If you were alive between the years of 1974 – 1983 and a fan of PBS, you might have come across the TV show ‘Big Blue Marble’. I was a big fan and watched it every week it was broadcast (with the exception of the 4 years we didn’t actually have a TV after myContinue reading “February 25, 2021 – Big Blue Marble (Part One)”

February 24, 2021 – Tales from a Thrift Shop.
If you’re ever bored one day and want to ‘liven things up’, take a drive over to your nearest thrift shop. Thrift shops serve as veritable dumping grounds for unwanted ‘stuff’. I go as a means of entertainment but I also go with the hope that I can find yet another interesting mug to addContinue reading “February 24, 2021 – Tales from a Thrift Shop.”
February 23, 2021 – All About Bacon
Humankind must have done something right for bacon to be introduced to our palates. To me, it’s as close to Heaven as one can get while alive (that’s if you disqualify chocolate). Bacon makes everything better. It turns a boring breakfast into a brilliant breakfast. It turns the best burger into the best ever burger.Continue reading “February 23, 2021 – All About Bacon”
February 22, 2021 – Budget Travel Tips
When I was a child, whenever my mom brought me along on a trip, we always stayed in the cheapest hotel or motel available. More often than not, that meant a Motel 6. If you want bare bones accommodations and possibly bed bugs, feel free to make a reservation at one of their 1400+ locationsContinue reading “February 22, 2021 – Budget Travel Tips”
February 21, 2021 – Where’d my mojo go?
I’ve looked all over the house. I’ve checked every closet, every cabinet, every cupboard. I pulled out all of the canned goods and boxes of cereal and looked behind them. I removed every garment one-by-one to see if it had nestled between them. I looked inside each shoe and boot to determine if it hadContinue reading “February 21, 2021 – Where’d my mojo go?”
February 20, 2021 – The beauty of anonymity.
Have you ever thought about what it must be like to be a celebrity or a public servant or someone widely known based on their talent or stature? Personally, it sounds awful. To face public scrutiny continually because you’re ‘famous’ for one reason or another? No, thanks! I know there has to be an ‘upside’Continue reading “February 20, 2021 – The beauty of anonymity.”
February 19, 2021 – Snow Daze
I’m not sure about you, but I feel like I’ve been transported to Siberia. The snow just keeps coming, even when the sun comes out. It makes no sense at all! I am beginning to understand why people become ‘Snow Birds’. If I had the money, I would, too. Speaking of birds, I think myContinue reading “February 19, 2021 – Snow Daze”
February 18, 2021 – Change is hard!
My life has been in a constant state of transition since my transplant. I am trying to do better and be better and not merely ‘exist’ any longer. The thing is, ‘existing’ is easy. It requires very little effort. Before my transplant, a typical day consisted of going through the motions, eating, sleeping, ‘waste’ management,Continue reading “February 18, 2021 – Change is hard!”
February 17, 2021 – Excuses, excuses.
Alright, my friends, I have decided it’s time to stop making excuses. As hard as it is for me to step up and agree to participate in something, I am actually going to say ‘yes’ this time. Right now, I rarely leave the house and unfortunately, I’m beginning to prefer being home to being ‘outContinue reading “February 17, 2021 – Excuses, excuses.”
February 16, 2021 – The advantages of owning a used car.
Do you own a used car and it’s still got a little ‘life’ left in it? Do yourself a favor, unless you’re taking it to the shop continuously for repairs, hang onto that gem! Yes, there are serious incentives to purchasing new vehicles. When you drive a new vehicle off the lot, what a rush!Continue reading “February 16, 2021 – The advantages of owning a used car.”
