Drizzle

Today was a drizzly start to the Memorial Day weekend. 47 degrees with a cold mist spitting from the gray clouds. And we had Red Sox tickets. Normally I would be hesitant to do this in that kind of weather, but we had clubhouse seats so I knew I wouldn’t have to brave the cold . . . → Read More: Drizzle

Spin It!

You know how our news media and sometimes our government takes a negative thing, spins it, and gets you looking at it as a not so bad thing? Today I heard the best spin. It made me laugh and I just have to share it.

I was painting in the garage with the local . . . → Read More: Spin It!

It’s Only May…

It’s only May. 2013 barely has its legs under it and the amount of tragedy we, as a country, have already experienced this year is incomprehensible. I sit here watching yet another town be torn apart with grief. The news reports growing out of the tornado disaster in Oklahoma are growing sadder by the hour. . . . → Read More: It’s Only May…

Is Gatsby Really Great?

Today I had planned to drive back to the cape and go to night yoga. Then yesterday an email pops up to change my plans. It’s from a good friend: Gatsby? Tomorrow? 3:30? Just like a distractible child my answer is Yes! Yes! I want to see it! So instead of yoga, here I sit, . . . → Read More: Is Gatsby Really Great?

Happy Mother’s Day, Children!

I know Mother’s Day is the day set aside for children to pay tribute to the women in their lives that have functioned in the role of “Mom” and have done much to bring them to where they are today. I have a different feeling on this day since the passing of of my own . . . → Read More: Happy Mother’s Day, Children!

3D Printing

A few months ago a friend of mine from New Zealand started a new business called Idea Beans. I saw it on Facebook and because this friend of mine is very smart and clever, I had to check it out. She put up pics of very cool things she made on her new 3D printer. . . . → Read More: 3D Printing

Hangin’ Out On The Twitter

Did you ever spend time hangin’ out on the Twitter feed, fall into a post and feel like someone spent time in your home and just wrote out your whole life?

That doesn’t often happen to me, so yesterday, when it did, it was a big enough deal to share. Big enough because the . . . → Read More: Hangin’ Out On The Twitter

So Just For Fun

Today I spent the day at my drawing table working on illustrating. Daytime TV bantered gently in the background as I worked. On weekends, when I draw, I put on music, but given my penchant for pop culture, during the week I leave the TV on because something could pop in our culture and I . . . → Read More: So Just For Fun

Playing The God Card – On God

Tonight my friend Shirley and I went to the Skywatch band coffeehouse in Harwich. It was such a fun evening. My friend and lead singer, Jo-Anne Petty, and band member Randy, both had amazing voices. Each sang a solo as well as taking turns leading the other songs. The other guys on the drums and . . . → Read More: Playing The God Card – On God

Remind Me

This is the photo of the suspect after he placed the backpack bomb beside Martin and his family. After all is said and done and prayed for and captured, there is still a lot of inner processing left in the aftermath to do. This photo smacked me hard – harder than all the rest . . . → Read More: Remind Me
