- I've already written in a poem about saying goodbye, so I am not sure this momentary pause in thought, matters in respect of the RedRoom weekly theme request. It counts for me, as this past week I lost a part of me. I lost the bedrock of my life in enforced exile. As the theme has been about saying goodbye; the emotional punctuation of a life ending is vast and consuming, as much as it is ...

- It is not much for its beauty that makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanates from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit." Robert Louis Stevenson To be honest, to be kind, To earn a little, to spend a little less, To make upon the whole a family happier for his presence, To renounce ...

- Guess what? Are you sitting down? With all the excitement about my recent accolades, I forgot to mention the most important news of all. My book, "Cryo Kid -- Drawing a New Map" (www.cryokid.com) is written in part about the discovery of eight half-siblings (scattered across the U.S.) for my grandchild, who was conceived with the help of an anonymous sperm donor. Now it turns out that ...

- I found myself today falling into an abyss. I was falling into an abyss of moping. It is surprisingly very easy to do and after 8 or more hours of moping and feeling sorry for one's self, I just couldn't stand it anymore and decided to stop moping. Yes, these are all decisions I came upon all on my own. If I have learned anything about myself over the years is that I do choose these actions ...

- So the second installment in my flickr photo series of decoding the word 'princess' begins with a cruise ship. I'm a little perplexed at how to analyze this one because I am not quite sure what a cruise ship represents. The ideas of fun, pleasure, escape come to mind. Which I find are actually pretty 'fun' words to describe a princess. Most princesses I know, including myself, want to be ...

- Upon my flickr search for some interesting princess photos, one of the many that came up were pictures much like this one of cows. Cows?Now I realize that I really don't know anything about what these cows are about or the reasons for why they are posted. I just thought it was interesting that page after page of these cows came up when I searched! It also got me thinking about reasons for why ...

- I began a photo search on flickr today to find some interesting graphics to add to my blog that would describe the thoughts and feelings I had on "what makes a princess". What I found was indeed interesting, but in some regards so very disappointing. There were several common images that came up in my search and I am struggling to come up with a word to summarize them, but the ...

- The barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) has extremely light-sensitive eyes that can rotate within a transparent, fluid-filled shield on its head. In this image, although the barreleye is facing downward, its eyes are still looking straight up. This barreleye is about 6 inches (14 cm) long. The fish's tubular eyes, well inside the head, are capped by bright green lenses. The eyes point upward (as ...
