Magic of the Sun

Today was a lovely, sunny, blue-sky day. A bit chilly, but the sun streaming in the living room windows warmed my recliner while I read the Sunday funnies and watched the not-so-funny news. The sun worked its magic on me and I feel better today than I have for several days.

Stories from My Life

Today I started listing on an index page, stories from my life that I have already written. Stories from My Life may be the title of my memoir collection, with the sub-title: Memoirs of a Late Blooming Author.

I’m printing out articles that may overlap each other to read together and fill in things I may have forgotten… click here to continue

We Interrupt this Program

Yesterday I ran my rant about pharmaceutical companies’ advertising. Today, it’s my turn to advertise. With Valentine’s Day approaching, it’s time to think about romance.
