There's lots of fun, quirky, and geeky stuff out there. I write about it.
Last week I wrote about having to give up one of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2014, so I thought this would be a good time to do a check in to see how I’ve done with this year’s list. Commit Random Acts of Kindness (at LEAST one per month) . – Definitely accomplished this one, and […]
Read More Resolution Check-InSo, life gets crazy, and that sucked all my blogging energy. However, I’m back now, and a lot of cool things have happened. During my short blogging sabbatical, I started a new job, went to the Gilcrease Museum and the Philbrook for their Monet exhibit, I took in a bit of Tulsa’s Brady District First […]
Read More I’m Baaaacckkk!This word reminds me of a poem my Grandma Joye wrote. She used to read it to me, every time I was at her house and it rained. Truthfully, I didn’t mind the rain there so much. It was a great opportunity to sit on her big covered front porch in the swing. I still […]

ScotsFest begins in Tulsa tonight, and a friend flies in from out-of-state today, and tomorrow we’ll all be there for the music, food, […]
Read More The Louder the Better!Okay, not really the opposite of me, but darkness isn’t my favorite. Yes, I may let my imagination run away with me more often than not, and there are things that you can’t see that go bump in the darkness. Maybe there’s a reason so many people are a little afraid of it. I’m just […]
Read More The Opposite of Me“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral […]
Read More I read a list of banned books today and thought of this.The time of year will soon be on us that I love the most. When the evenings begin to stretch out, the bugs start to leave you alone, and I can sit out in the evening and just breathe it all in.
