It's a winter wonderland :) I enjoy the change of the seasons and especially the first significant snow. Although, as usual, the first snow arrives with complaints. Well if you're complaining, you might want to think of moving. I like living here and experiencing each season as it comes and goes. It's one the alluring aspects of living in the …
The prognosticator, see all - tell all, the seer of seers, the prophet, the forecaster, the futurist... is back! It's time for my predictions.

Have you noticed it? Everyone has a heightened sense of anxiety. Lack of social interaction, polarizing politics, mutating viruses...it's no wonder. We all have coping mechanisms and many are taking it out on their fellow humans by acting aggressively with little tolerance for their opinion or even consideration. I believe we are truly living i …
I'm not one to self promote. Growing up, our house was about doing the right thing all of the time, laugh, be humble and respect all who live. So it's a bit out of character for me to write this. Today is an unusual day. I'm not even sure if this has happened before. I looked and didn't find an instance but logic tells me it did - today is my bir …
You know, you learn something everyday and today I learned that flamingos like doughnuts and coffee. No joke. The Granby Zoo in Quebec, Canada, reported that a pink flamingo escaped last Wednesday and was found a short time later loitering in the parking lot of a Tim Hortons. Karl Fournier, director of animal care at Zoo, said "To reassure everyo …

I've had the privilege of driving to New Jersey and Brooklyn this past week. Planning the trip to Brooklyn on Wednesday, Waze told me it would take about an hour from my house. It actually took over 2 hours...okay. However, I left the appointment at 2:30 and Waze came up with a 1.5 hour drive. It took over 3 hours. Jersey could've been in a dif …
Now this is a record worth mentioning especially since I cut the lawn at my house. A British man broke a Guinness World Record when he built a riding lawn mower that reaches a speed of 143.19 mph. Tony Edwards, a mechanical engineer from St. Martins, Shropshire, England, said he powered the lawnmower with a 1300cc unit from a Suzuki motorcycle. …
Anyone else find the cool weather a welcome break? True it's symbol of the coming winter that's predicted to be more snowier (is that a word?) than ever but last night I had dinner with my family outdoors and it felt great not to be sweating while eating :) To me a sunny cool day is football weather. It reminds me of my playing days. I loved sm …
It's Saturday...and anything goes.
