign in to see full entry.

Notes from a flight lesson

I came across these notes from an early flight lesson. They are kind of funny now, but then, I remember sitting at a Denny's restaurant, furiously scribbling and mad at myself for not flying as well as I wanted to. Sign in to see full entry.

Blogger Dreams

Friday night I had a dream about all of us bloggers- we were at a big party! I don't remember much about the dream (or the party, darn it) but I do remember talking with blackcat. This morning I commented to her about the dream, described what she looked like, and asked her if that was what she... Sign in to see full entry.

One more fishing story...

We were drifting off the coast of La Jolla, fishing for yellowtail and white sea bass early in the season. We were also lucky enough to be fishing with live squid-- fish just love this kind of bait-- it’s like candy to them. For me, hooking the squid up to the hook was a little freaky because I...

Somebody call the darn Coast Guard!

It was a beautiful day for fishing. We were going out after tuna that day; the fish had been reported about 10 or 15 miles off the coast. We piled our gear on my friend’s 30-foot sportfisher and took off. I was on the bridge, driving the boat and the guys were mucking around down below. Slowly, I... Sign in to see full entry.

An ocean view

Good morning everyone and Happy Friday to you! I received an email this morning from my sister in law in Naples who I very much miss and would love to visit. The note was about a condo that her friend had purchased and was making available to rent out at a very reasonable rate for friends and... Sign in to see full entry.
