Sparks From Over The Hill

I made up my mind years ago that I’d probably never own a new car. It’s not that I would mind flaunting its perks as I drive around, but the final answer for the math behind a new vehicle purchase is too impractical for my style, even if I could afford one.

The Whats and Whys of “Soy-ize”

I’ve had a box of tofu on the shelf for several weeks. I put off using it because Mark still remembers the time he tried it in a Japanese restaurant and thought it was weird – big on texture but small on flavor.

I’ll Blame The Media

When I take a good look at all the stuff I’ve accumulated at my house that I don’t really have room for – things I juggle around, work around, should clean around – I always think, “what could make me believe I needed these things?” Instead of examining my own weaknesses, I’m going to blame our media.

I’ve complained before about the way small appliances accumulate in my kitchen. Finding a home for them is tough.

A Box Of Perplexing Penguins

Flip. Waddle. Flop. Splash. I’d probably see black and white birds in my sleep. I stretched back to relieve my stiffness.

Doin’ The Disc-Case Shuffle

Our Christmas gifts told the tale. My daughters have outgrown toys. Now, they are caught up in the micro-packaged world of encapsulated entertainment.
