Cover the Spread

This isn’t a post about sports, it just starts out that way. I am not a fan of UConn sports, but I watched the first half of their football game against University of Central Florida (UCF) Saturday night. I have to admit, I had an ulterior motive. Last week, the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt), my... Continue Reading →

The Cat’s Pajamas – #SoCS

We’re gathered at the bar today to struggle through a self-inflicted wound. I am filling in for Linda G. Hill, and the Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt I came up with is: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘ent’ ‘ten’ ‘net.’ Use one, use two or use all three (bonus points for...

If you follow this blog, you knew this was coming. I have been very busy this week, so I’m going to let the captions speak for the doors. The doors are part of Norm Frampton’s fun weekly blogfest known as Thursday Doors. Norm’s worldwide network of door lovers scans the planet for interesting doors and... Continue Reading →

The Amenities – #1LinerWeds

One of the interesting features of the over-the-top accommodations I was given at The Broadmoor last week, was a walk-in closet. I have to be honest; I’ve never been in a hotel room with a walk-in closet – I have been in hotel rooms that were the size of some walk-in closets, but I digress.... Continue Reading →

What You Say – How You Say It

Ellen, over at Notes From the UK gave me a great way to introduce a mini-rant that I have been trying to figure out how to begin. Ellen periodically answers questions about England and Great Britain – if you don’t know the difference, read her blog, she’s answered that question more than a few times... Continue Reading →

That’s a Wrap

Once again, it’s time to gather at the bar and bend our conversation around Linda G. Hill’s fun and challenging Stream of Consciousness Saturdayprompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘wrap/rap.’ Use one, use both (for bonus points), use ’em any way you’d like. Enjoy!” Did she say bonus points? I hope... Continue Reading →

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

This is a Thursday Doors post (I didn’t think the hashtag would fit in the title without causing it to wrap). It’s also a riverboat post, and if that makes you think of “The Delta Pearl,” Teagan Geneviene’s current serial story, well, there is a connection. There’s also a connection to my youth. I’ll get...

It’s Not the Pistachios – #1LinerWeds

Last week, I was attending a dinner with some coworkers and a few guests, in advance of an important meeting the next day. One of my coworkers identified as having a nut-allergy, so the waiter was careful to point out which items had nuts, which didn’t, and which could be ordered without them. The person...

Why Am I Listening to Enya?

This could have made for a good one-liner, but the backstory leads me to a subject that’s been kicking around in my draft folder for several months. The story began just before leaving for our road trip to Pittsburgh. We needed music. I have tons of music – well, not compared to our daughter, but... Continue Reading →
