Monday Musings in Packrat
Random thoughts because my brain doesn't want to focus. I'm still thrilled to pieces that Drummer Boy came to our pow wow. I love that he hugged me and we talked, but my joy is that he showed u...
Just Like Old Times in Packrat
Had a good time at the pow wow...Drummer Boy was there! My favorite dancer, and I had a huge crush for years. The head man dancer was my cousin M's "Drummer Boy", and several of the dancers ther...
Taking a Breather in Packrat
Yesterday was so busy. The health fair had over 500 people, many here for the pow wow. I had thought that my booth was purely informational and that I could leave it now and then, but then someon...
Friendly Chaos in Packrat
I'm not a morning person, but this week I've had to go through the motions, even though not really fully coherent. Giving someone a ride and getting here early (for me) so he can catch another ri...
Nothing much in Packrat
Really nothing to see here. I let time go by between entries because I don't really have anything to say. Even my paper journal suffers. Part of the reason has been that I have horrible allergy s...
Circle of Life in Packrat
From the day we arrive on the planet And blinking, step into the sun There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done There's far too much to take in here More to find t...
Well, it's time for navel gazing again. I've been thinking about diaries and why I keep them and what happens to them after I die? I go through this every now and then, and I still haven't satisf...
Boil, boil, toil, and trouble in Packrat
The boiling is from all the ceremonial cooking being done lately...I'm worn out from everything. We had an adoption ceremony planned and although we all knew what to do, last minute stuff stepped...
The New World in Packrat
I've already stated that I'm not a baby person, and I still don't have any great interest in them out in the general public although they seem to like me, which means I have to wave, smile, and p...
Love & Stuff in Packrat
Puppies. I have my own pack because last year my giant puppy, although separated from the other dogs (including a male with all his parts), used to climb over the gate, hang out with said male u...
I'm 50. While I don't think this is old (because, y'know, old people tend to forget stuff, so every day is truly a brand new day!), age does limit what your body can do. I'm 50. I've made no se...
Yessir, That's My Baby! in Packrat
Technically not MY baby but my brother's - well, since she's just a week old, I won't take her away from him yet, but you know it's just a matter of time! I'm not really a "baby person", stemm...
Welcome to My Geekdom in Packrat
I'm a geek, specifically a history geek. In my younger years history had never been a consuming passion, even that of my own people, and when we visited historic sites (Gettysburg, Washington, D....
Rollermaniac in Packrat
Derek Longmuir was the drummer for the Bay City Rollers in the late 1970s. He turned 59 yesterday. I loved him as much as my teenage heart could hold. I reflected yesterday that it's funny what...
Fight the Good Fight in Packrat
"Fight the Good Fight" is more than a quote. It's a way of life. Not to say that makes life easy. I look at my work as fighting the good fight. On the flight back to Oklahoma from Philadelphia m...
Addendum of sorts in Packrat
A continuation regarding my last topic. I looked up Juliette Augusta Kinzie's history and saw that the "Old Indian Agency House" where she lived in Portage, Wisconsin still stands and is now an h...
The Rest of the Story in Packrat
I've just finished reading Wau-bun, The Early Day in the Northwest, written by Juliette Augusta Kinzie and first published in 1856. My mother bought the book for me on my birthday when we stopped...
Always something there to remind me in Packrat
I'm finally finished cleaning up the downloaded text of my Open Diary!!! I got caught up in reading old entries, which always have nice surprises, while bolding titles and clearing out code, so I...
To Protect and Preserve in Packrat
I spent Valentine's Day on an out of state trip with S...and one of his associates, since we went to the frozen East for court proceedings in our case. Due to misinformation, my plans had me stay...
Sense and Sentimentality in Packrat
Alright...I'm breaking in my new home here with a gripe session. You are forewarned. This is more of a whine than a rant. The diary I so worried that I wouldn't get to save is now driving me nu...
So OD is truly going to end. I always wondered what I'd do when this time came; I just thought I'd have more time to do something about it. I want to save my entries. I would have liked to keep c...
The saying is that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but I am an old dog willing to try something new. So here I am!
Having my say in Packrat
Well, it finally happened for me; I can't even enter the old neighborhood, and it isn't for lack of trying. I feel an old friend and I have come to a change in our relationship; we're not going t...
Peeking In in Packrat
Okay. So here I am. Sorta. I'm old school, and even if the old school is falling apart around me, I'm not quite ready to leave. Maybe I don't feel as affected by the sluggish workings of OD becau...
