Bonus Blog: Don't Drift Away, Invitation to MAINSTAY!
Friday, January 01, 2016 39 comments My Spark Page lists 173 friends currently (I've edited from time to time since 2011, but remove people only when they are clearly gone permanently. Often not even then). And yup, I'm quick to add friends, of my own initiative or if anyone asks... Read more

SPT Webinar, The Badly Behaving Brain
Thursday, December 31, 2015 28 comments Oh my oh my oh my. (And yes this is long: feel free to skip it: it's just me thinking aloud as usual!! Figuring out what I think by seeing what I say . . . ) I watched last night's Webinar: SPT on the topic of "The badly behaving brain". ... Read more
SPT Video # 4: Boot Camp Hard Sell?
Wednesday, December 30, 2015 30 comments OK then, I think Susan Peirce Thompson is very generous with respect to the free info in her first three videos. And all of the free info on her website too. But Video #4 is I think new: it references current time with bootcamp launching J... Read more

New Wallpaper
Saturday, December 26, 2015 29 comments That's a watermellen lapel pin -- on the pocket of a red quilted jacket. Most of my sparkly stuff disappeared with the break-in last July: but they missed this one! (Still on the jacket . . . ). Hope everyone who celebrates had an e... Read more

Slouching Towards Bethlehem
Tuesday, December 22, 2015 28 comments Nope, although she borrowed the title, it's not the collection of essays by Joan Didion which is on my mind. In the run-up to Christmas, it's the original 1919 poem by Yeats I'm thinking about. Year after year, no matter what our circums... Read more

Monday, December 21, 2015 22 comments Yesterday we finally got a few strings of outside lights up -- and our Christmas tree: a balsam fir, smaller than usual but still very pretty and smells lovely of course. The Christmas ceramic village is on the mantel too. And most of the... Read more
All My Yesterdays: Will I Respect Myself in the Morning???
Sunday, December 20, 2015 21 comments Or instead face that "walk of shame" . . . to the scale! Weighed in yesterday at the gym (on the proper balance beam scale) and I'm doing OK. Not brilliant but within my acceptable "range". And I ate better yesterday: not at the top... Read more

Not Yesterday: Today FOR SURE
Friday, December 18, 2015 21 comments Gahhhh, another busy busy day yesterday with one of those work/social thingies which I'd completely forgotten about popping up in my calendar at the end of the day, speeches droning on until after 9 pm. And a sit-down dinner thingy too. ...
