  On Desirability  Yesterday while walking, I decided to turn down a street I don't visit often.  A thought entered my mind about desirability.  Of course, any definition is going to vary by person and by the particular subject.    As thoughts were coming at me in rapid-succession I noticed a bui...

 Are We There Yet?   I suggest you put away any thoughts of what may be happening in the world or with you or those close to you at the moment.

  Gnarled And Twisted As I turned the corner on my walk, I saw it...a big tree.  I am sure I have noticed it in the past but Thursday morning for some reason it looked different.  While large, this would not likely qualify as a giant one. Years before...I remember seeing the tree known as the Gen...

 In Praise Of Experts And Expertise  I think most of us understand the importance of true experts and real expertise.  Well, at least I hope so but I do wonder on occasion.  Not for long, mind you.   There's no need to create havoc or any unnecessary disruption/disturbance in my brain.   Unrealis...

 On The Subject Of Luggage. . .  "You know. I love you more than my luggage."   That's a line from the movie Steel Magnolias.  I kinda remember the scene when it was first spoken in 1989 but I didn't give it much thought.  Years later, it became a comment by some as an attempt to show endearment....

 Peek A Pique or is it Pique A Peek? Go ahead.  Beyond that open gate...  Behind the curtain.  Over there.  And here as well.  Let's face it, curiosity can be found in lots of places.   A glimmer of glamour or a glop of gloom.  It's there to discover.  In the process, one can find out a lot about...
