Tiger Tiger Burning Bright

2010-01-05T12:14:00.009-05:00

Rumor has it that Tiger Woods is at Sierra Tuscon being treated for his sex addiction. If so, I guess that's a good thing. His life has certainly fallen apart and he is about to lose his family and some of his fame not to mention a whole lot of money. I think he probably needs a safe place to try and figure out who he really is and what that person really wants from life. Like they say, an

Christmas Lights Gone Wild

2009-12-24T09:40:00.005-05:00

Christmas is a time to re-affirm light and life and some folks go all the way. I love this video --talk about Christmas lights gone wild.... I also think it is quite a generous gift, as these people must have some January electric bill, but then their sound and light show brings pleasure to a lot of people through the power of the internet. I wonder how their neighbors feel about it:-) Merry

It's an oldie but goodie and it is hilarious. Even if you've already seen it, it'll make you laugh. Rita Moreno really gets Animal going.

Chistmas Gift for Your Favorite Cat

2009-11-22T15:00:00.010-05:00

I am not much on cat toys, since I no longer own any cats,or rather since no cats own me at the moment-- but the Frolicat Bolt is rather cool and I must say that if I did have a cat, I would buy it since I think it is a very nifty idea.

My Laptop Crashed and I Burned

2009-11-20T13:01:00.003-05:00

It's been a tough few days without my trusty HP Pavillion laptop. It crashed three days ago in quite an ugly way so I finally gave up trying to deal with online solutions and windows Vista forums and help desks and took it off to my local " computer hospital" aka JWS Computers and a friendly geek named Brian. After two days of picking and probing, Brian told me the bad news. " There's a

Twitter Troubadors

2009-10-30T13:35:00.008-04:00

I came across my first Twitter song on YouTube last March when I was a newbie who hadn't even downloaded Tweetdeck yet. I loved it-- played it over and over--even blogged about it. It was one of those things I just couldn't stop humming under my breath. Since then there have been lots of Twitter troubadors posting on Youtube. Some good, some not so great. Here are a few of my favorites to

Happy Birthday Sophia

2009-10-14T22:18:00.024-04:00

A familiar face looked out at me from my friend JamaGenie's blog today: a photograph of my maternal great great grandmother, Sophia Window Filley, taken soon after she arrived in America from her native England in 1879. Jama reminded me that today is her birthday. She was born 171 years ago. She was born in 1838. The date on her tombstone is incorrect. I have the birth records and the family

Adopt A Word and Save The Language

I don't know about you, but I am getting sick of worthy causes.

I'm working hard from here on in to save the words. I love words. I love to read them, write them and roll them around on my tongue. I especially love English words as
