Ah, a headline like that is definitely what McCain’s campaign doesn’t need. What else can be said, though, after McCain’s own admission that he doesn’t know how to get online yet? I admit I telecommute so spend more time on a computer than a lot of people. I have had a web site since the… Continue reading John McCain and the 21st Century
While it seems that the cover of the July 21 edition of The New Yorker is causing quite a stir, I think that it will unfortunately overshadow the article about Barack Obama’s political beginnings. While reading the online fifteen pages, I am drawn to the fact that Obama has played in the dirt of Chicago politics. I… Continue reading The New Yorker Cover
I posted, a few days ago, my first attempt at making charms out of dice. I was not happy with the way they came out at all. What I did not realize, but Trish took the time to explain to me, is that the wire on most pieces that I was envisioning was not one… Continue reading Las Vegas Inspired Charms

This month’s charm swap and challenge for Latest Trends in Mixed Media has a Las Vegas theme. I have had several ideas come into my head since signing up but one keeps coming back to me. It involves a full-sized die in a wire cage. I was sure this would be it when I came across… Continue reading Challenge and Charm Swap
The title of the article on Yahoo’s news page caught my attention because it advertised – because isn’t that what Yahoo! does – “Healthiest Foods Under $1.” Not only was I intrigued, I was wondering just what I was going to have to do to find these items as usually the things that are said… Continue reading Healthy Foods
As we all know, recovery time is sometimes the most important part of training. If I listen again to Dara Torres, she will say that at 41 and a well-trained athlete, her body does not recover as quickly as it did when she was younger. Well, at 46 and many months, my body does not… Continue reading Recovery Time
While I truly believe that anyone with the stamina to do so could get fit and swim well with the advantages offered that Dara Torres has (stretching coach?), I am always impressed when the average person takes his or her health seriously.
