It was 9:30 in the morning, California time. I was doing my usual clean-up after sending our three young children off to school. The oldest was almost 15, the middle one 12, and the youngest just 7. The new Dachshund puppy needed to go outside, but with hawks around, I needed to go with him.… Continue reading 9-11

Picking Your Nose and Alzheimer’s
I read in the newspaper today (remember those?), that people who pick their noses are more likely to get Alzheimer’s. I am not making this up. Apparently, introducing germs into the nose triggers the brain to produce betas-amyloid as defense. An abundance of beta-amyloid is believed to be the leading cause of Alzheimer’s. So beware,… Continue reading Picking Your Nose and Alzheimer’s
Best Ed Sullivan Show Ever
(re-run) Carol grew up in in Pueblo, Colorado, which was called the little Pittsburg of the West. Her dad was a steelworker. Her mom was a lab tech phlebotomist at the hospital. Whenever one of the kids got sick, her mom would bring home a hypodermic needle in her purse to draw some blood. “To… Continue reading Best Ed Sullivan Show Ever
Massage Talk, Otter Card, and Scavenger Find
(re-run) Every other Tuesday I treat myself to a full-hour massage at my chiropractor’s office. Curtis is awesome. He can make this senior citizen feel almost 50 again. Curtis asks lots of questions while he is working on my sore body parts. For the past several months I haven’t been able to talk, have barely… Continue reading Massage Talk, Otter Card, and Scavenger Find
Oscars, Anyone?
As I sit here watching the Academy Awards, the show is entertaining for so many reasons,, especially the gowns. The women choose their gowns well in advance. Some are fabulous, some are horrible, some are fish like (think Anya from the Queen’s Gambit). The make-up category winner wore a bizarre shiny dress that looked like… Continue reading Oscars, Anyone?

The Addams Family of Yesteryear Versus Wednesday of Today
For the past two nights, my adult children and I binged the entire first season of Wednesday on Netflix. I was intrigued because I watched the Addams Family TV show as a child. It was on TV for two seasons in the 60s, 32 episodes each season. These days that would be enough episodes for… Continue reading The Addams Family of Yesteryear Versus Wednesday of Today

Gore No More
I have a low tolerance for gore and violence in the media. I tried out a new show on Monday nights called The Cleaning Lady. It comes on right after 911 Lonestar, a show with Rob Lowe as a fire captain of a Texas firehouse with a quirky crew. Did I mention Rob Lowe? I’ve… Continue reading Gore No More
