Alien Art
I love Friday’s. They are inherently magical. Yesterday was no different. It started off with Lisa wanting to get packages mailed to her sisters for Christmas. I really don’t mind driving into town to the Berthoud Post Office. I get along with the wonderful women behind the counter and usually take advantage of the captured […]
Two Nocturnal Females
The Moon is considered a feminine symbol. https://public.websites.umich.edu/~umfandsf/symbolismproject/symbolism.html/M/moon.html And Venus similarly shares that feminine energy. https://www.alchemessence.com/blog/venus-sacred-feminine?srsltid=AfmBOooHJOTrTX9liypS41a1auQj44YiU2rPNR3zuUFYggJw552-c2Lj So when they appear so closely in the night sky, a healthy male takes notice. But here on terra firma two other nocturnal females seemed completely at home wandering Casa Claire under the light of these feminine celestial bodies. […]
Guerilla Marketing 101 – Shamelessness
When your Horoscope closes with, “Put on your best face and get ready to say hello, because you’ve got people to meet and they are just dying to get to know you[,]” I, for one, may not take it literally, but I take it seriously. So, now that we are in full Christmas Shopping season, […]
Chairs – More Than A Place To Park Your Ass
When Lisa and I first moved to NoCo, we learned of websites like Nextdoor, and other places where people posted items for sale or free. I didn’t want to buy any furniture that was made of pressed wood and would not last. I wanted to buy items that had served other families, possibly for a […]
Enchanté (pron. “a(n) sha(n) tay”)
As AI , explains “[t]he French word enchanté has multiple definitions, including: I love that word, used it as often as I could that two week stretch in the summer of 2008, when Lisa and I experienced Paris in all its glory. Loved when I heard it back from any of the locals. Sounded so […]
Books For Christmas?
I’ve mentioned that when you write for a smaller independent publishing house, you cannot be shy. Indeed, you must constantly be shameless. You have to toot your own horn, loudly, if you are to stand any chance of rising above the cacophony of the very large chorus of other writers vying for the attention of […]
Share A Meal
Pete “Buck” Sheridan recently posted a video of McLean Avenue during Christmas season on FB: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1263935501378696 It brought back a lot of Bronx memories, including a lot of wonderful meals shared at the restaurants and diners along that stretch. It got me thinking about the importance of sharing meals, especially during holiday seasons. https://upmeals.com/eating-together-how-shared-meals-create-healthier-communities/#:~:text=Research%20has%20clearly%20shown%20that,benefit%20from%20more%20shared%20mealtimes.

I Hate Christmas Decorating
Snow was clearly blowing on The Three Witches, yesterday, which bode no good for this poor Druid. You see, Lisa decided that we would again put up Christmas decorations. With the younger family in Oz for the past two Winter holidays, I managed to talk Lisa into foregoing most of the decorating for two years […]
How To Have A First Thanksgiving Again
When you get to be my age, and have lived my life, first any things are hard to come by. So, after Georgie and Luke and the Grans returned from their two year Odyssey to and from Oz, the idea of them hosting the First Thanksgiving in Pilgrim fashion (G is British by birth-Aussie by […]
