She was my great aunt. She was married to Bill Hinton who owned a trucking business and who apparently made quite a lot of money because they had a huge house slightly outside of York, PA with a huge basement, a chord organ in the living room, a pottery studio, and most importantly, the pool!Continue reading “Remembering Aunt Catherine”

Mental Jukebox
You know how you sometimes get a song stuck in your head (“earworm”) for a day or so? Eventually they go away or get replaced by another. Except… For the last couple of months I’ve had three songs on shuffle in my head. That in itself is not out of the ordinary, but these particularContinue reading “Mental Jukebox”
Wuxtry! Wuxtry! Read All About it!
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

They are in the past and I generally don’t find myself getting wistful over memories (even though I do turn themContinue reading “It Ain’t What It Used To Be…”
Caught in the Web(page)
What are your favorite websites? Do I have favorite websites? There are those places I love to hate: Facebook is one of these, and how many of us are sorry we sold our souls (and posted all those photos we probably have no other access to now) to the great and powerful Zuck? Sidebar: yes,Continue reading “Caught in the Web(page)”
Hidden Secrets
What’s something most people don’t know about you? Is the title redundant? I mean, if they’re secrets, aren’t they necessarily hidden? And if they are revealed, they’re no longer hidden. Perhaps this is what happens when I write a blog post and formulate a title before that second cup of coffee. I think there areContinue reading “Hidden Secrets”
