Hello from three years later. Obviously life stepped in and took me away from this little depository of ramblings, insight and sometimes helpful advice. Unfortunately, it’s not due to being kidnapped and carnally used by Peter Bishop in another dimension. (Damn it.) I’d like to say I took a three-year sabbatical and have returned with […]

What’s really important to you? That sounds like a simple enough question, but give it some real thought. The first thing jumping to mind may not be right. Or is it? Ponder it a bit.

I’ve been remiss in blogging lately due to being way too bogged down with life to have time to write. I’ve so much to tell you, like how I picked up knitting and have made some really awesome things and wonderful new friends. Or how we went to Yellowstone and how sweetness picked up photography […]

I went out onto the patio the other morning and this creature had made itself at home on the table. It wasn’t phased by me sliding a tape measure behind it to get perspective. Gaaaaaaa! Tweet

If you’ve been following along with my sporadic ramblings you might have caught that mention of losing weight and trying to up the old energy level. I’m starting to believe this is an urban myth that only Olympians who’ve not been told their Gran-Grans died two years ago because they were in sequestered training by […]
