Live imperfectly, with great delight.
To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions.

All suited up and ready to ride
What’s the perfect outing for someone who has a mild anxiety about heights? Zip lining of course.
My friend Shirley decided she was going to celebrate her 70-somethingth birthday with something new and exciting. She sent out the zip lining adventure invitation to all of her [...]
Didn't have a picture of a washer so I'm using a picture of my cat
If you’re a regular reader of my irregular ramblings you will remember the washing machine repairs undertaken last December. If not, you can read about it here. As predicted, the problem resurfaced just a few days ago.
The [...]
Midnight Mind Chatter
The TV game show Jeopardy is advertising the latest on-line test to become a contestant. It’s coming up on March 28. My husband has been urging me to register and I’ve been “forgetting”. Last night I figured out why.
It’s not that I was concerned about failing the test. It’s [...]
Not so tiny
Not quite “Build it and they will come” but the best I can do on this Saturday morning.
If you read back in my posts you’ll encounter a number of articles about play and at least one where I express my ambition to speak and teach on the subject. That [...]

The latest story from Diane:
“So I go to play a local course late one afternoon. I’d be lucky if I could finish nine. This kind faced older gentleman comes over to me with this great big smile, puts his hand on my shoulder and says to whoever is in ear shot. ” This [...]
Hands full in South Beach
I’m spending this week in Miami – lucky me. The photo was taken in South Beach – just as glamorous as it is on TV. The drinks are three times as big as they appear in the photo. Enough to fill large to go containers [...]
Nashville to Sheboygan Falls
I arrived in Nashville Fri before last. Spent the night and drove to Atlanta to see my friend Gwen’s granddaughter who’s attending medical school there.
My traveling buddies flew home on Monday and I had Tuesday to prepare to fly to Wisconsin.
I love it here in Wisconsin. Last year [...]
Today’s report from the road came in shortly before 1:00pm this afternoon. Our travelers left Hot Springs AK, drove through Memphis TN and headed for Tunica MS.
Why Tunica you might ask? Apparently Tunica’s claims to fame are the casinos. Huge casinos. Huge casinos out in the middle of the cotton and soy bean [...]
After the beautiful sunset in Santa Fe, NM our intrepid travelers made a mad dash across Texas and Oklahoma and pulled into Hot Springs Arkansas about mid-day on Tuesday. There they had lunch, checked into a hotel and started taking advantage of the local amenities; mineral baths and massage.
When Diane phoned in her [...]
