you hook him up! I read that quote on the net when I got my first computer in ‘96. I loved it then, I love it even more now. (more…)

Check out this beauty - courtesy of the Hubble Site. No, it’s not one of the spots I’m going to visit on my road travels but it is a feast for the imagination. (more…)

The moon is out - it’s a beautiful 36 degrees tonight - just the kind of night that makes me really happy to have a place to hang out in, away from the freaking cold. No urges to race out into the night air and sprint to the top of a mountain…no sir-e-e-e. Get me hot blankets and lots of warm potent potables and I just might survive until the dawn hits. And what’s that old saying, “It’s always coldest just before dawn?” OK! Forget the dawn shit and just give me what I want. (more…)

This will be an attempt to finish my WPBT report…but don’t hold your breath as I’m not holding mine. If you visit the first pages I put up, there are a few corrections with pictures and names and blog urls attached - instead of unknowns. Thanks everyone for sending me an email. During the coming weeks I may post a picture and if one of you knows the mystery blogger, please send me the name and URL. And if your picture is up, and your eye color isn’t exactly as you remember it was when you looked in the mirror this morning, it’s because you had major red eye in the picture I have of you and I ‘touched’ it up. Live with it…ok? (more…)

Today is sweet Kayanna’s 9th birthday. She was born on Friday 13th, 1996, my mother was born on Friday 13th in December also. Kayanna’s my granddaughter. She lives in Missouri with her mom but the good news is she will be here at Christmas to spend four days with me. Better than SWEET! I hope the weather is good enough for a hike at Anniversary Narrows while they are here. I just called her and sang Happy Birthday to her…she was kicking the Sand Girl out of her eyes and thoughts, time to get ready for school. D-A-M-N…I don’t miss those ‘jump up at the crack of dawn when it’s colder than hell’ school days at all. (more…)

If you haven’t read the beginning of the WPBT, please jump to the previous post. I semi started trying to put some things together but I ran out of steam. It’s extremely difficult for a vampiress to have to survive when the sun is out - even if most of the time is spent in a casino. (more…)

The WPBT - what an event. There’s not enough energy in my fingers and brain to fill in everything that happened today or to even begin to express my feelings about all the fantastic people that introduced themselves to me. I’ve never felt more welcome and secure in a group of people that simply come together to have a good time, try to beat each other’s brains out in a game of poker, and then go home and write about it. Incredible! I’m just a little old granny, pecking along in cyber space and slinging tickets across the green felt…but D-A-M-N!!! They made me feel like I’m a super star. (more…)
