My apologies to anyone who has had a family member, close friend, anyone, die by suicide. I have had two encounters, so I have experienced, though never understood, the reality. Anyway, I am one of those people who survive through dark humour. It may be my Irish legacy; it may be just an aberrant characteristic. […]
If anything is going to save us from destruction, from total annihilation, or maybe just from ourselves, it won’t be religion, it won’t, for heavens sakes, be war. No, it will be neither of these. It will be music. “Praise the chord and hold the ammunition.” There have been innumerable studies done lately on the
Our writing word for today is “ease.” I am fixated with people who can do “things” with incredible ease.

I promised a while back, actually a long while back, to give you my version of Butter Chicken from J’s World Kitchen. I loved J’s recipe for Naan so much that I decided to make his version of butter chicken. I did, however, take a look at a few other videos, just to see what was
Our writing word for today is “change.” I have always maintained that change is the only constant, well maybe not. Maybe the more things change, the more they remain the same. For some reason, there are always dictators. Democracy is challenged in the most democratic of countries. There are still the poor, the homeless, the
…..I have not commented on the very silly antics of “some very minor people” who have a lot of money and who feel that they need to be considered important. OK, she manipulated herself into a minor role in a dramatic series, “Suits,” which aired on a secondary network. She also had her sights on
