In Which I get Justice John G. Roberts’ Number Pegged
I was reading on another blog a post asking if readers’ kids had watched the inauguration and events at school. The most common reply was yes, they’d taken a 1/2 hour out of studies and they saw nothing wrong with it as it’s history. A half hour? Hell, we took the whole day. We started…

We’re Going to Need Some Good Music During the Long Walk Back
Yesterday afternoon I spent quite a long time talking on the phone to an old friend who lives half this continent away while H.o.p. was with Marty touring the Jim Henson exhibit at the Atlanta History Center. She was adamant I bring up NPR on the radio and listen to the concert at the Lincoln…

Here you are, a weird thing I learned via Yoga
How this came about, I don’t know really, and though it works for me it may not work for anyone else, and though it has worked for me now a number of times over the past few months, it may not work for me in the future. But it has worked for me every time…

Before you bother considering whether a glass is half empty or half full, you should first ask what's in it
H.o.p. wanted to hear Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” so I went to Youtube where I knew I could find a few versions fast and quick. Over in the side bar was a video titled, “Pachelbel Canon in D Major Perfect Version”. I’ve heard plenty of versions I don’t like and a few that I do. I…

The birthday sundae (and why H.o.p. discovers Godiva chocolate cheesecake)
H.o.p. enjoys a birthday sundae Light box enlargement H.o.p. had the past several months talked about wanting to go to the Cheesecake Factory for his birthday. Because of cheesecake? No, because he associates it with our trips to Arizona to see my folks and festive occasions…and because he likes the french fries and the hamburger…

The First Emperor Exhibit
Not only did we hit the King Tut exhibit at the Civic Center last Friday, the Wednesday before we visited The First Emperor, China’s Terracotta Army exhibit at the High. Again, no photos permitted so I’ve none to offer. At the link there are videos which we’ll no doubt spend time watching over the coming…

Bye-bye goldfish
Doing my yoga last night, I missed my goldfish. You see, our apartment is small enough that I have only one place I can do my yoga, which is in the walkway between the living room and computer/dining room/office which is where the fish tank is tucked in a corner next to the bathroom door.…

Writing about something as if it's someone else's situation may not help with making a decision
There was a little family that lived in an apartment in an old, old building circa 1910. Their apartment was pretty small and the woman learned a larger apartment with a better view had opened up in the front building. The woman went to look at the larger apartment. The larger apartment was significantly larger…

Heston's "On the B Side" on the Michael Baisden show, now
Heston, today, on the Michael Baisden show. Heston is the artist Marty recorded who recently released his CD Storyteller. It’s also available on iTunes. Update: After a couple of brief interviews with Heston, and a few callers speaking to Heston, they’re playing “No Way”. A nice, gentle choice. Sounds really good broadcast. Update: Heston’s page…
