This Is Why People Take Drugs
The fridge broke, it’s freezing everything on the back of the shelves. I was over the moon about it though. I hated it. Over designed by people who clearly don’t eat much in the way of fresh fruits and vegetables. Shopping for a new one was a nightmare; they are all the same. All of middle America wants fridges [...]
Home Sweet Home
I’ve been away so long I forgot how to input my photos so that they enlarge…so, don’t bother clicking for the moment. I haven’t been in my blog since March. Home still isn’t quite as sweet as I would like it. My office and back bedroom are filled with the start of my cleaning out [...]
Back in the Land of Flowers
I thought I’d be gone just a couple of weeks but as it turned out, I stayed in Connecticut until February 14th. I spent most of my time at Gaylord Hospital’s Transitional Living Center; we called it Traurig House. I had all the right clothes, but traveling from our winter, which is a joke since [...]
Termites – Again!
It was a beautiful dawn over Monterey Bay and that’s the last nice thing I have to say today. Two years ago we bagged the house, had it filled with a noxious, killing gas to murder the termites, we moved into the Venetian Hotel because we were terrified of the gas and…now we’ve got termites [...]
The Scent of Julia Child
45,000 eggs – 39,380 pounds of flour – 5,955 pounds of butter – 5,940 pounds of sugar and 1,870 pounds of chocolate a month and what do you get? Gayle’s Bakery and Rosticceria. She’s the cook when we aren’t up to the job and neither of us felt like cooking tonight. Jim has a cold [...]
Bookshop Santa Cruz
I finally had a chance to go downtown today to pick up my stash of books. I could see that the stash had grown overnight. Some kind elf, who hadn’t been available when I went in the first time, had added a few books on stroke to my collection. I’m leaving on the 12th to [...]
Why I Don’t Twitter
This is why I don’t Twitter. Here we go with my day. I checked my email and cleared spam from my blog. Then I went off to the Museum of Art and History to meet Marlene and Judy for a Cafe au Something at Lulu’s. Lulu’s has three locations and the man who owns this [...]
Belated Happy Holidays
I would have done this sooner but I got hit again (twice this month) with digital filth and even though I keep back ups religiously, it’s a time consuming, boring job to re-load everything. Jim had just built me a new PC, faster and bigger, so I’m isolating this sweet thing from the web and [...]
Happy Thanksgiving
As always we lazy bums went to Zelda’s on the Beach again this year. They cook, do the dishes, give us good sun and surf and there were no peas this year. The seagull gave thanks for the hamburger bun he stole from someone’s plate. I had a slice of Powershot Elf with a side [...]
