My dad was a bit of a prankster and he loved a good joke. Most of the jokes he told aren't appropriate in polite company. He was, after all, a sailor. But he was always up to something. One day, he came home from work, and as was his custom, went straight to his room to change his clothes. I didn't think much of it because he always did that. After a bit, my mom followed him and then a couple minutes longer, I was summoned. 

As I walked down the hall, I could hear my mom…

We went to see the movie Battleship. It has several actors I enjoy, it's science fiction, it has sailors and aliens. What's not to enjoy? I liked Cowboys and Aliens too. Sue me.



For those of you who have been following my blog for a moment, you know that my dad, my hero and my buddy, was lost to me on February 15th, 2012. I have written several blogs that I have not been able to share with you yet, but as promised, when enough time has passed, I…

Just this morning, I'd been journaling and pondering if Darwin's Theory of Evolution could, perhaps, apply to universes (yes, that's plural, lol). I was thinking in fractals, that what's observable in nature is repeated at both smaller and greater levels, and if it's true then why not think beyond our known universe? Why not consider that ours is one of an infinite number...

Then I needed a TedTalk to watch whilst washing my week's worth of dishes, and serendipitously chose this…

My son turned me on to this one :

1. DREAM - Last Night: In a small community of Cro-Magnon man, as a result of daily life conflicts about carrying water, fighting over women, sleeping space in a cave, and food; TWO males enter a heated argument, in GESTURES. I recall trying to decipher whether they mean, "you sat on my water holder" or " you bastard, you humped my woman".  I only remember…

(this got me going this morning and the first Image in my mind was Chig and his doggies).

Let's do this…

A few months ago I got some unusual mail. It wasn't the mail itself that was unusual, they were two pieces of junk mail advertising life insurance from the same company. What was unusual was the word that was handwritten above my address on each piece of mail. The word was 'DIE'.

The mail in my building is put into mailboxes in the lobby, one for each tenant. Some pieces of mail that won't fit in the mailbox are sorted by a door person. These weren't particularly large…

My husband helped me staple flannel to the wall in my sewing room.  I was able to lay out all of my squares for quilt number two.  I decided not to add sashing so now I just need to start sewing the squares together.
