It’s Monday, from Hoops & YoYo

This summons up a lot of Mondays for me!  I once sent this e-card to a few friends; Claudia wrote back, “I worry about you.”

Rough day? Time to look at photos!

A friend got me a digital photo frame for my birthday.   I really enjoy seeing the different photos go by, especially as it’s made me go through the last few years and pick out some.  I haven’t looked at some of these in a long time.
Like this great one of my friend Kim D from [...]

Men’s brains and Women’s brains: totally different critters

It’s not gender bashing in either direction.  It’s just the truth, whether it’s because women get 2 xx’s while a guy mixes it up with an xy combo when it all begins, or whether it’s societies roles teaching us before we decide for ourselves how to think and feel…. I dunno.  I just know there’s [...]

New York City survived my family!

It even survived me singing You say it’s your birthday by the Beatles’ on the steps of the Lincoln Center.
We took the train into the city, each of us coming in at different stations, and finding the others.  Cathi, as a joke, said we would wear a single red rose so they’d recognize us.  She [...]

I’m headed for New York today.

My aunt wanted to thank me, Terry, and Cathi for everything we did for her when she had heart surgery last year.  So she’s treating us to a show in NY.  By coincidence, the first tickets she could get was for today.  So it’s a nice distraction. I’ve been more focused that today is the [...]

A whole new direction for Precious Moments

A whole new BAD direction!
Sad to say, it took me a little bit to realize what he’s reading.  I kept looking at Pooh and Piglet and thinking, I don’t see anything wrong…
Of course, if you had a foreclosure, could you afford the figurine?
If I did work like that, I’d probably have more money now.  [...]

My birthday was my mom’s last day

My mom was out celebrating my birthday on the day that ended up being her last.
My birthday is this Saturday.  The anniversary of us losing her is 9 days after that.  I can’t believe it’ll be a year.  It doesn’t feel like a year.  At most, it feels like a couple months ago, that’s all.  [...]

I updated my Disney World posts…

… to be a little trip report of my long weekend with Sophia, Adam, and Becky.  So in case anyone’s interested, you’ll see new photos and videos worked in with the ones live from the trip, plus write-ups on what happened.
Leaving them actually hit me more on Wed and today.  I was so excited about [...]

At the airport. Time to go home already.

No problems like Friday night, thank goodness.  Took off on time, got in on time, and had a smooth flight.  We touched down and the pilot came on for the usual “Welcome to Philadelphia….”, but instead, we got a:
“We’re here.”
Everyone erupted with laughter.
I already miss Sophia.  I love that kid.  And all the laughs with [...]
