I Cry for Haiti

It’s breaking my heart. I watched a video report from Kati Couric that effectively reduced me to tears. I’d been watching videos and looking at pictures since this catastrophe happened, but there was something about that video that was just heart wrenching. The suffering is massive – seemingly more than the heart can bare. Those Read more...

Just another WordPress day

I have spent the better part of the past week going over features and techniques for WordPress and the theme Thesis. I like WordPress. I especially like Thesis. I’m putting together a couple of websites, and I started with Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver’s ok, although, honestly, I have not worked through all that it can do. So Read more...

I did it!

Is anybody out there?

I’m not a drinker persay, but…

I could become one. Ordinarily, I might have a fruity drink, with a dash of liquor,  maybe twice a year. No buzz, just a pretense of being grown-up when I’m out with friends. But lately…this job has me salivating for something stronger whenever I go out. I mean I want the real stuff – no Read more...
