Thanks for visiting!When the Board of Supervisors for the City of San Francisco stands to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, one voice is silent.

I had hoped that joining the 365Project would get me more active on my blog. Well, at least I’ve kept up with posting the photos. Interesting, some days I have trouble deciding which among many (or at least several) good shots I want to put up; other days I have trouble finding one good one…
I didn’t even know about this project for 2010 or any previous years, but I’m in for 2011! The concept is that you post one photo taken every day of the entire year. I’m rarely very far from my camera anyway, so this is right up my alley. The participants of past projects have all…
Life happens, people move in, move out, move up, move along. It seems like over the past several years, some very wonderful people have moved in and then moved along. My life was touched in some important way that was evidently intended for the moment. The internet has made the world a much smaller place,…
It’s no secret that I’m not a blind follower of Steve Jobs and all things Apple. But the more I use Apple products, the more I find about them to like. Not love, but like. I seriously enjoy my iPhone, and my macbook and I get along remarkably well. I also enjoy my Windows and…
My garden is a teacher. I have become convinced that all of life’s lessons can be learned or understood in a garden. (Okay, some are learned on a baseball field too.) Most recently, we have been harvesting corn. God blessed our corn crop this year beyond our expectations. We pull it from the stalk, chop…
I just found Windows Live Writer on my computer. Okay, I don’t spend a lot of time on my computer for a self-proclaimed techie/geek. So this is really just a test to see how well it works. I entered the url of my blog and my credentials. Live Writer downloaded the theme and the blog….
It’s been a while since I put anything up here. I am so sorry. It was really bad manners to neglect my devoted readers. I live down here in the South, in the land of good manners. Children are taught at a very young age to address adults as “Ma’am” and “Sir.” Obviously that alone does not constitute…
As a certified (certifiable?) geek, I love tech toys. So it would stand to reason that when I heard on the radio of a liquidation sale to be held at the Pensacola Fair Grounds that would include closeouts on various technology goodies, I was ready to go. In my mind I was halfway there by the time…
…and by that I mean a RIGHT as an ENTITLEMENT, as opposed to a WRONG or a LEFT. I learned this in college, in an excellent class called Political Philosophy. As much as I would love to mention the professor’s name, I don’t have his permission to do so. One of the most memorable concepts…
