Gross. NOT a fan of clams. In fact, not really a fan of any seafood. I’ll eat shrimp on occasion, but that’s about it. I prefer my seafood in its natural state – under water and still alive. And I don’t mean viewing them in the tank at my local grocery store. I’m talking about [...]
The Great State of New York has deemed March 29 Vietnam Veteran’s Day because on this date in 1973, the last 2,500 troops were withdrawn from South Vietnam. This withdrawal finally ended our Nation’s military involvement in a very long and extremely unpopular war. Over 58,000 soldiers lost their lives. It was bad juju all [...]
On March 23, 1989, a gigantic asteroid came within 500,000 miles of colliding with Earth. 500,000 miles doesn’t really sound like a “near miss” but I guess in the world of asteroids we’re lucky it didn’t hit us. I was alive in 1989 (not to mention a full-fledged adult!) but I do not remember this [...]
I’ve got nothing in the sacrifice department that could even begin to touch what Christ did for me on that cross. Yes. I’m a believer. I’m a big believer. And I think I’d forgotten that until just recently.
I don’t just write on this blog, I keep a journal also. And, if you can believe it, [...]
I always wanted to be Irish — or at least have some sort of ethnic background to grab onto other than being mired in the gaucheness of being sans pedigree. I’m a mutt, plain and simple. A mixture of whatever was around at any given point in time. Evidently, my relatives didn’t stick to the [...]
I wear the same diamond stud earrings almost every day. I stole them from my mother many moons ago (she does know that I have them). They are simple, elegant, and go with everything. If she were ever to take them back, I’d have to save my allowance to get another pair just like them. [...]
Carlos Ray “Chuck” Norris is 70 years old today. I would have NEVER guessed this to be his age, but honestly, I haven’t given old Chuck a whole lot of thought until just right this minute. I know there’s been a big revival of “Chuckisms” swirling about the Internet but I hadn’t done any research [...]
Panic schmanic. I don’t have the time or the energy to panic. And besides, Ben and I went to see “The Lion King” tonight, which promotes the whole “Hakuna Matata” theme, so I’m just going to go with it. If I feel the need to panic, I can wait for “International Panic Day“, which occurs [...]
My thighs and bottom have taken on the appearance of a bag of frozen peas thanks to my lack of exercise (and general aging process) in the months since Ben’s relapse of neuroblastoma. But if walking the streets of Manhattan doesn’t lead to my having “Buns of Steel”, then there’s no hope for me, because [...]
