The Bit About the Baggage
Woohooooo!!! What a feeling!! After two and a half years of staying put, I finally got away on a trip! Before Covid hit, I was in the midst of forming a happy habit of meeting friends each summer at a camp near Pinecrest Lake in Northern California. And how sweet it was to take up […]
The Bit About Chasing Whales
Okay, I’m kind of a daydreamer as it is. But over this last week, I’ve had my head in an extra cloud – THE cloud, actually, where my digital photos reside! I haven’t marked or tagged them – which means when I need, say, pics for a post about whale watching (which this one will […]
The ‘Frequency Bias’ By Any Other Name Bit
Man, I am so forgetful these days… I cannot recall the official term for that thing – you know the thing where you hear a new word or see a thing once, and then it keeps appearing over and over and over again in your life? Whatever that is, it happened to me in April. […]
The Rosy Recollections Bit
Happy New Year, everybody! Oh wait – Guess the year’s not quite “new” anymore. And it hasn’t been altogether “happy” either (I swear, if I never hear the word “variant” again, it’ll still be too soon…). But hey – I’m gonna lob one more hearty “Happy 2022” out there, anyhow, just for good measure! A […]
The ’Twas Still Yet Another Year Bit
Holiday greetings! Here’s my wrap-up of the year (such as it was…) offered in my traditional “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” style! Fasten your sleigh-belts! Well friends, once again it’s that rapturous time, When I recap my year in the form of a rhyme! In times past, I’ve shared stories of each trip and outing; […]
The “We in Team” Revisit Bit
*What with baseball’s wrapping up and hockey’s heating up, feels like the season to put this post from the spring of 2014 (with a few updates) back in the line-up! The Red Sox won the World Series that previous fall – and right at the time, the LA Kings were en route to winning their […]
The Bit Between the Lines
So September 6th was “National Read a Book Day” in the US! And I decided to mark the occasion with a tour through the many and crowded shelves that line my little apartment. Beyond discovering how badly I also need “Dust a Book Day”, there were other surprises – not just in the texts, but in […]
The 100 Bits Bit
Well, well, well! Check out the milestone eight years in the making – my 100th post! I try to avoid doing the math anymore for stuff like my birthdays – but this is a number I’m happy to celebrate! Hard to believe it was so long ago that I decided to give the blogging thing […]
The Books and Backpacks Bit
So I was sorting through pics of a trip to Greece for last month’s post and came across this little still life: It’s Dad’s glasses and book sitting on the edge of an Athens hotel bathtub. He would sweetly retreat there in the mornings to read while Mum and I slumbered a bit longer in […]
Eating Abroad: The Ends and Meals Bit (Part 2)
Okay so last month I blogged about foods that remind me of places I’ve traveled. And here (drumroll, please!) is the second installment of this limited series! Um. Part of its limited-ness comes from my actually not being any kind of food connoisseur. Just want to be upfront about that. I mean, I respect Michelin […]
