May I Please Speak to Miss LeeAnn?
That’s what the early-morning caller asked my daughter. Yes, indeed, I’m in the gracious state of South Carolina and the caller was an employee of the service that picks up yard waste. While yesterday was pickup day, I missed it, and through a series of phone calls, located the right people who offered to come…

I’m here!!
An uneventful flight; actually, travel was very good. This Delta/Northwest merger has resulted in a very classy airline. The service was excellent, personnel very professional, very helpful.

There’s a warning here, with good reason. Started last night, made for interesting travel home from a Christmas party in a nearby town. There’s a warning here, blizzard no less, serious weather, dangerous conditions, zero visibility. There are warnings everywhere, aren’t there? They don’t all come with flashing lights or that annoying signal used on…

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Part I
Some of you know I’m a musician. That affects how I remember things and how I learn. No to mention that I’m a child of the 60s and 70s so it should be no surprise to find music throughout these pages. Today we borrow from Bowie – David the musician, as opposed to Jim, of…
