Alien Technology

I knew it. After trying to knit for the first time in oh, 35 years or so, I’m convinced that not only is this not really for me, unless I want to make simple knitted scarves forever, but that the art of knitting itself is nothing less than Alien technology. Who invented this art of [...]

The Wonders of DSL

I’m BACK! It started innocently enough – some static on the phone lines. A little slow on the internet, and the Blogger screen sitting quietly without moving on my monitor. Frustration led to my hitting the “end task” button more times than I can count. I gave up entirely and swore I was ditching Blogger [...]

Zowie!

Just got an email from my son Rob. He just received word from an editor at Kodak that one of two photographs he submitted to them was chosen to be the Picture of the Day for Nov. 17, and will appear on the big screen in Times Square in NYC every few mintues throughout the [...]
