- I'm in awe. Crisp air, bright sunshine, swirling leaves of yellow, and faeries celebrating another healthy harvest. No, I'm not hallucinating. Today, I stopped by the local Applefest looking for candy apples, maybe a pie or two, instead I found myself in a profound moment, the kind that brings tears to the eyes. I'd seen the scratchy films of Isadora Duncan's performances many times, but never a ...

- Throughout her prolonged adolescence the puppy has consistently maintained an elevated opinion of herself. I make the mistake of reading my recent blog to her and she picks up on my critique of her non-show-worthy physical attributes.

- Isn't there is a song with those lyrics? I just had my 3rd ballroom dancing lesson today and I have to say, I am really liking it. For 45 minutes, the world goes away and in this economy, that can be a very good thing. One simply can't spend 24/7 worrying or menopausing and stay healthy.
