 Mirror, Mirror On The Wall I readily admit it.  I am not likely to be confused with Narcissus.  I do not love the mirror. Not a fan.  Not at all.   These days it seems to require some skill to avoid that object.  Technologically speaking, at least.  Zoom and House Party plus all sorts of other w...

 My Pondering Pantry  Recently, I mentioned my "pondering attic" in a post.  It seems Nina Hollander appreciated that term and I think she and Alexandra Ron and Alexandra Seigel may like today's post title even better.  After all, who isn't a fan of alliteration?   I have long noticed how some Ac...

 When I Feel The Earth Move...   When you live in California, news of earthquakes rarely reach the forefront of news reporting.  I wouldn't use the word common but those who live here or know a little about our state are not exactly surprised that feeling the earth move brings on a certain congen...

 Just Call Me Shaggy It's been more than one month since my last haircut.  That's a long time for me.  Weeks overdue.   I was thinking of that as I remembered a recent 'Just For Fun' question Carol Williams asked in the Q&A section about nicknames.  In a bit of back and forth commenting which is ...

 Of Course, Change Is Constant Although it has been some time since I have driven past it, I do recall seeing the building since I entered the world many years ago:  that place of my birth.   I was born at St Vincent's Hospital in Los Angeles where my mother and her sister were also born.  My you...

 And Then I Realized. . .  It wasn't as if I didn't know or wasn't aware but the realization once again hit me in the face.  Figuratively, of course.   I typically consider myself to be a courteous kind of person.  More rather than less.  Holding doors open.  Letting people pass when it is appare...

  On Commonality Finding substitutions are widely evident. Not just now but as a part of history.  Today we may see it more often because of circumstances but it has likely been a part of the conversation of the past.  As we participate in the now and think of the future - you, like me, may ponde...

 Back To Normal  It's a topic - Normal - that I have previously addressed in posts and in real life.  While that is definitely true, it remains one that is elusive in certain interpretations.   When I hear things are returning to normal, I wince.  As I have previously explored, normal is quite su...

 Put Another Candle On The Birthday Cake Last Friday was my younger sister's birthday. I wished her greetings virtually(this would typically be a drive on multiple freeways of about an hour or so in the best of times).   She has now reached an age I wouldn't have dreamt possible for either of us....

 On The Topic Of Essential But Not Necessarily That   It wasn't an unwanted path but it's not exactly the route I had planned.  Detours of all sorts seem to happen.   Disruptions, as we know, are the same.   The idea for this post came to me while scrolling through the ActiveRain blog roll.  Topi...
