1981: The Summer of My Summer Movies Bit
I’m so excited! I think I’m finally ready to return to a cherished pastime I haven’t quite been up for in several years – I’ll be hitting theaters again for a season of summer movies! I’m especially enjoying the look ahead to Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny because it’s also got me looking […]
Pacific Coast: The Gifts from the Sea Bit
Okay, so full disclosure – the title for this post is a respectful nod to the 1955 book by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea. In it, she shares essays about roles and relationships in the context of her era – and about life lessons combed from the beach of an island retreat. Of […]
The Bit Where a Light Goes Out…
Happy New Year!!! Wish I could begin 2023 with my usual attempt at a humorous and diverting post, but afraid I have sad news to share. My Mum – companion and inspiration for so many of the exploits covered here in posts past – has passed away… Recent, raw days have been spent clearing out […]
The ‘Twas the Year That it Was Bit
A hearty Happy Holidays to you! For me, you could say it’s been a year of continuing – and also reclaiming – traditions! In that spirit, I herewith uphold my tradition of recapping the year in ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas style – hope you enjoy! Greetings all! It’s that time (and I’ll strive to […]
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 […]
