So. A while back, like some time before I left for Italy, I signed up to advertise with Project Wonderful, and so far, I think I might be able to take one other person out for a soda with the money I’ve earned. But they’ll have to drive because I wouldn’t be able to afford [...]

Oh, friends, I am ecstatic to report to you that I’ve just taught my last night class of the semester. I don’t really believe it yet, but there it is. Tomorrow is the last night for the students, but since I’m just the Monday/Wednesday teacher, it matters not to me. And I’m going to have [...]

So I mentioned the other day a few things I’d like to do when I retire, namely bake, Salsa dance, kayak and ride a bike through China. Well after tonight’s excursion to the NC Museum of Art, I’ve got another activity to add to the list – senior adult chorus.

If you and I are friends on facebook, you may have seen my recent mobile upload of the ENORMOUS cockroach Josh and I discovered in the window last week. It had really nasty, hairy legs, and we think it was laying an egg sack in our window between the pane and the screen. I don’t [...]

Friends, Emily Furr Hogan has once again sent me the most amazing internet treasure, and although Madame has her own blog, for some reason, she doesn’t post these things, but sends them to me instead. And I then have the pleasure of passing them on to you. And believe you me, it is with great [...]

I wanted to write SOMETHING because I get better numbers on the Google when I do, but I really have to go to bed. A thousand apologies for not having anything to say earlier. My mama’s in town, and we’ve been hanging out all day, so I chose to neglect you all. Can you blame [...]

In college, my friends and I used to imagine that whenever the guy we had a crush on at the moment came into a room, time would stand still and everything would go all hazy except for the two of us as we crossed the room, a slight glow emanating from us both as we [...]

You know, some days I just run out of things to say to you. They are often the same days I come back to class after the break and don’t know what to do for the last hour. It is on those days that we play CatchPhrase. I think that if you are exceptionally good [...]
