https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/dance/ They got the slow dance out of the way, so they could dance to the Persian music. My nephew married a gorgeous young lady whose family is from Iran. Her dad gave an absolutely hilarious speech that had all the wedding guests rolling in the aisles. To the Dance!

To all you commuters on Public Transportation…
Beware of relying too much on the Government Transportation (bus, train) to get you to work. Be careful of selling your car, and trying to "save the planet" by using mass transportation. This is what happens: DC Workers Brace For Nightmare Commute as Metro Shuts Down for Emergency Inspection The Powers That Be in the …

One Love (Photo Challenge)…My Love for the Seashore
As long as I can remember, I have always loved the seashore. I grew up in Seattle, on Puget Sound, an arm of the Pacific Ocean. In the summer, my sister and I would join our maternal grandparents and our Portland cousins for a week at Seaside, on the Oregon coast. In the 1980s, I …

Weekly Photo Challenge…Harmony…My Heritage in Pictures, and Music
In 2007, my husband and I went to Israel with Michael Medved and his family (he is based and broadcasts from KTTH 770 Radio in Seattle). One morning, I took a solitary walk to the Old City in Jerusalem, and visited the Western (Wailing) Wall, the remaining remnant of the Second Temple. Jews come here …

Weekly Photo Challenge: States of Mind: in Awe of Nature
I love going to the mountains, God's Big Construction Project (and also destruction project). These mountains, in Zion National Park in Utah, used to be at the bottom of a big shallow sea. Notice the many layers of rock, first deposited over millions of years, then thrust into the sky. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/state-of-mind/
Proof Positive that Money Cannot Buy Votes
Democrats tend to say that they are interested in getting the money out of politics. To this end, they have passed numerous campaign finance "reforms", and when running for office they tend to disparage the influence of Super Pacs (except, of course, for their own) and big corporate donors. [Just don't ask Hillary the Harpy …
Weekly Photo Challenge: Seasons
I've got this one covered. My favorite season of the year is Autumn. I got married in October of 2003, and I'm in that period of my life, and loving it. My husband and I went to Victoria, British Columbia for our honeymoon, since he had never been there before. We took the Victoria Clipper …
Weekly Photo Challenge: Time
I was finding this topic pretty difficult-how do you picture Time? The original description over at The Daily Post cited Matt Haig's "Reasons To Stay Alive", and he states that a way to stop time is "Read". Aha! On my trip to University of Cambridge, we went to the Library at Gonville & Caius College, …
Resilience, or…Starting a new career in middle age
Any complete career change is a crapshoot when you’re a middle-aged person. I have a Master’s degree which I never used, and from the time in the mid- 1970s when I graduated, I spent twelve years as a hospital pharmacy assistant, gaining one of the first licenses given out after they were required by Washington …

Weekly Photo Challenge: Vibrant
How's this for a vibrant splash of color? Azalea bush at the Seattle Japanese Garden in the U of Washington Arboretum. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/vibrant/
