I try to say this with as much sarcasm in my typing as I can but have yet to find the smiley for sarcasm. I work online for a company that has a family of web sites that deal with politics. Last Thursday started a mess that is finally just now ending. We were hacked.… Continue reading Technology is a Wonderful Thing
What a day! First off, we got a slightly late start but did go to breakfast at Elise’s favorite dinner on Military Rd in Niagara Falls. After quite a bit to eat at Augie’s, we headed to Lewiston. I have only been to Lewiston once before. I came up when Elise was being inducted into… Continue reading Road Trip #3, Day 2
Road trip number three is under way. I am typing in a hotel room on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Niagara Falls, New York. My youngest son and I left home yesterday about 10:30 after a mad day Thursday of cleaning and baking – of which the baking carried over into Friday morning. You see, it… Continue reading Road Trip #3

Okay, I work in the political arena. I have heard the stories of opponents registering the other candidate’s name as a website domain. I have heard stories of opponents looking for dirt on other candidates. Today, I saw the proof in the pudding. A website had been wiped out. Seems, according to the candidate, a… Continue reading Politics – The Ugly Side
While the weather has not yet shown to be true autumn weather – the forecast people say that is coming this week, the smells as I was out this morning are definitely fall. In the thick fog, you can smell the testing of the wood stove. The smell hangs fragrantly in the air, even overpowering… Continue reading The Smells of Fall
