I read a couple of pages of Faulkner...
… when I woke up this morning. A very sorry, beaten up, loosely paged paperback of The Hamlet has been in my bed library for some time now. Last summer I started it, intently meaning to read i...
Years ago when we were poor
We got a luxury for my husband. It was a satellite TV setup. We paid a lot and continued to pay since nothing was free and we were too dumb to cheat. Part of what was good was the CBC. Can...
Sometimes I am afraid
I courted death in many ways. There was trip through Rosebud Reservation at sunset in the backseat of the ‘55 Chevy when I3 years old, and I firted with the idea that I could just die. I some...
It's been so long since anything has happened
There is so little to measure against. I wake up. The sun is getting ready to come up. I read a bit of James Clavell’s Noble House yesterday. He’s the guy who wrote Shogun which I’ve never rea...
The sun is up. The house is filling up with light. Ava got me up. She came in my bedroom wanting to chew my feet. I got up and tried to make her go outside. I opened the door to the dec...
Well, hi there -
Third Thursday of the month is library book sale. I haven’t been there in maybe going on a year. I haven’t been inside any kind of a book store since before I had surgery - before May. I’m ...
I wonder if there is a kind way to disagree with someone...
If there is - and I tend to be an optimist and I WANT to believe there is a way to disagree without breaking up a friendship. Except there doesn’t seem to be. Right here - I have lost friends...
We were...
Just a note...
… to let you know I’m still here. Still ok. Still however it is I am. Kids have been home… well not home… but close. Nothing is simple. Satisfaction is a thing that’s hard to negotiate. ...
Adventure in Artificial Intelligence.
Conversation with Gemini Ask me 10 questions, one by one, to help identify my biggest unknown weakness. After the 10 questions, reveal it to me, providing your reasoning, and be brutally honest....
Well, I went
Twice in fact. First was my all school high school reunion. It was fairly easy and I saw and talked to people. They were for the most part pleasant and I got to ignore a few. Semi-intere...
Ok, first note tells me
Should I go or not?
So...
… I have a million things to write about and I don’t write about any of them. Days pass. Nights as well. Good things happen. Bad things also. I still have a good life. Trees and flowers and a...
Happy Canada Day
to my friends to the north!
So,
today is my 79th birthday and it might be time to catch up a bit. On May 28th I had my big surgery. It supposedly went well and I got three fix ups instead of two - a reair of the ascending...
I should write today
This is my 60th wedding anniversary. I got married three weeks before my 19th birthday. I generally think of it as a mistake. I stayed married until my husband died - 22 years ago? I can...
Today....
Sunday May 18th. The day after my mother’s 112th birthday. Four days before my 60th wedding anniversary. Two days before my pre-surgery appointments. Nine days before my big surgery. The oriol...
Depth - again - eternally
GS’s s SURVEY ON UNDERSTANDING 1: There is a common expression - ‘strength of the human spirit’. How do you understand what is meant by the human spirit? I’m not into spiritual things - I’m not...
Watch this (if you can)
I guarantee it will be worth it. (This is a CBS Sunday Monring compilation about the power of keeping your promises and being kind.) I realize most people either can’t get the connection o...
I was up early this morning - beautiful morning by the way - with the perfection that a day in May can have… sunshine and fresh golden greenness and robins and calves and crops partly planted a...
Cheever and the Wren
Cheever first. You can engage the link and listen to the stories while you keep on doing your internet stuff. Oh and in the night I read from a sad little paperback of Faulkner’s The Haml...
Deepness
I Will there be cat puke in heaven? How do you feel about the Afterlife? Do you believe in heaven? Hell? The great Catholic test of Purgatory? I’m pretty sure this is all there is. In a...
OK, I've got my dates
Prep appointment May 20th. Big surgery May 27th. The other stuff can wait.
Now I need a biopsy ...
… of my thyroid. I have been ignoring messages from pulmonary about nodes (or nodules - I’m not sure which - or what the difference is anyway) on my lungs. I am so tired of this. I h...
Well, good morning...
Trip to LaCrosse went pretty well. We crossed the Lansing bridge - the new one is being built just north of the old one and it’s always fun to cross the old one. When I was a kid it was closed...
Book Description
Just a few words that don’t mean anything.
