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!

Perfection

HA!

About a week ago, I picked up something in my travels on the net.  Not the kind of thing you want to pick up, like the winning lottery numbers, the email address of an old friend or the meaning of life found on an obscure website from outer Mongolia (do they have internet access in…

It’s Here

Part of me wonders if I got this blog just so I can relentlessly and obsessively share the pictures from my new digital camera with the ENTIRE WORLD. I love technology.

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…
