The Following the Paper Trail Bit
Whew! Finally getting over the affliction I seem to suffer every year about this time: spring cleaning! April ended up being largely devoted to scrounging through boxes and bags in my storage unit with the dual aims of clearing some things away and of chasing down receipts and documents for the other charming springtime task […]
‘Twas the Night Before Posting
Holiday greetings! For the eighth time, I’m wrapping up my blogging year with a poem in the form of that classic work, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas! As ever, I hope you’ll enjoy! ’Twas a year of adjusting, of change and transition,Requiring profession and life expedition: Surveying the landscape as changes arose,Feeling both joy and […]
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 ”Song of Ice – and More Ice” Bit
So as it seems to happen with my always beloved but oft beset Olympics, I had real concerns going into watching the recent Winter Games – political and pandemical ones this time. Almost before the Olympic Flame went out at their close, I was proved right on the political front (my heart goes out to […]
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 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 “Year to Forget” Bit
Yes folks – it’s that time again where I humbly offer another year end wrap-up in the poetic stylings of “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”! Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin! ‘Twas a year to remember, that’s quite the safe bet! But largely a year I should like to forget. This annum could have […]
The Marking the Day Bit
We’ve probably all been establishing new habits in these Covidian times, right? I sure have – but I’ve also noticed one long-standing habit has all but disappeared. I don’t check my calendar each morning anymore. Because my schedule – is – open. I do still flip over the wall calendar page every month just to […]
Colorado: The ‘Any Given Night’ Bit
Greetings, all! Back from a brief but inspiring trip to Colorado where views like the above were just some of what took my breath away! The quick outing combined two of my chief passions – travel and hockey! This time a year ago, I’d met up in New York with friends Dee and Dedrie for […]
The Adventures in Transport Chairing Bit
I can never pass up the opportunity for a good view – and in my travels, I’ve been known to go to pretty great lengths to capture one! If my 89-year-old mum is journeying with me (as regular readers know Mummy often is), she’s always game to go along for an extra ride – quite […]
