raw opinion—great food—fast cars—wild horses
Thank heavens for microwaves, as they’ve saved many a cup of tea from the horrid state known as room temperature, but why is it never possible to enjoy the last sip of tea from the bottom of the cup before it gets cold? It might help matters if I’d use a slightly smaller mug now and then, but the big purple mug does such a nice job keeping my fingers warm....
Thanksgiving is a day for family; it’s also a day for friends, and let’s not forget that it’s a day for food. Having grown up in a southern household, Thanksgiving was a day of excess when it came to food. My mother believed in turkey dressing (not stuffing) and gravy. She took great pride in crafting both with great skill. She also believed in the power of sage, and I must...
By the time you reach forty, there are a few things that really need to be done your way. Somehow in the nature of my rearing, I developed a fondness for tea. Frequently, my tea of choice is Earl Grey or Irish Breakfast, but more often I’ve found myself enjoying Vanilla Chai or some variant thereof. This was all fine and dandy until my body decided a couple years ago that caffeine just...
I start every morning with a trip through my favorite comics… And on great days, I finish it by having another chuckle at the funniest ones… PVP Online Bucky’s self-proclaimed enlightenment has been pretty amusing courtesy an utter lack of enlightened though thus far… It was an odd treat to see him hit upon true wisdom today. It seems Satchel finds wisdom far more often. Get Fuzzy
It had to happen eventually. One too many times playing juggle the updates to fix some new security vulnerability in Drupal (rhymes with Roople) pushed me over the edge. WordPress has looked like a good idea for a long time, but I’ve just lacked motivation to do a revamp. Then, however, I got a push in the right direction when Facebook became equally frustrating, and I lost my arena for venting...
The beginning of the end between me and Facebook may have started on the day that I couldn’t get the app to install on my iPhone – followed by the app on the iPad dying in similar fashion. However, today it is going to new heights to permanently lose my interest. Despite having deactivated my account, I noticed Facebook notifications popping up on my screen today. Wonder how that could happen?...
Ron Brix’s longtime job as a computer systems developer for Wrigley, the gum and candy maker, required intense attention to detail, single-minded focus and a willingness to work on something repetitively until perfect. The secret he credits to his success? Autism. Read the full article I’ve known several high functioning autistics. All were amazingly capable and showed amazing abilities when presented with the right opportunities. It’s great to see businesses looking...
Fitz and her friends the Smythes were in town to visit, so we all took a trip south of Belt Line to see the Chihuly glass exhibition at the Arboretum.
Cats don’t waste much time settling in to their environment. These guys have taken over our home and hearts… Although we have limited their roaming to the upstairs of the house courtesy one 48 inch tall baby gate. We’ll see how long that works…
