Mr. Blue was always the care taker of the Kitties. He was the fearless leader who made sure to divide his time among laps in the room. He kept his brother’s ruckus nature in line and encouraged Mo to be part of the family. When I think of the gentleman kitty it shall always be of my Mr. Blue. (more…)
It all started when I was bored at a conference and noticed the hotel meeting room had horrid carpet. You’d never pick to go anywhere. I made a photo silently with my phone and e-mailed it to a friend in Britain that has as warped a sense of humor as I do. Well that started what has become a years long tradition of making a photo album of the ugliest carpets I encounter. Most have been convention centers and hotels. This one was a hotel in Georgia’s hallway. Lovely, eh, rushing out to Lowes to get it installed aren’t you. I won’t shock your senses with more but do know I think with the last decade of collecting I am becoming an ugly public carpet connoisseur.
We all know this movie. If you don’t please get thee to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Google Play, iTunes, or wherever you get your movies now that Blockbuster is busted and see it. It is fabulous and for my money one of the best comedies ever. I’ve seen it more times than Phil in the movie re-lived February 2nd. Every time I belly laugh. It’s a rare thing to have a movie like that. So here’s to the books, poems, paintings, photos, movies, tv shows that always bring us joy. I’m going to share just a few of mine. One that like Phil and February 2nd I repeat again and again. (more…)
I’ll be the first to admit that the older I get the more I dislike big crowds. I’ve never liked being packed like a sardine but now it’s more than that. So I avoid things that look to be too crowded. Also I don’t like loud. Yes I’m too old and it’s too loud. Don’t care, looking forward to those Senior Citizen discounts rolling in quietly.
Another month another day to cover with a theme, finally I wanted an open day. Tuesdays have become about reviews of books, movies, TV shows, and the like. So Wednesday is wide open, anything goes today whatever hits me. It may be something I did sometime ago. It might just be an idea that natters at my mind. Heck it could be a rant on or praise of something I feel worthy. It could just be a photo post, like today. A photo I made or found (with the right licensing) that I like. It’s a wait and see game for us both. Sit back and enjoy whatever comes at you on Wednesdays and let’s both hope it helps us get over the hump toward Friday.
Today is a photo I made in Williamsburg, Virginia July 14, 2013.
