Nostalgia…The best weeks of my life
My readers will be familiar with my magic three weeks in Cambridge, England in 1991, from my post on that trip. Thinking back on my long life, those three weeks are the only time in my life that I can say I'm nostalgic for. I lived through the hippie 1960s and 1970s, and I'm not …
Pottermore, Are You There?

Funny, but I have been sorted, in both places, to Houses with Serpents. Yes, I'm Slytherin at Hogwarts, and Horned Serpent at Ilvermorny. And just this past weekend, I discovered …

This is depressing. If Americans don't know why July Fourth is important, how are they going to appreciate their country, and how …

In this 1983 cartoon tribute to D-Day, Charles Schultz takes his Peanuts gang to France. I thank the people of Truth Revolt for the link to this. May we never forget the brave soldiers of America and England who gave their lives so we could be free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-SC890E75g

My Beautiful Pacific Northwest
I was born and raised in Seattle. I have lived all but 2-1/2 years in the Seattle area. We have the world's best climate. Temperate with a Capital T. No scorching hot summers or frigid winters. The Seattle area has the highest concentration of dentists in the US. Why? The University of Washington has a …
