Who can get through a day of the 2016 presidential campaign and not think of this?Here's part of how my mom did it in the late 1930s and the 1940s. I didn't know what she had in mind when she raised us as if there was no such thing as boys' work or…Continue

Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been. -- The Grateful Dead, "Truckin'" And that "long, strange trip" has gotten positively rocky, particularly in the last 40 years, under the influence of Reagan, both Bushes, and of course,…Continue

Nice Comment
Not available, but yes, marvelous actor.
Who here has seen Big Trouble in Little China? Or maybe Blade Runner or that ONE episode of Seinfeld? What all the above elements (and a LOT more!) have in common is James Hong, a Chinese-American actor who is still going strong ... at 92!!! CBS Sunday Morning did a really good profile of Mr. Hong this morning, and I thought it was worth sharing. Enjoy!
That's a new one for me, Joan. You don't need one. You're one of the most positive people I know. It's good to hear that you had a happy day. You treasure your family and they treasure you.
Good to hear that you still go on with family, fun and interest in life, Joan!
As my eyesight grew dimmer, I found it harder to read print material, even after I enlarged it. Two very interesting surgeries later, I had cataracts removed from both eyes and replaced by new lenses that give me clear and sharp vision for relatively near and far vision. I won't have to have new glasses for the rest of my life, and I can clean the lenses by blinking my eyelids.
The process was virtually painless, from beginning through to this day. I asked the surgeon to give my usual request of surgeons for an ophthorectomy and he said, "oh! No! You don't need one!" Obviously, he had heard that joke before.
"Ophthorectomy, to sever the nerve going between the eyeballs and rectum so I wouldn't have such a shitty outlook on life!"
Thanks, Stephen & Chris B, for your birthday greetings.
I had a very quiet but happy birthday with a lemon chiffon pie and one candle to blow out! Perhaps Laura didn’t think I had the wind to blow out 86 candles! I know I didn’t have the energy!
Late again! I hope you had a nice birthday and a fine start of your new year, Joan!
And liberating too!
