Fired Up
Just found out about the new Kindle Fire due to launch in November and, as Kindle user and lover for the last two years, I’m all fired up about this nifty new product. And it’s affordable. Love that it is Kindle-sized – don’t understand why anyone wants to tote around a tablet or iPad that
Miracle Days Continue
The horses are both back home now, happy to be in their own “beds” again. Randy came back the day after the accident. The other horse came back after a week of clinic care. They bonded so much that Marc has put them in adjoining stalls to keep each other company. They both can go
Miracle Day Part Three
The California Highway Patrol, they are the best! Within minutes after the accident, they have arrived and blocked the lanes around the accident with cars and cones and are out checking on everyone. There are at least four or five and they are all checking out the people and horses to make sure everyone is
Miracle Day Part Two

Friday the 13th – Lucky Time
5/13/11 – Happy Friday the 13th to you! I’ve long considered Friday the 13th to be lucky times for me and only wish that there were more of them. In general, good things have happened for me on those days and at worst, they’ve been just normal. Not to be too woo woo, but I do
About
Road Kill Seasons: Explorations of the perception of Time, Space, Being and Silliness. Ten years ago I was living along the Russian River in Sonoma County California and commuting five days a week to my office in Berkeley, CA – the 3-5 hour daily commute was in itself enough to challenge my perception of time,
Commencement Time
5/12/11: For my first post, “Commencement Time” seems like an appropriate place to start. I have thought about this blog for the last few years and had the blog sitting here ready for a first post since December 2009. Procrastination, fear, distraction, avoidance, out of sight out of mind, the desire to have it be
