Stuff for a Sunday!
Some links before we head out to brunch in Manhattan, as people do! (I am so going to miss this city…but more on that another time!) :: A couple of Star Wars links first. Here’s an interesting interview with Lawrence … Continue reading
Thankfulness (Something for Thursday — Thanksgiving edition)
Wow…hard to believe it’s been a year since the last time I was thankful! There seems to be so much ugliness in the world right now, but I wonder if that’s not always the case…it comes and goes. But the … Continue reading

Bad Joke Friday!
A panda walks into a bar and says, “I’ll have a rum… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …and coke, please.” The bartender says, “OK, but why the big pause?” … Continue reading
Something for Thursday
