Jumping into the light

Evel Knievel died today. He spent many years risking his well-being, often at great harm to himelf, to make a living and a life as a “dare devil.”
Knievel was “the man,” coolest of the cool, when I was little. I remember watching him on Wide World of Sports, watching his “agony [...]

SCOTS WHAE’ HAE

November 30 is St. Andrews Day, so I will indulge in my heritage. Enjoy the music, poetry, comedy, and spirit with which this is all expressed:
Here is a guy named Johnny Bagpipes. He does a mean Angus Young (have to watch the entire clip) and Eddie Van Halen on his pipes.
Here is Scottish [...]

Ever have a dream?

When I was a little girl (around 8 or so) I started asking (read: begging) for a guitar or a piano. That’s all I wanted. I even asked Santa. Money was really, squeaky tight in my family, so it was one thing my mom couldn’t give me, and I learned at [...]

All the fiction that’s fit to print

Senator Teddy Kennedy has been signed to compose his memoirs.
Hachette Book Group USA (what an ironic name), will publish Kennedy’s prose. Kennedy hopes that his “reflections can contribute to a deeper understanding of many events in the history of this great country and to a more in-depth picture of an American family.” [...]

One of my all-time favorite Christmas songs. . .

Friday, I bought two Christmas CD’s: Monster Ballads XMAS and Jazz Baby, a compilation of older recordings of Christmas songs that you can find at Hallmark stores, both of which, I like for very different reasons. Listening to them made me think of some of my favorite songs. “O, Holy Night” is [...]

Meeting the bloggers

After Deathlok and Wyatt both wrote about meeting together last night to watch BSG: Razor, I really didn’t know what to say. Deathlok is a really nice guy and great host; although, he could have warned me to not blow through the toll (twice). Can’t wait for that letter in the mail. [...]

Some tidbits and the best Christmas movie ever!

Well, howdy!At the San Diego zoo, they are promoting the procreation of pandas. When the time is right, zookeepers “make sure Gao Gao is there, sniffing her through a perforated gate zookeepers call the ‘howdy door’ until her chirps and bleats indicate she’s ready to get down to business.”
The “howdy door”? That’s what [...]

It’s wicked awesome!

My best friend is home from Texas for the weekend! We spent the whole morning and part of the afternoon together: shopping, laughing, talking, going to an awesome restaurant (Brio-only one in NJ and it is on my doorstep! Had the mushroom ravioli al Forno…mama mia!), gossiping about the people she’ll run into [...]

Time to hang the lights!

Somewhere in Wyatt’s and Captain America’s neighborhood. . .

The reason why humanity is suffering. . .

I’m not a mom, so I can’t speak to the joys I hear are associated with parenthood. However, I do think kids are a good thing. Sure, they are expensive, cause angst as they grow up, but what if that hyper kid grew up to invent something useful and needed? Isn’t [...]

Dinner with Daddy

Well, I managed to not make my dad ill with my cooking. I haven’t cooked in three years. I was able to stand and cook for about a half an hour and I only needed to sit while I was carving the turkey (need to work on that skill). My dad was [...]
