I left a note - Funny how our lives are similar and different of course too. We had beautiful snow, I had both my kids, I wrote in my notebook, not productively of course. Seems like I live ha...


.... please watch this. I’ll try to come back and talk about it.


Here is a link to a speech given by the Canadian prime minister: I don’t know how many of you have heard it. I don’t know how many of you will be able to see it. It is a very good speech.


I woke up this morning. I read a bit from the sad Nobel literature prize book. The book itself is sad. It’s a biggish paperback, perhaps a college text, that’s been well read and is almost in ...

… 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...


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...


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...


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...


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 ...


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...



… 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. ...

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...


Should I go or not?


… 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...

So, in These titles mean nothing.

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...


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...


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...


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...


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...
