…or how to be memorable in how you say, what you say. I came across an article in the paper this morning on famous movie lines and why they have become memorable. It seems that a few computer scientists from Cornell University analyzed scripts from over 1,000 movies; fed them into a computer and had […]
I am in another photo scavenger hunt – always a diversion. My second photo in the hunt is for the heading “Face.” I was out for an early morning walk and came across these adorable “faces.” Pansy “Faces” They reminded me of a knitting designer whose work I absolutely LOVE – Susan Duckworth. I tried
OK this week I am feeling sorry for myself, because… 1. Routine Dr’s appt on Monday. I do hate the poking and prodding; but she had a student in and so everything was done twice……I reminded myself that this is in the interest of science and medicine 🙂 2. Washing machine has broken for the

We took a few days off from work over Easter and went for walks. On Saturday we went to the Botanical gardens in Hamilton. A.K.A. The Royal Botanical Gardens. The Cherry was in full bloom. Here she is in all her majesty – no pun intended. I was also out collecting pictures for a new
I am on a roll….a random roll….. It’s Spring and it’s baseball season and..and… it’s anything else that can be plucked out of the air and assigned a meaning. 1. As I write, I am listening to the Blue Jays opener and we are now in the 16th inning and right now the Jays are
My son was given a second interview for a summer job yesterday. Now this is in fashion retail, with a chain store, at minimim wage; however, it is at the Eaton Centre in Toronto. It was a very extensive interview with questions, such as, “do you believe in aliens” and “if you were a kitchen
I randomly ran across this bumper sticker to-day. It was displayed (proudly) on a small “smart car” parked near my work. I am still not sure whether it was actually a positive comment on the owner’s life style or a wry joke on the demands of modern (read Nike) life style. Anyway I took it as
