January 12, 2011 – Doctor’s make mistakes
“He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.” Aeschylus The comment I didn’t send to the Huffington Post I just finished watching the Brian […]
MoreWeekly Photo Challenge: Geometry
I started to think about what “geometry” is. Lets stretch out those ol’creative muscles. We are talking about, well more or less, “depth of field”. So Geometry is an “area of mathematics that deals with points, lines, shapes and space” by “deduction of the properties”. It concerns “the relationships of points in space” and it […]

A WORD A WEEK CHALLENGE: MOTHER
Maybe I’m stretching this challenge, but my first thought was more what “Mother” can mean. In this photo, taken this last August, I learned that Male Cardinals feed their young. I never once saw the female; it was always him with the 2 fledglings. Tim actually built this deck feeder for me. I love the […]
MoreDecember 21, 2010 – My Irish Rover & Me

MoreDec 19 2010 – Then & Now

MoreOctober 2010 ~ going home & back again
[Oct 19, 2010] Beginning again I guess. Very appropriate I’m starting up in this journal. Lots happened since I started this. Irish Lake is a long way away from Catherine St. It’s hard to do this starting over thingy. I can’t believe I’m here. There have been so many tears the last couple weeks. Too […]
More2001 ~ Later that same year
[late 2001] My Mom when I was little had a duo-tang she would write in. It had a red cover, the pages were yellowed. In it she wrote down all the things I did as I was growing up. The steps I took, the first birthday and the gifts I received as well as who gave […]
