During the first few years of the Covid-19 pandemic, I often heard the refrain “I can’t read anything” or “I can’t focus enough to watch a movie”. It seemed so foreign to me because i was continuing to do those things. I think I experienced it last year and while I did do those things,… Continue reading Hello 2023

Little Bit Nerdy Much?
You know how technology is supposed to help your life and make things easier? But sometimes it just seems to do the opposite? Way back in my college days we had to take a computer course which covered productivity software like Wordstar and Lotus 1-2-3. It’s so crazy to think that I now use Microsoft… Continue reading Little Bit Nerdy Much?

Goodreads and LibraryThing
I’m pondering actually getting a Goodreads account. I’ve had a lifetime account with LibraryThing for years. Many of my book blogging friends are on LibraryThing but more of my social friends are on Goodreads. Does anyone have a preference between them? Or use both?

Jim really put himself out there. This gave me a giggle and I hope it makes you giggle too. Without further ado,… Continue reading Striking a Pose
What Have I Been Up To?
Let’s see… first I went to this place for a week: We stayed at the same beach house we’ve been going to for years. This year the internet connection was nonexistent. Even being plugged directly into the router didn’t work. I wrestled with it off and on the entire week with only my cell phone… Continue reading What Have I Been Up To?
Still here!
Look for some fresh content soon. 🙂
The Gym
On Sunday I went to gym for the first time in *mumble mumble* years. I took a tour before getting the membership so I could check out the equipment and get a feel for the members. But while riding the exercise bike I couldn’t help but stare at some of the people around me. They… Continue reading The Gym
It Officially Feels Like Autumn
The past two years I’ve spent part of my autumn at Top Sail Beach, North Carolina with extended family. Each time upon my return it seemed fall was really here. Two days ago it was 90 degrees. Today is the day when it really feels like autumn for me.  I woke up to rain which made… Continue reading It Officially Feels Like Autumn
