I’m still single because I’m not married

There are people who like to say that people “my age” (meaning “older than 23 at the most”) are single “for a reason.” They never specify what the reason is though.
For men it is implied that the reason is not a good one, that there is something definitely wrong with him or he would’ve managed [...]

Folklore and Phone Books

I read this story earlier, and the folklorist in me just had to comment on it. The Book of the Undead: Why Won’t Phone Books Die?
The article talks about how phone books have outlived their usefulness. Any more people can look up the information they want on the computer, or even on their phone. Yet [...]

Can I get a Time Turner over here?

I’m really interested to see how my class schedule is going to work this Fall. Registration is open now, so I thought I’d take a look at the classes that are being offered and when. There are six classes that I would like to take, that would be interesting to me, that would be good [...]

A Beautiful Easter Morn’

I started the day by driving to the edge of town to watch the sunrise. I think I’m ready for a nap now. Someone, a few years ago, said that watching the sunrise was an Easter tradition they had. I liked it. I would rather have that tradition than egg hunts. At least the sunrise [...]

Not My Type

Some say that it is being picky to have a list of things that you will not accept in a potential mate. But really, would you want any of these things on your list?
Every time there is a story on the news about some relationship gone very bad, I add that to my list. The [...]

Clean and Beautiful

I have found that I feel more alert and even more beautiful when my house is clean. This morning I had not gotten dressed or showered or done more with my hair than pull it back in a pony tail. But I took out the trash, did the dishes, cleaned the kitchen and straightened the [...]

Caught in the middle

I’ve seen this on a few other blogs and thought I’d give it a go. But I added the stuff at the end because I thought it should extend equally in both directions. I have this thing with balance and palindromes and such.
20 years ago: 17 March 1988. We’d moved to Santa Fe the summer [...]

Que comida boa!

I think I’m just a little too excited about this. But they are opening a Tucanos in Salt Lake this April. If you register on the website they’ll give you a $10 gift card to use within 8 weeks of them opening. And I will be in Salt Lake within 8 weeks of them opening. [...]

Sunlight

Tomorrow is when the majority of the United States will change the time on their clocks to be one hour ahead of what they say right now. It’s called Daylight Saving, because you save the daylight for after work rather than before so you can enjoy it more during the summer.
Every year there are people [...]

March Fo(u)rth!!

Today is the perfect day for a parade. So this thread will be my parade. Please make a comment on what you will be contributing as part of my parade.
I’ve been in parades with marching bands before. But I don’t think I want to do that for today’s parade.
For my parade today I want to [...]
