Luddites Unite!

I have survived another Black Friday -oh joy. Though this one was different in the sense that I was still recovering from having my teeth pulled two days before.

I didn’t think having my teeth pulled would truly be such a big deal. Again, as has been so often the case recently when it [...]

I tried writing this last night but erased it while I was proof-reading it. That was fun. I did manage to get very creative while cussing at the computer screen. Always a silver lining.

I have been to the dentist since my last post and have had some oral surgery. I [...]

Me -I’m the reason, or more to the point -the results of the stupid decisions I have made. For the past 3 days I have been holed up with a swollen face and massive tooth infection spawned from a wisdom tooth that broke over two years ago. The right side of my head [...]

Me? I’m watching movies. Two movies to be exact. ‘Kelly’s Heroes’ and ‘A Bridge too Far’. Both are wonderful classics. And between the two star just about every actor in the 70’s.

‘Kelly’s Heroes’ (with Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland, Don Rickles and Telly Savalas) is more of a war [...]

My creative outlet is demanding release -only I don’t have a good way to release it. So this is the next best thing.

I am reading a fictionalized account of George Washington’s life (called Citizen Washington). I know, sounds like a real yawner, but it isn’t. In school we spend about 2 weeks [...]
