Mama, don’t embarrass me. We have to show respect. In the words of Bobby Dylan, “now’s not the time for your tears”. I know there have been many shed of the last few days, months even, about the prospect of this change in our country, but ask yourself this: Isn’t it just a tiny bit exciting to take on this unknown?...

Today I’m just pondering what’s happened. It’s going to take some time to work this all out. Meanwhile, there are some good articles on this event if you have the time to read them. One is a letter from a screenwriter to his fifteen year old daughter and his wife. Another is the editorial of David Remnick at The New Yorker....

ARGHHHHH….here I go again. I said, no more politics, but I do wish to note that a friend called mama to tell her that the Canadian website for emigrating crashed after the news! I guess the Canadians had better gear up for more inhabitants. (Num, num lots of maple syrup) Now think about this: What if having a Republican SENATE, CONGRESS, SUPREME...

DO NOT FORGET TO VOTE –FOR A KINDER, GENTLER ETHICAL AMERICA–OR NOT, BUT VOTE! IT IS YOU WHO ARE LEADING YOUR COUNTRY. Don’t I look a little…er…furrier?

Are the holidays really upon us? Well, it’s not just Halloween that creates haunts. Are you getting the holiday haunt? Mama is on a tear, mainly because she contributes to BREAD magazine, which is all about, well, bread and things, and she has just polished up her panettone recipe for the mag and so is making us all drool ahead of holiday time. But...

Talk about a FALL! See this stuff on our patio? Those are strawberry tree flowers knocked off by HUGE bees who are here fertilizing and are they making a mess or what? It’s a pity we can’t think of something to do with them. Mama thought maybe tea would be good (for after my ZEN sessions) but the tea did not taste good at all (probably deadly...

Sometimes one gets one’s teeth in something and doesn’t want to let go. Well, mama put that photo in the blog on toussaint of the rather strange gravesite of our friend, and then we both read the comments and Dezi said he thought that was a pretty cool grave, and so we are all taking another look at it, and in a funny way, yes, it is a fairly...

First Step: Focus Well, after that spooky Halloween softened by lovely pumpkins from Nellie, I think we should be MINDFUL of just BEING and try to practice a little ZEN like these pooches. I, of course, practice ZEN all day long even when others are losing their minds around me and whizzing around like crazed weasels. Hey, piece of cake. This is what I...

This is an attempt to answer the questions for The Black Cat Blue Sea Award: Well, Raena Belle and Dezi say I should tell you why I started blogging and all I can say is that one day I started thinking about Life and Love and Family and World Events and People Who Inspire Me and all those sorts of things and I just started writing and wrote nine pages...
