Life is seldom simple so we must make sense of the twist and turns
From the monthly archives:
I got a new cell phone, an LG Dare. It’s a touch screen phone with some nice features. It’s not an iPhone or even a Palm Pre but it seems a capable phone/pda. The more I use it the more I’m liking it.
I’d always said I wouldn’t leave Verizon for a particular phone and I [...]

I’d love a Banana Daiquiri about now…
I’m “reposing” for the moment with photography and posting. I certainly haven’t lost interest as I’m reading and working out the kinks with some post-processing experimentation but it hasn’t developed to this point into anything worthy of sharing.
I’ve also been feeding my geek gadget needs with the new laptop [...]

While reading this morning I found the article below to be very interesting.
Xeger writes “University of Chicago researchers have found that streams of sand can behave in a similar manner to liquids, forming water-like droplets when poured from a funnel. To obtain these results, they dropped their expensive high-speed camera from a height of several [...]

I’m drawn to organic designs in nature–as in the case of this full frame photo of the spiny leaves of the desert Sotol plant.
There’s something fascinating in the simplistic complexity created through the process of natural evolution. The fascination lies not in only its beauty, but of its imperfections and ultimate functionality. There is always [...]

I’m a silent and amazed subscriber to “unclutterer,” a blog about getting and staying organized. The amazement comes from seeing how some are able to have such wonderfully [...]

This morning I drove to a local hospital I hadn’t been in since my mother passed away a little over a year ago. As I walked down the halls and pressed the elevator button for the second floor it became all too familiar.
I was there today helping my cousin by sitting/visiting with my uncle [...]

Yes, a street most people would love to be on resides in Salisbury, NC–who would have believed it, certainly not I.
Of course the name “easy street” has a lot of history:
Easy Street (film), a Charlie Chaplin comedy
Easy Street (book), a memoir by Susan Berman about her mobster father, David Berman
Easy Street (TV Series), [...]

The Weekend Photo from Sunday’s post had a couple diagonal blades of grass crossing in front of flowers which appear to be the main subject of the photo. The grass, at first glance, seems to be a distraction but there’s something about it that keeps attracting my eye. Maybe it’s the gentle curve of the [...]

Perhaps if I hide behind this tree no one will notice me…
I had a nice weekend.
My children were over on Sunday for Father’s Day and we grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. Bonnie made deviled eggs, her famous bang-up barbeque baked beans and a homemade peach cobbler to accompany the dogs and burgers–no one went hungry. I [...]
