Mi vida es un bolsillo lleno de arco iris.
My life is a pocketful of rainbows.

So, here I am...
***This blog was Established 2005***
And I am slowly reestablishing it.

I love English Lit! I have a fascination with puns, satire and tropes. I relish sharing the latest logic puzzle I've found. I advocate for education reform. I read Spanish much more fluently than I speak it. I know a lot of German. I dabble in SEVERAL languages .... including writing, history and knowledge of cultures. I am very interested in urban farming and self-sufficiency. Huge Douglas Adams, Roger Zelazny and Piers Anthony fan. I like reading Stephen King/Richard Bachman. I could spend hours with Terry Brooks and Shannara. T.S. Garp and I would get along famously. Avid Armchair Traveler ... especially Italy and Mongolia. Miicroadventures rock! I homeroast green coffee beans ... my fave are those from Chiapas, Mexico. I try new teas and those from Scotland make me smile. Friends and family are AWESOME!

I hope that something made you smile today!.

101 Things About Me

1. I should think we eat rather more brisket than the average family.
2. I would like to own an older dark gray or black Armani women's pant suit ... or both. It/they would be worn often!
3. I need to restart my Medusa collection.
4. I think that the Canada side of Niagara Falls is beautiful....much more beautiful than the American side.
5. I like to keep a travel log. All the discoveries (and the frustrations) go into whatever notebook I am keeping. This intensifies all enjoyment and makes me, eventually, laugh at frustrations. I do hate when it has to be done hurriedly (frustrating to look back through handwriting and not be able to see some of the painting titles I wanted to from museums). I take more photographs than anyone I know.
6. Thing I need to replace: Pinky and the Brain comic of "Brainlet." We are all about the Shakespeare here! I've been known to celebrate, or at least nod at, Shakespaeare's birthday(April 23rd).
7. I've never been able to bring myself to like The Onion.
8. My favorite color is mustard yellow. I am very particular about the shades.I don't wear anything that color unless it has a Fall-ish tone to it!
9. A moment when I admired Jeb Bush ... Antonin Scalia had passed away that day and the Republicans were debating. Bush seemed to be the only person on the stage who was truly taking the moment of silence to reflect (and even seemed to be praying).
10. I play a mean/insane game of Munchkin. Funny moment ....the GM prohibited me from giving Husband "gifts." I don't usually win.....but I add a lot of humor/death to the game.
11. Spring is my favorite season.
12. I am pretty bad at pool. Pretty bad.
13. I don't like keeping things in pants pockets at all ... yet I complain if there aren't any pants pockets when needed.
14. I like bootlegged jeans and I wish slight bell bottoms were always in fashion. I've been made fun of for wearing bell bottoms when they were back in fashion.
15. I love Big Brother Hard Root Beer from Aldi.
16. I've been various degrees of Vegetarian.
17. Vincent Price's laughter is awesome.
18. We only use cast iron for skillets. I've gotten so used to this and I'm momentarily surprised when people are surprised at this.
19. I don't like raw green pepper. I only like cooked if it has been long simmered. I will eat it when served just fine. I feel I should like it since so many loved ones have enjoyed it so much ... but alas, no.
20. Mr Brown Can Moo! Can You?" is my favorite Dr. Seuss story.
21. I want to (safely) see a bear in Smokey Mountains National Park.
22. One of my favorite sounds is calliope music ... circus, steamboat, certain recorded ice cream truck music. I like music boxes that sound like this.
23. I am learning to hula via tutorials.
24. I have a vintage Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii tapestry.
25. I touchtype really fast. I can type faster than Isaac Asimov could ... and more accurately, too.
26. I like to burn German Chocolate and gardenia-scented candles...at the same time. People like it, once they get used to it.
27. Pet peeve: "Family-style" restaurants that make their living off serving the cheapest, improperly thawed frozen vegetables they can find and "just add water" products.
28. I refer to anything martini-related as "The Art of Shaken, Not Stirred." I like homemade martini vinaigrette dressing!
29.
