I am NOT a cat person. But I could be accurately called an “animal” person. Cats have, to me, always been a bit mysterious; a bit too independent for my blood. It seemed that they really could care less about whether we are around or not. Well this cat, the one that, basically, owns us;…
Early memories are difficult to sort, at times. The fleeting pictures with differing indices of backgrounds. “Was that there – or maybe there?” or “Had I lost my first tooth yet?” My memories of Mom seem to start with a hand. How interesting. It was a hand pulling a sled. I recall laying in that…
I enjoy Twitter quite a bunch. It works if one participates. Here is one guy’s experience: He sits in his room – no one to talk to. Quiet . Alone with his thoughts. He discovers Twitter. He looks at it, but puts it off. Later he looks again, and, for the heck of it, joins…
