In Light of New Evidence I have never run a 10k. The idea of six miles of pounding pavement appeals to me about as much as a waist-down hot waxing. Until October, it was easy enough to avoid. No one asked me to run 10ks, and I never volunteered. Then something changed. In small Lucida Grande type,...
I wrote this a year and a half ago for one of my last courses in college. I'm posting it here so I don't lose track of it. I was really proud of it when I wrote it. It's funny because as much depth as I've gained since then, I'm still spouting off the same things. :) Faith and Hope: Paralleling the...

I heard this news a couple of days ago and have been meaning to post links to the various articles contemplating Raul's passing. I'm sorry it's taken so long. It hasn't left my thoughts, Mind-Heart, and all my diversions have become elusive. Raul was there with advice and assistance just when I...
Well, how many times does one get a choice in ones own kitchen? LOL Hubby and I differ on how our coffee is made. I'm really old fashioned and prefer the perk type. Tastes better to me. And yes, I do have a coffee pot that can go on the stove to "perk" coffee. Works for camping also. But, hey, how...
Mommy and I have had quite the art-filled few days so I thought, rather than giving a boring play-by-play of each day, I'd consolidate a bit by theme. In this post, I will focus on the exhibitions we have seen over the past few days, as well as one work my course discussed that I was very interested...

"As an explanation from a wiser than ourselves may make an intellectual difficulty clear to our mind, though it is our own mind that, thus aided, grasps the solution; as an encouraging word form one purer than ourselves may nerve us to a moral effort that we should have thought beyond our power,...
We're having a "special needs" adoption event tomorrow. All of the cats will have a reason that makes them harder to adopt. I'll have Katamari (age), Merlin (black), Chinchilla & Mouse (Mousie has asthma and I want them to stay together). I got a call on Merlin tonight so he should be going home...
