Guy Kawasaki Distracts Me

August 8, 2008

Guy Kawasaki made me do it. Yes, he did, and I don’t even know the guy fellow. I mean, I know who he is, don’t you? He was an “Apple Guy Fellow” once, and he’s the mover and shaker behind Alltop. I follow him in Twitter.
I stole [...]

Take A Chance on Mama Mia!

August 4, 2008

The “story line” of Mama Mia! is implausible. Here it is, in case you have been living in a cave for a few years:
After sneaking a peek at her mother’s youthful diary, a young girl secretly invites all three of her “possible fathers” to her wedding on a Mediterranean island. Though [...]

My House Is A Nightmare

March 11, 2008

As I bopped out of my local coffee shop gripping my extra large mocha, I saw a familiar looking man standing with a camera crew on the corner of our town square. I had seen his face on television! It was Emeril! You know, the famous chef, Emeril Lagasse!
I was so [...]

Rock On!

January 5, 2008

Y’all have probably already seen this, because it said in my AARP Bulletin from August (I’m finally getting around to reading it) that they are a cult hit on YouTube. This is The Zimmers, who are a group of 40 “Old Age Pensioners.” This British group certainly challenges any pre-conceived notions about old [...]

Manic Monday. “Orange” Means It’s Halloween.

October 1, 2007

“Orange” is the word on this [tag]Manic Monday[/tag]. Mo gives us a word, and we are supposed to be inspired to write. It doesn’t always work! My first thought is of some orange trucks that we have around Denton, Texas, I’ve already told you about Frenchy’s Brand.
That leaves me with [...]

That Woman Was Janis Joplin

March 31, 2007

My hairdresser this morning had a first guess of Anna Nicole Smith. But, my mystery tough woman was Janis Lyn Joplin, who was raised in Port Arthur, Texas. She died in 1970 of a heroin overdose.
That the young woman took to drugs so readily would be no surprise considering the decades in [...]

A Woman Who Was Tough

March 31, 2007

“Lyn”s early years gave no clue to the turbulent life she would live. She grew up in a typical small Texas town, in a family that was not out of the ordinary. Her Daddy labored at an oil refinery and her Momma was a domestic goddess. Life was rosy and sweet for [...]

Leave It To Beaver And Wally And Eddie

March 16, 2007

This picture is making the rounds in e-mail. I don’t know if someone has altered it with a photo program to make it look worse. If so, they did a great job of it.
You might not be old enough to recognize them. From left to right, that’s Ken Osmond (a.k.a. Eddie Haskell), Jerry Mathers (a.k.a. [...]

Old Jigsaw Puzzlers Never Die…They Just Go To Pieces

January 9, 2007

There is that “blonde joke” about the gal who said, “I bought a puzzle that said ‘2-4 years.’ I don’t know why they think it’s that hard…I finished it in 6 months.”
That was funny until my husband and I sat down to work a jigsaw puzzle, produced by The Puzzle House, called “Starry Night.” It [...]

Let’s Play a Hand of Footsie

January 3, 2007

As a child, I remember that my parents often got together with friends for an evening of card games. Usually the game was poker, spades, or canasta. Everyone brought a dish of food for a “potluck” supper, after which the kids went off to watch television and play kid games and the grownups gathered at [...]
