A dream vacation. Boy does that sound good about now. It’s been one of those weeks where you just feel like packing everything up and disappearing for a while, which makes yesterday’s question so appropriate. It was: What is you dream vacation? Many people choose something exotic, with lots of sun and sand. Places like […]


Okay, back it at again here on the blog. I have got a lot of actually work done the last few days, so maybe I have a little bit of time to do some blogging. It’s been warm here in New York, but not oppressively hot like it was, so I have the back door […]


Work, work, work all day and now time for a quick break before I get back to it. In case you missed yesterday’s question, it was: What is your favorite black and white movie? I grew up watching a lot of black and white movies on television. Kids today might think there’s just something wrong […]


It’s been nice getting the chance to spend some weekend time with friends and with Michelle. We miss having Sean around, but he calls us every day to tell us how much fun he is having in Charlotte with his cousins, aunts and uncles. I’m glad he gets the chance to do some fun things […]

I’ve been pretty busy the last few days with lost of family coming to visit, Sean going away on a trip some things to do around the house, and of course doctor appointments, so I haven’t really had much time to do any writing at all. Now that I have a little break, I can […]


Wednesday is my busy (I should say busier) day, so I don’t really have time to do any blogging, so it’s back at it today. It was interesting to see how people answered Tuesday’s question, which was: Do you collect anything or have a particular hobby that you are passionate about? It seems there’s a […]


Wow, great responses to yesterday’s question. It’s nice to see that so many people are still actually reading books. I was able to pick up quite a few recommendations from people. In case you missed it, yesterday’s question was: What is the one book you’ve read recently or are reading now that you would recommend […]
