A sanctuary is someplace you want to be. It's often a quiet place, or a less-quiet place with no one else around. It's a place to retreat to, when you have had your fill of the honking horns, boomy bass coming from someone's hot-rod, or just backups in traffic. Not far from my home is …

Shall we try “canceling” the California teen…
...who tried, in a Twitter post (sorry, I will not link to anything on Twitter), to humiliate Trader Joe's Grocery into changing all their generic/ethnic product names? She did her best to bring down the wrath of the "Twitter Mob" on the grocery chain, who names some of its products after the countries in which …

Butt Out
Mayor Pete has ended his campaign for the DemocRat presidential nomination. Since the beginning, I have thought of him as "Mayor Butt". I figure that many voters just aren't ready for a homosexual president (count me in that number). What a waste of cuteness! BTW, he was a pretty poor mayor of South Bend, Indiana, …
Thought Experiment
What would happen if, with my magic wand (pine wood with unicorn hair, rigid flexibility), I caused the hair color of every woman in this picture to revert to its natural color? Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Patty Murray, Kamala Harris... Wouldn't it be just sweet to see every woman with her natural color, just like …
2020 Year of the Rat (and the optometrist?)
In the Chinese Zodiac, 2020 is a Rat year. Now, most people don't have very nice associations with the Rat, since they bring to mind ideas like Bubonic Plague, Lab Rat, filth, vermin, rat traps, and "dirty rat". Rats are normally viewed as pests, and most of us would scream and run away if we …

Happy Birthday, Harry Potter
And a big Thank You to JK Rowling for writing the novels that captivated me, an old lady. After seeing the first movie in 2001, I was totally hooked on Potter and his world of witches, wizards, spells, and potions. I was thoroughly entranced by the movie, and I thought the casting of the main …
Random thoughts on Saturday
School dreams. We all have them. There are numerous variations on the situation where you find yourself in class, and it's test day and you haven't reviewed any of the course material. The textbook is a fat volume of stories and you haven't opened it all semester. And you're naked. I have been having an …
It’s Leavenworth Time!
Once again, its mid-June, and time for the Leavenworth International Accordion Celebration. Hubby and I took last Thursday and Friday off from work, and drove the 2 hours up US2 to the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth. As usual, it was a beautiful drive, with nice scenery all the way up and over Stevens Pass to …

Are your gift ideas just not making it? Well, try something from Tiffany. That distinctive blue box under the tree will …
Vacation Travelogue-Hillsdale Cruise to Hawaii, Days Four and Five
By Day Four, we had gotten well into the routine of morning and afternoon lectures, broken up by an awesome breakfast buffet, walks on the deck when the weather permitted, lunch by the window, and just relaxing in the stateroom. Most of the time, it was too windy and cold on the deck to sit …
