Good news, everyone: I’m going to live forever! At least that’s the conclusion you might draw if you examined my behavior. I’m forever putting off the important stuff by occupying myself with the trivialities of life. Why pursue priorities when there are dishes to be washed and mail to be sorted? Now I’ll grant you that neither …[MORE] One of my Facebook buddies recently recommended a poetry video and I thought, “Sounds good,” then I kept on reading and never checked the link. Later, in another blog, I found another recommendation for the very same reading. This time I clicked. Take my word for it: don’t keep reading. Click on this powerful performance by [now deceased] …[MORE] I’ve been on a decluttering campaign around my house. It’s been a relatively easy task when focused on closets, cabinets and drawers. It gets difficult, though, when it comes to the bookshelves. I’ve determined to weed out my book collection. I really do have far too many books and they are just gathering dust.

I don’t just mean I enjoy their shade or the cool breezes they send my way. I mean that …[MORE] As I said previously, I recently switched from a satellite dish to digital television. Once the transition was complete, I called the satellite service to cancel my two-year-old subscription. During that time I’ve paid every bill on time and in full, so I would consider myself a good customer. When I ordered the cancellation, the customer …[MORE] Are you considering a switch to digital television? Have you done so already? Are you as annoyed with the whole thing as some of the rest of us are? A few months ago, I switched my service to digital. I wasn’t even planning to do that, but some sweet little pixie knocked on my door and outlined a …[MORE] When I made a list of things I was thankful for in November, I failed to include living in Houston. I’ll admit that Houston summers can be brutal. The heat and humidity combine in a way that threatens to melt the human body into a puddle of fat, salt and sweat. I don’t like Houston …[MORE] |
