Yesterday it was milder so I could get out for a walk, because I didn’t have to negotiate the ice!!! On really treacherous days, I wear “Trax.” They’re something like braces that you put on your boots to keep from slipping. They’re not pretty and when you are on a dry surface, they slide all […]
After posting this morning, I began, as usual, to think about my next blog. I like musing, planning and posting because it takes me away from the realities of the day – housework, or work-work, grey skies, cold…the list goes on. So you can imagine my dismay when I couldn’t think of anything, nothing, nada!
I have decided that I am not a poor speller. My problem with typos stems from the arrangement of letters on the common keyboard. Why anyone would put “f” so close to “d,” such that any word that ends with a “d,” often ends up ending with an “f” – are you still with me?
I am blessed (if I don’t mind putting on weight) with having four French bakeries within walking distance of my house. Three of the four are within 100yds of each other – maybe the 100yd diet 🙂 Well, I spread my patronage around to all four. Yesterday I was in Thobor’s on Mt Pleasant and

The original internet language, HTML, is often referred to as an “arcane” code. Arcana/Arcane means mysterious, difficult to understand, awkward. HTML is
Just your average everyday word. Doesn’t it just roll off the tongue 🙂 I found it on a fascinating site www.onelook.com. Every hour this site generates 5 words that get an unusually high number of searches. The site also lists reasons why these words might be popular, at that particular moment. Yggdrasil – pronounced (igdrazil)
As Winter drags on and I hear the freezing rain clicking outside, I am reminded of a phrase that appears often on my FB wall – “choose to be happy.” I really have to remind myself that I can’t let the elements interfere with my “celebration” of life!! I had to remind myself of the
I may have written about 3-D printers before. They have come down in price, such that they are almost affordable for the average family. These printers actually create 3 dimensional objects, such as, wrenches, bicycle chains and probably knitting needles, to name a few. Just as our regular printers lay down ink to produce pictures
I almost forgot to post today. I am finally back at working on this website that I started in October, when I ran into all sorts of compatibility problems, such that I had to uninstall everything and start from scratch again, except that my login had somehow become invalid and I couldn’t just start again.
It’s about 8:30 on a cold Saturday morning and I am surfing around looking for a blog topic. I tried “Word of the Day.” There were some interesting ones, if you take a look at the words around today’s word as well – peripatetic and mellifluous are two, I could work with. However, I also
