It is a typical mid winter day minus the snow. The sun has been taking time off so the days are the kind where you feel like you want to stay in bed. For most of us, that is just not practical. However, if you do get a day where you don’t have to get [...]

Years ago, my husband and I lived in Portland, Oregon while he attended Portland State University. While we were there we used mass transit.

Holiday Hell

Well, we had Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. I think the advent calendar is slowly being replaced by marketing tactics of big companies. Shall we continue through to Christmas with a cavalcade of ridiculous names for the days of the week for the next four weeks? Tomorrow can be, oh, I don’t [...]
