is having the cork sink half down the neck of your only bottle of wine, and finding a way to get it out anyway.
I’m so glad my day is over.
Believe it or not, the worst part of my day involved photocopying paperwork. Important paperwork. Paperwork that I didn’t want (but now IS) out [...]

Determination
Who Needs Engine Oil
So, my car has been making a ticking sound under the hood since last Friday. I noticed it on the way to the airport, before I left for England. When I came home, more ticking. I popped the hood (bonnet) while the engine was running to see if I could find the problem (because I [...]
Highlights of the March Get-A-Way to England
I arrived at 6:40 am last Friday in Heathrow Airport. The flight across the pond wasn’t remarkable, really, except for the usual ”Are we there yet?” voices playing in my head. 3 or 4 hours into the flight, I am silently urging the tail wind on… “Push, dammit, push!”
I envision Ian standing there in the airport. [...]
Sticky Malt Loaf and Photos
Briefly, saving this lovely recipe for later: Sticky Malt Loaf (nom) and here are some pictures to tide anyone over while I am still quite busy in the UK. Leaving tomorrow. Boo hoo.
Say what you need to say

Knowing you’d be better off instead
If you could only
Say what you need to say (8x)
Have no [...]
Bumper Stickers

After all, advertising that you plan to vote with a particular politician or that you love Jesus or “Abortion stops my heart from beating” doesn’t really affect anyone else, does it? It’s not [...]
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere
I’m sure. In the UK, it’s already Friday, and it’s less than a week till I fly out. I received a notice from the airline that I have a trip next week. Yay!
Tonight, I got in my car after picking up my daughter and the stupid car wouldn’t start. I got a jump [...]
My Honey is a Busker
Not “Husker“. “Busker“ He’s off with a stack of poetry to the Milton Keynes mall to do a little reading (or a lot of reading) with one or two of his poetic collegues. I’ll be interested to hear how it goes. I bet it’ll be fun and very worth seeing, if you happen [...]
Lil’ Bit Needs a Home (Wantagh, New York)
Like many animal lovers, Rosanna volunteers at her local shelter. She has become bonded with one particular dog that has been at the shelter for two years now. Lil’ Bit owns up to her name, she’s a little chunk of love on four legs.
After two years in a shelter in Wantagh, New York, she’s wondering [...]
National Geographic’s Blue Whale Special
This looks like it will be an amazing show for people fascinated with ocean life, as I am. They say that filming so detailed of blue whales has never been done before.
