Wordle and Other Excellent Friday Distractions

August 1, 2008

Have you spent time with wordle yet? It’s fun if you don’t have anything better to do. In fact, it’s perfect if you do have things to do, but just can’t seem to motivate yourself to do them. Cleaning the house seems more attractive by comparison considering the dark mood I was in after spending [...]

Naples & “Rude Ebullience”

July 17, 2008

On Sunday, the fifth day of our vacation to Italy, we were ready to leave Rome.  Not so much because we were tired of being there; we’d only put a small dent in what there is to see and do.  It was more because knowing the reservations at two more places had been made, and [...]

Gullibility and a Strong Core

April 25, 2008

In case you were wondering, I’m alive. I did go out on a couple of early morning walks this week, smartly attired in my plaid flannel pajama bottoms and a sweatshirt. By the time Thursday rolled around, though, I was on auto pilot and made a nose dive back into bed. Rude. Tone your core [...]
