Serenity… a life's expedition

The black cat that lives on my patio doesn’t belong to me. He doesn’t belong to anyone – although he seems remarkably well cared for, for a stray. His thick, glossy fur on his large, muscled frame alternately reflects and absorbs all light as he wanders, strutting through his half-wild life as a part of [...]

Mostly. And my head is not swimming nearly as much, so I think I’m on the road to recovery. Yay! I’ve realized, lately, how much I look forward to Sundays. I am not religious in the least but I’m glad others are, or at least that the day is pretty much a declared a non-business [...]

Yeah, I don’t know… I’ve had the flu for the past few days so I may not be tracking all that well or making that much sense, but this just seems a bit um… Cosbyesque to me. (It also seems to replicate some of the same “I have no real idea what blogging is about [...]

Suck it up, stiff upper lip, don’t let the bastards get you down, never let them see you cry… Well, unless you are singing the blues – then it’s okay. It’s good, in fact, because that produces something I can use and enjoy. Otherwise, though – keep it to yourself, hide in the closet– –  [...]

Well, this week is not starting out as planned and who knows how it’s going to end, so I am putting off the second installment of the Five by Friday series, I think. I do have all the sites picked out and such, but I want to go into a bit more depth with the [...]

So, I decided to go ahead and change the blog name. Not an earthquake type announcement, but still… . When thinking about what name I wanted, I realized that I wanted to incorporate one of my other um… online identities/user names, I guess, even though regardless of name I am pretty much the same. I’ve [...]

[I start each week of the Five by Friday series by visiting a blog I already read and just randomly clicking an unfamiliar link on their blogroll. Unfamiliar because the point of this exercise, for me, is to move out and beyond routine and see a little of what else is out there. Then, I [...]

I started this blog last month sometime – and like one does whenever they move into a new place, I started decorating and putting stuff here and there. When making the header graphic I placed a little tagline thing at the top that says “Just for Me”, mainly as a reminder that the main focus [...]

At least, one that works for me. So far! I found it here, at James Pearce is SIRSPANKY.COM. Here’s what he says: I found a solution today (or maybe it’s a workaround) within WP though. If you hit the enter key in the editor, it gives you a large gap between the paragraph above and [...]
