It frosts me that anti-abortionists are getting away with the argument that the fetus needs to be protected because it is a “potential” human.

Challenged a friend to lose 30 pounds, along with me, by Election Day, November 8. 103 days away. 14 weeks. First two challenges: Quit sugar, and portion control. Severely limit portions. Also, walk three times each day. I’m already walking at least once, now to up it to three times. Also, include standard swinging and […]

I went to the blaffer museum, Matthew Ronay sculptures and Hilary Lloyd light sculptures. Ronay was mostly bleh, but he did some interesting things with random small holes as surface textures, and something similar with random small shallow grooves in random patterns.

What is one thing I am proud of? Do I have to choose just one? ‘ I raised three daughters who are all wonderful people, and I miss them terribly as they are off living their lives. I created a marvelous statue from soapstone commemorating the trials of the people of El Salvador. Recently, I […]

Ah. I missed the first blog prompt from the Live Your Legends Blog challenge. As you can probably tell from the title of this blog, I am angry at all the hypocrisy and falsification that goes on in our daily lives. Everybody lies. Politicians, Preachers, Business owners, advertisers – everybody shades the truth, hides it […]

Preparing to get on with my day this morning when a notice appeared on my phone that my automated payment to my phone plan failed. Oh. right. A couple of weeks ago my bank called me and said my credit card was part of a group that may have been compromised, and that I needed […]

I signed up for the Live Your Legends activity. First, the challenge is to start a blog. Done that. Then the challenge is to write in it every day. Whoops. Today’s challenge is to write about what people thank me for. When Terry and Christy were practicing for the Texas Water Safari, They were very […]

Address. Phone Number. Email. Please list all educational institutions you attended. The dates, Addresses, GPA and when you […]
