I Wonder

A few years ago I noticed a lot of very small books in the stores with various themes. It occurred to me that I could assemble a little book of things I wonder about. My list of such things has grown over the years. Now I wonder about whether I’ll ever get such a collection put together.

Fat City Visited

Today I cleaned out my medical records file. I noticed with interest that, in 1999, I lost 20 pounds without dieting or extra exercise. There is a story behind that unusual weight loss.

Just eating someone else?s cooking is always a treat. It… click here to continue



Happy Thanksgiving!

After struggling with virus infected files on my desktop computer for hours, Norton is still unable to fix, quarantine or delete three infected files. So I’ve resorted to using my notebook computer until I have time to sort out the details of the infection and see if I can find a fix. Oh Bill Gates, what hast thou wrought!
