This post is a little out of sync, but then hasn’t everything been lately!! Extreme cold must dull the brain. The temperature has been plunging regularly to the -20s ºC from the mid – 10s ºC this February, making it the coldest February on record. Hence, I have had “brain-freeze.” Things need to lighten up […]
I just had to comment on the insane re-posting and “discussions,” if they can be called that, of a particular dress, more or specifically, the colours of a particular dress on FB. “Maybe it’s the time of year or maybe it’s the time of man,” but every once in a while a totally meaningless item,
I am obviously a type B personality who has accidently subscribed to a few Type A blogs. Every once in a while I read a post that is so foreign to my world and my way of thinking that I have to share my comments on it – just to put things into perspective. Here

………I have always admired people who can live in a normal way. You know, the ones who accept the ordinary, the repetition, the hum drum and still smile.

I have just finished reading the book “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed. I loved it!! I now have to see the movie, starring Reese Witherspoon. In a nutshell, it’s the story of a women who walked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) on her own, when she was twenty-six. It all happened in the summer of 1995.
