…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

I haven’t posted in a while because my brain has been frozen. For the past few weeks, I have been debating whether to by a Mac laptop and this is all that I’ve been able to think about. Do I really have to spend $1,500.00 to be able to edit videos and maybe do a
