globe theatre
In the words of Charlie Brown, “Life is like a snow globe: sometimes you have to shake things up and see what happens!” That clever title and quote comes from my Word Seeks which sits next to my Crossword Puzzles, one of which I daily partake, depending on the quantity and quality of my grey…

all about moods
Today I am researching “mood.” It all starts when I run across somebody talking about the emotion ring on their hand. This brings back memories of mood rings created in 1975. This leads to mood lamps, similar to lava lamps of the past. Memories of happy, naïve days. My interest is piqued and thus I…

half birthdays

My sister even sent me information to enter the contest held in her honor, but being in the middle of some life crisis or other, it didn’t happen. Hoping to be inspired again, I treated myself…

I’ve fought my bushy eyebrows which meet in the middle of my nose all of my life. And now, from watching the tv series, Elementary, I know I’ve inherited from my father a syndrome, synophrys. Learning of this prompted me to do some research. I found out eyebrows are not just a beauty fascination; they…

pie, pi, π
I’ve done some research. Today is a universally accepted holiday, March 14, π day. While I detest Hallmark capitalist proliferated made-up special days, this I am considering celebrating. Pi Day, founded in 1988 (wow, I am really late), celebrates the mathematical ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, π, 3.14, hence, March 14. Welcome…
