Whoa, Nellie!
When I first started this blog, the thrill of seeing my words on a web page was enough to make me a little woozy – hey, being public is close to being published, innit? Then my friends and family commented and that was very exciting. I mean, some of them even read it every day!…
Another World
This weekend, we marked the lovely Michele’s birthday and since the Andersen family firmly believes in the adage that “more is better”, we added an early celebration of the birthdays of her equally charming children, Jason and Scott. After a not entirely nutritious dinner, we saw Cavalia. Supposedly, in a nutshell, Cavalia is a show…
I’ve Got Issues
We all know that reality shows are a scourge upon the earth and have no redeeming social value whatsoever. We should be reading Shakespeare instead! Saving kittens from wells! Single-handedly achieving world peace and ending hunger! Now that we got that out of the way, can we talk about American Idol? Not the contestants, although…

You don’t get to be this pleased with yourself without walking up Nemesis, who’ll arrive swiftly and smack you down for your effrontery. That malware I had? I…
Forewarned is forearmed
This blog will have cat content. With pictures. I share my home with a cat of large personality (and an equally large amount of fur). Her job is to be cute, she’s good at it and I have a digital camera. I suspect this may prove to be an annoying combination. Introducing Mojo, here seen…
Perfection
Today, on the way to lunch, I was stopped in my tracks by… well, spring. The sky was a clear blue and the finally-warm sun filtered through tiny, new leaves, so lightly and intensely green. Every year, this moment makes my stomach go ‘woosh’.
What am I doing?
I’ve been thinking about a blog for some time, but – uncharacteristically – wasn’t sure I had much to say. Or maybe it was the public nature of it all. A blog was very “Look At Me!”, wasn’t it? Then I remembered that although I may be shy, I’ve never been bashful about expressing my…
