This is the short and the long of it . . . William Shakespeare
Hi! Remember me? It’s perfectly fine if you don’t since I hardly remember myself in high school. Since I have amnesia when it comes to high school I can’t honestly say that I’ve become less or more crazy over time. Living in Santa Cruz certainly does nothing to encourage staid middle age. Our motto is [...]
How vain is John Thain? He spent $87,000 on a rug for his office and $35,000 on an antique commode, among other pricey goodies. In all, he spent $1.2 million renovating his office. He said it would have been very difficult for him to use the office in it’s former condition. Poor baby. What a [...]
Hollister experienced a swarm of little earthquakes tonight and six after shocks. We felt one of them here on the coast. Well, Jim did. I was in my bath so I missed the performance. He said the house creaked long enough to get his attention. It was 75 degrees today. Unbelievable. I don’t recall ever [...]
This is too weird even for me. We’ve already had a week of hot, sunny weather and the forecast is for another week of the same. Everyone at the farmers’ market were dressed in summer clothes today, volley ball on the beach in bathing suits. Although it may sound good to folks in Minnesota where [...]

I wasn’t going to say anything about that can of pears but this morning “what goes around comes around” came back at me so fast I’m becoming a believer. This morning, from my kitchen window, I saw Ryan coming up the walk with GiGi and I met them at the door. Ryan and I were [...]
I saw an article in the Huntsville Times by David Holden about a couple who are suing the airline for turning their 8 hour trip into a 28 hour trip. According to Holden, lawyers from three states have jumped on board intending to make this a class action lawsuit. From the very first incident when [...]
I’m taking a short break from this blog of just a few days. I have some work to do on my Louse for a House and I have an unplanned photo shoot on Friday. So, in the meantime, here are some pretty photos to look at.
Nearly everyone who called to wish me a happy new year had tales of woe to share. Lost jobs. Looming bankruptcy. Mortgages on homes they can’t afford anymore and can’t sell. As for me, my jeans got tight over the holidays. So here we all are. Going broke, getting fat, sleepless, anxiety ridden, depressed. My [...]
