The sounds that go with me

Posted on April 27, 2008.

If you’re at all like me, you have sounds playing in your head all the time. I have little tunes that accompany me wherever I go, and which change depending upon my activity. Did you know that if you walk down the street humming your personal sound, it protects you from [...]

Garden Post: the one about my favorite book of all time.

Posted on April 25, 2008.

I’ve participated in a few book memes, and most of them ask for lists of favorite books in categories. I’ve never allowed the book I’m going to discuss here to be on any of those lists, because it’s so special it deserves a post of its own. The book is about spring, rebirth, [...]

I can punctuate however I want. to.

Posted on April 21, 2008.

I’m having an attack of typoitis. One of my few remaining faults (I only have four, now ) is persnicketiness. Many books and articles these days leave the editing process with a lot of incorrect word usage. Everything is spelled correctly because it’s been through a spell checker, but as we [...]

Do you even WANT to know five things about me?…

Posted on April 16, 2008.

…let alone 5 x 5? This one’s called “Fluff Five”, and I’ll just state, unequivocally, and for the record, that my blog is NOT fluffy! I think the meme is inappropriately named, however, as the answers sought are quite insightful. I love a good meme, unlike some poor souls that get [...]

Parrot Biker spotted on Campbell Avenue

Posted on April 14, 2008.

I’m not kidding about this. The human driver had WWI aviator glasses, a cigar in his mouth, a vest, safari pants, a kerosene lantern slung about his waist, spats or gaiters, and clinging to his back…a full sized parrot! I’ve experienced a lot of interesting people during my time on this wonderful and weird [...]

The gratitude dance

Posted on April 11, 2008.

The most remarkable people have come through southern Arizona recently on their way across the universe. I’ve had such an amazing and busy week doing administrative work involving the 8th biennial Consciousness Conference at the University of Arizona, and also with speaking engagements and social events involving leaders from the [...]

Have you seen the elephant?

Posted on April 5, 2008.

Perhaps, as I did, you received an email about an elephant from Thailand who paints pictures. Perhaps, as well, you were a bit skeptical at first. (I, in fact, received the email on April Fool’s Day, the same day I heard a radio broadcast about a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex having been sighted [...]

Two kinds of people

Posted on April 2, 2008.

There are many sayings that start out with the words: “There are two kinds of people in the world,” and go on to say, usually “Those who -X-, and those who -Y-”. (”X” and “Y” stand for any two contrasting characteristics).
A lot of these are meant to be humorous. For [...]
