• I am Who I am and It's My Dance Floor
  on Mar 3, 2015 in Daddy Mama Olivia Pope PBR Scandal
  "I think. therefore I am" or as Malory Keaton on "Family Ties" put it so well after several days into her first philosophy class, "I shop, therefore I am". My favorite may be Gloria Gaynor's put on it, "Life's not worth a damn, 'Til you can say I am...
• An Age Old Question
  on Mar 1, 2015 in cooking household marriage and relationships
  There is a certain "conversation" that I swear has been going on between spouses since the stone age - "Dear, what do you want for supper?" "I don't know". And then any spouse tasked with preparing the menu for that evening knows the prospects of suc...
• Dust Bunnies, Peeps, and Creme Eggs
  on Feb 28, 2015 in candy Easter Easter Eggs household
  Once again I beseech the dust bunnies to busy themselves somewhere else other than hiding under my sofa, lying in wait behind every door, and hovering about in my candelabras. Isn't it time for them to start dying eggs? Making Peeps? Perhaps the...
• Baby Boomers and Millennials
  on Feb 26, 2015 in aging Baby Boomers growing up job job hunt Millennials
  I haven't figured out if all the late 20 and 30 somethings (the Millennials) feel they are immortal and therefore will never age or by the time they reach 50 they will have solved all the world's problems and riding off into the sunset will just be a...
• Movie Review - Rewrite
  on Feb 25, 2015 in Allison Janney Hugh Grant J.K. Simons Marisa Tomei movie Movie Review Rewrite
  Sometimes you come across a little movie that somehow never made the big markets. You wonder if the film cans just fell off the back off the FedEx truck on the way to the theaters. I found this film on iTunes of all places. And was surprised to see i...
• Post Mortem of the Oscars
  on Feb 23, 2015 in Academy Awards Oscars
  Shoot me that I am one of the few movie goers not enthralled with the genius behind Birdman. That I failed to see Micheal Keaton's true incredible talent playing an actor that the industry wants to sideline - whatever! Hoda Kotb on NBC (who I know li...
• Movie Review - McFarland
  on Feb 22, 2015 in Elsie Fisher Jm White Kevin Costner Maria Bello McFarland Morgan Saylor Movie Review movies
  If you want to see an uplifting movie with humor see McFarland. It is a film that will most likely not win any awards - unfortunately. Kevin Costner as Jim White, a coach, who due to several "unfortunate" encounters with school administrators at bett...
• Even the View Master is Virtual
  on Feb 20, 2015 in childhood growing up job hunt Mattel Silly Sand Sixth Finger Tammy Doll toys View Master
  And all the while I have been hashing my way through the forests of low paying jobs across the deserted plains of unavailable employment and about to jump off the cliff marked "Save your Insanity", Mattel has put part of my childhood in the "Olden Da...
• Minnesota, Large Dogs, and the Part I am Missing Here
  on Feb 19, 2015 in job job description job hunt
  Once again the algorithms confound me. Why do I get emails about accounting jobs in Minnesota when I entered "SC" as geographical area and Paralegal, Project Manager, or Executive Administrative Assistant as job titles? I do not do new math well. Hel...
• Movie Review - Black or White
  on Feb 18, 2015 in Black or White Jillian Estill Kevin Costner Movie Review movies Octavia Spencer
  There is no gray area in this film. It touches on the subject of race with all its ugly issues as it falls squarely in the middle of a family. And the role of Rowena Jeffers was written for Octavia Spencer. No woman can roll her eyes like that woman.
