Tuesday at The Center

Things are changing at The Center - home improvement-wise. There’s a crew of volunteers ready to come in during the week between Dec. 23 and New Year’s Day to re-do the floors. Mostly just stripping the tile, waxing and putting a nice shiny non-slip finish. Sara, the director, had the interior... Sign in to see full entry.

Tech Advice

Have been having some trouble with a fly-away cursor, where the arrow goes flying up to the corner to click on the big X in the corner that closes the screen. Not only does it fly away, but it loses the masterpiece I’m composing at the moment. No doubt some of my best work has gone Bazingga! Went to... Sign in to see full entry.

HOPE AND DISAPPOINTMENT

This is the 3rd time I've tried to write a Blogit post. Lost the first 2 - which I was working in Word. Something's wrong with my wireless mouse, the cursor keeps zapping out to close all tabs. Frustrating as hell. My youngest son - the one in Seattle - has been a worry to the family ever since he... Sign in to see full entry.

THE SOREHEAD

Several years ago I watched the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on CSPAN, one of those black-tie events to which celebs and show biz types are invited, a red-carpet event and roast. President Barack Obama gave as good as he got, and Seth Meyers from Saturday Night Live (now host of a late-night... Sign in to see full entry.

SILLY WOMAN, NOW DON'T WORRY YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEAD

A few weeks back, in the days BT (before Trump) I wrote a tongue-in-cheek story which I called “Trump’s Wall.” The gist of the plot was that the wall had been built, but its purpose was to keep Americans in, rather than to stop illegal immigration from Mexico. This morning, as I listened to the... Sign in to see full entry.

PEARL HARBOR 75 YEARS LATER

Feature story on the local news last night and again this morning about this 104-year old US Navy veteran Raymond Chavez who served on a minesweeper stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on Dec. 7, 1941. He and a few others survived the attack. He’s been getting weaker over time, feeling his age, and... Sign in to see full entry.

LUNCHING IN STYLE

I had lunch with my son Russ yesterday, a rare mid-week event. He’s often out of town working on appraisals for his company which does commercial and industrial evaluations for banks and investors. But this week he’s in town and could take time out from writing his reports, so we went to lunch at... Sign in to see full entry.

Mizzry luvs company

Been feeling down the last couple days, dunno why particularly. I mean there’s always a reason if you do a CSI look-see, some real life dissonance that could be the underlying reason. But I had a three-hat day on Monday. In case you’re wondering what a 3-hat day is It takes an hour or so to crochet... Sign in to see full entry.

Old Song Lyrics

Heard someone talk about Patsy Cline on a discussion about the Country Music Awards a day or so ago. There’s never been anybody quite like Patsy Cline. They still use her voice to sell cars – forget what car it was for, but someone was driving on one of those mythical empty roads in a convertible to... Sign in to see full entry.

Monday is a 4-letter word (plus 2)

Ever have a Monday when you didn’t want to think about or do anything? Ever want to just roll over, pull the covers over your head and go back to sleep? Unless you have to go to work, That’s the kind of day when you bury yourself in minutiae: · Dust and rearrange all the clutter on your bookcase. ·... Sign in to see full entry.
