On a Scale of One to Ten

So how much does anyone care what happens to Michael Jackson’s fortune? I’m afraid more people care than should. I deplore the fact that he, like some other sad human beings, is the idol of millions.

I could possibly care somewhat about what happens to his children. They’ve not had a very good start and deserve a… click here to continue

Who Are These People

Recently I’ve browsed through a number of blogs, and read some of the news items on the internet. Scrolling down through hundreds of comments, I am alarmed by the hate and vitriol, as well as the apparent lack of knowledge of the comments’ authors.

New Building

Out here in King City a new building just went up on Highway 99 near Albertson’s. Biscuit Café, one of the tenants, opened their restaurant yesterday. I stopped there for lunch today. They have a slogan that goes something like, “We don’t serve fast food. We serve fresh food as fast as we can.” They also have at least… click here to continue

Playing Catchup

After being gone for a day and half, I’m caught up now on email, little chores and grocery shopping. I’ll swim and exercise later this evening. Tomorrow I’ll hit a library and pick up some memoir books. Reading some of those should be fun research. Maybe I’ll even look up a how-to-write-a-memoir-book or two, also.

A Day at the Beach

Yesterday I spent most of the day at a writers’ workshop in Manzanita. I drove over to Wheeler on Friday afternoon, had a great dinner at a new little restaurant that just opened a block from the lodge where I was staying, and spent the evening working at my laptop computer. On the way over I drove through acres… click here to continue
