Small Business Saturday
Lots of people will be part of the shopping frenzy on Black Friday, day after tomorrow (not me). Some of those lots of people will even be up at ungodly hours—or just never go to bed at all—so they can rush the doors along with like-minded folks in search of that elusive must-have item (again, [...]

Dreamscape
I had the most bizarre dream the other day. I was in a hospital, there for an appointment with my dentist, an 11:30 appointment to be specific. I was sitting in a chair in a cross hallway, making a phone call while I waited. The phone was not the hospital’s or my cell phone; it [...]

Beach Week, Sort Of
Heading to Nags Head today with family friend, Janis. We’re meeting Annie there and the three of us will have a fab 4 nights at an oceanfront motel, one where our room is literally walk-out-the-door-onto-the-beach. The weatherman is calling for sunny days in the mid-60′s, a little cool but nice for this time of year [...]

Me and the Beav
June Cleaver has died and there went another little piece of my childhood. Leave it to Beaver started in 1957 and the Cleavers were the all-American family (highly idealized but I didn’t know that at the time). I thought it was so very cool because these stories were usually told from the viewpoint of the [...]

Acorns and Squirrels and Winter, Oh My!
I’ve been listening for the past three weeks to the drumming of acorns falling. Now, this is certainly nothing new but this year there seems to be so much more of it going on.  At times, the clatter on my roof sounds like a giant popcorn popper has been turned on and even the kitties [...]
