    A New Addition

      Hi, I’m on a social media break so I’ll only see comments here on the blog and not on Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr.  If there is a question or comment that you want me to see right away, the blog is the place to do it.   I’m back to Social Media (maybe) on November…

  • Brew U a the CIA

    Brew U a the CIA

    On Saturday, I spent a good chunk of time at the Culinary Institute of America at their Brew U Beer and Food Festival and I was in a bit of a brain fog all day Sunday but it was worth it… I’ve been to the CIA for a day workshop but this was the first…

  • How can I keep from singing?

    How can I keep from singing?

      My life flows on in endless song Above earth’s lamentation. I hear the real, though far off hymn That hails the new creation Above the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing; It sounds an echo in my soul How can I keep from singing?   For as long as I can…

  • My Great Grandmother’s Chair

    My Great Grandmother’s Chair

    At least I think that this belonged to my Great Grandmother. I don’t remember exactly how I ended up with it.  I am 99% sure it was in the attic of the family farmhouse when we moved into it when I was 14. It was in pretty rough shape then and that was 1986. But…

    Nellie Bly, Nina Simone, Georgia O’Keefe… and me.

    You guys know about Nerdette, right? Although, I honestly have issues with the word “Nerd” like I have issues with the word “foodie”, I make a concession for Nerdette. And Wil Wheaton. But that’s it. No one else get’s to call me a nerd, okay? I have internal emotional scars from the 80’s about the…

  • You’ve totally missed me, right?

    You’ve totally missed me, right?

    Look at that.. another “hey I’ve been busy sorry I’ve been away yadda yadda yadda” post. Shocking! So anyway, this is what I’ve been up to. I found a new amazing snack. I’ve been torturing my neighbors with my new banjolele. Please note the Bing Futch shirt. It’s totally cool to wear a shirt about…

  • Aloha, Judy

    Aloha, Judy

    Sometimes, I get an idea and I will not let it go. Wanting to learn to play the ukulele was one of those things. Yes, I know.. hipster shmipster… shaddup already. See, when I was *cough* younger, I used to sing a lot.. like.. a lot.. and really really loved it.. and I’ve gotten out…
