Born of Fire
That's what they say, anyway. For a wordsmith, however I begin to wonder. I think that pictures prompt a thousand words. I see stories in every picture, emotion in every image, expression in each icon. In any case, I had the off-opportunity to take some pictures of nature today. Each tells its own story, and …
I took a big chance a week ago. Anniversaries are special times, and as such, putting all of your eggs in an unknown basket could turn out pretty bad. Lucky for me, it didn't. I heard about a Bed & Breakfast on Twitter from someone I was just getting to know, Gina Stark. I figured …
Not really :-). Just getting a well needed facelift. When I first started the blog, I knew that the format was only going to satisfy me for a short time. I didn't like the fact that the older format only had a fixed header, and just some of the text and layout was a bit …
My mom's favorite story of me is when I was very young. I would go into the kitchen, take all of the pots and pans out of the cupboard, climb inside and sit there. I would be there for hours, by myself, in the dark, just chilling out. Every once in a while, she would …
Ever since I was young, I have been intrigued by names. I like different sounding names, unique names, but more than anything, I like the meanings of names. My interest in names didn't start out all wonderful-like. It was more out of survival. My parents split when I was 6, and even though I know …
Tomorrow I mark another year. I don't know why, but I'm looking forward to this particular mark more than years past. How can you be excited about getting older? I know, weird isn't it? I shouldn't be surprised though. One of the things I appreciate about my mom is that she continually teaches me to appreciate …
This has been a challenging week for me. Trying to deal with life and all that, understand where I am, where I am going, a lot of pondering, burning through all kinds of brain power... The result - I came to the big realization, that I am not omniscient. Not even close. In fact, I …
Whenever I go to Reno for business, I always make a point of having breakfast at Peg's Glorified Ham n Eggs. The food is excellent, and if you are a bacon lover like me (sorry, J 🙂 ), it is paradise. What astounds me, however, is not the enormous amount of food that I can never …
My weekend was pretty planned out, to the point that I thought I wasn't going to get around to doing a post. I literally had "things to do, places to go, and people to see". Some of my plans fell through, but all in all, it's turning out to be a good weekend. But back …
The last couple weeks, I've been a grump. Not a big grump, but just enough for me to know that I was a grump (I'm sure others noticed it too). When I get like this, I get silent and invisible. Not a good thing when you are trying to have some level of online presence …
