I mentioned to Rose that I was thinking about changing my child theme, to change the look and feel to something less boxy, more flowing. I showed her two StudioPress child themes called “beautiful”, and “lifestyle”. She liked them both. I then showed her the current website, to re-familiarize her with how it currently looks. […]

Give away: free older iPad
I have a used 3rd generation iPad that hasn’t seen use for a couple of years. I’ve decided to give it away (free). This is not an iPad Air, so, it’s a bit heavier than the newer versions. In order to make this fair, I’ve chosen a number in the range of 1 to 10,000. […]
Afternoon with a former colleague
Had a great day yesterday! A former USPS colleague and I met for lunch and a movie. She and I worked together for about a year or two, before she retired. We’ve always talked about getting together for lunch or whatever, but “never got around to it”. She enjoys some of the same things as […]
Hotel rates & upcoming trip to Appleton, WI
I must be the cheapest new (contract) employee around. My recruiter shared with me the name of a hotel in Appleton, WI, that Thrivent recommends.

Of course there was a sticking point, which we then worked out without further issue. She then called back (a couple of hours later) letting me know the […]
Parmesan Cheese
Went to the grocery store last night. Picked up a few pasta items (ravioli, lasagna, and tortellini), and some pasta sauce. Knew I needed some Parmesan cheese. Got some salad. Got a loaf of Italian (French?) bread. Got feta and blue cheese crumbs (for the salads) Forgot the Parmesan cheese. Argh. I.cannot.live.without.my.parmesan.cheese. (i didn’t forget […]
World Music
Well, I can tell this is going to be a very good day. I just shared a post of Asian (Chinese Lute) music and now here is a wonderful music video of toe-tapping Hispanic music. I have to admit, I liked this a bit better, because the video aspect captured my visual interest (in addition […]
