The Passage by Justin Cronin My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was really engaging and somewhat satisfying at the end. For being part of a trilogy, it was long. I think there were parts that could’ve been condensed and it was confusing about how the characters in the beginning were relevant to the story […]
Just poppin’ in
Gah! It’s been a crazy couple of months. I’ve been studying web development through Skillcrush and I’m in the middle of a Code Ninja class. They’ve both been great for learning how to do things the right way. As you may know, I’ve been building sites since around 2000. I taught myself, so my code […]
Feminism in the 18th Century Ottoman Empire – The Drowning Guard by Linda Lafferty
I have a limited knowledge of world history, with bits and pieces of European and Egyptian history comprising the majority of what’s in my head. I had no idea this was based on real history – people that actually lived and events that actually occurred. I picked this up partly because someone told me it […]
A Simple Mistake
Having worked in a pharmacy for a short while a million years ago, I learned some valuable things. Sometimes I forget how easy it is to not know some of them. One of the most common things people do is take Tylenol PM or Advil PM because they want to sleep even though they don’t […]
Green Smoothies? What the heck?
A while back, one of those times we set our sights on getting healthier, a friend recommended that we try drinking green smoothies as a start. Whoa, I thought. Put the brakes on. This sounds scary. We talked about it and she clarified. A green smoothie has sweet greens (my favorite is baby spinach), frozen […]
It’s That Time of the Year Again
With the new year and so many people concentrating on their resolutions to lose weight and get in shape, in addition to all the other improvements that people have committed to, we could use some resources to help us stay focused. And some encouragement. Inspiration. Motivation. One of my favorite comics to illustrate this was […]
Oh my achin’ feet
I know I’m not the only person that has bad feet, so I thought I’d share. Recently, since I’m out of a job right now, I’ve been home more often than not. I don’t like to wear shoes all day at home so I’ve been wearing slippers, flip flops, and walking around barefoot/ or in […]

A Blue Heron Kind of Day
For the first time ever, I had a zoom lens in my possession. It was tricky to figure out where to use it on its virgin excursion. I considered Holy Hill because it’s the most beautiful time of year to take pictures there, but I’ve been there so often and it’s always overcrowded during the beautiful […]
Knitting Pattern for Basic Dish/Washcloths
Like I say in the pattern itself, most of the dish/washcloth patterns I’ve used in the past have ended up being really long rectangles or just a really large size that’s more like a dish/washcloth had a baby with a hand towel. I wanted something more basic and regular sized, so I took a shot […]
