  • the romans are coming!

    I mean, they’re already here. And I’m going to see them. Tomorrow, as a birthday treat, my sister is taking me to the Seattle Art Museum to see the Roman Art exhibit on loan from the Louvre. It’s only there until May 11th, and if we go this weekend, we can see the brass Gates…

  • mr. innappropriate

    I love baseball.  Seattle Mariners baseball, to be specific. Sure, they haven’t exactly made it to the world series or anything, but heck, it’s baseball. I love football, too, but one of the big differences between being a fan of the two is; while I can watch a Seahawks football game and get excited, I…

  • post-nap, day 4

    So far, so good. Since Monday, I’ve made it home after work and managed to avoid lying down on the couch for a pre-dinner snooze ! I’m enjoying it, but I’m sure it’s going to get harder to do before it gets to be a habit. On Monday I cleaned the kitchen. On Tuesday, turned…

  • the end of an era

    Arthur C. Clarke has passed. MSNBC I find this quote quite telling of the great man: “Sometimes I am asked how I would like to be remembered,” Clarke said recently. “I have had a diverse career as a writer, underwater explorer and space promoter. Of all these I would like to be remembered as a…

  • the end – not

    So I had it in my head this was going to be the last chapter today. I haven’t been paying close attention, but I knew in the old heady days of no-idea-what-I-was-doing, my chapters ran really really long. Thinking today was The End, I went out and Googled the proper lyrics to The Doors tune:…

  • it’s high time!

    for Spring! I don’t know what the weather is like where you are – and I admit, it’s warmer here than most places – but I for one have grown weary of this Winter Blah and I’m ready for Spring!   I want to see color other than green and grey.  (okay, I don’t wanna mow…

  • tgi. . . t?

    I know it’s Thursday, but I’m not here today – so I’m not around to comment on blogs or post anything interesting, so I thought I’d schedule this to pop up while I spend my Thursday at a funeral in Kent. At least it’ll be sunny, like it has been all Wednesday. Sunny and warm,…

  • when free is expensive

    For the record, I don’t lease cars. I buy them. But just now I was listening to the radio and one of those commercials came on, where a dealership is telling you that you could lease one of their brand new cars for NO MONEY DOWN! Yes, that’s right, just sign on the dotted line…

  • what’s up with that?

    So I was at Best Buy on Saturday, after taking Mom out for birthday dinner at Red Lobster, my sister and I took her shopping to buy presents, and one of those trips was to Best Buy to grab a couple of movies she wanted. There I am, standing in their version of the Disneyland…
