Yesterday, on Facebook, I announced that I would not be on social media or writing on this site for a few weeks due to health problems. But I should have also posted something here, on my website, because I have more readers than friends on Facebook. I will not elaborate on the nature of my… Continue reading Update from Danny

My Family’s Early Years on Video
In 2001, several months after my dad’s passing, I had a VHS tape made up of the many super 8 mm film reels that my parents took of our family during the 1956-64 era. Yesterday, I had the tape converted to a digital file, and I am watching the video as I write this short… Continue reading My Family’s Early Years on Video
A September Surprise
Many of the people I have known and loved over the years were born or died in September. But September 13th is an extraordinary day – because the girl I was married to for over 40 years was born on this day. Happy birthday, Annette! Yes, we are still friends – but more like brother… Continue reading A September Surprise
Someday
Yesterday was definitely on my list of the worst POETS day ever, but then again, some days are like that. I got up on the wrong side of the bed, I guess. But is there ever a right side? I got a registered letter from the insurance company that I have been dealing with since… Continue reading Someday
Three Shiny Marbles
This morning, while listening to an audiobook by Anita Moorjani, I took a break and did a tour of one of my favorite Facebook Groups (Empath Wellbeing Protocol) and read a comment about three red marbles by Brad Parker that brought tears to my eyes. Here is what Brad wrote: I was at the corner… Continue reading Three Shiny Marbles
Little White Lies
The Oxford Dictionary defines a ‘white lie’ as: a harmless or trivial lie, especially one told to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. “when I was young, I told little white lies“ Although my stories are all based on the truth, some require a little white lie(s) to avoid embarrassing or hurting another person’s feelings. And sometimes, that… Continue reading Little White Lies
Dream Catcher
On April 20, 2021, I decided to find another dream to chase at Tiffany’s store in Vancouver. Readers of this site may recall my My Holly Golightly and Audrey Hepburn story, which I wrote in 2008 and later updated in 2012. It might surprise you to learn that I have continued to dream about Audrey… Continue reading Dream Catcher
Because
One of my favorite oldies is the song Because, by the Dave Clark Five. But this post is not about that song or band (although I added the song to today’s post). I was getting ready to watch the Blue Jays game today and had just got home from picking Holly up from the groomers. … Continue reading Because
UFOs, UAPs, and Heat
If you have been following the recent media coverage of the reported sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), you are probably puzzled by how widespread the reports are. There were even reported sightings in Oshawa, Ontario and Bedford, Nova Scotia! Although I have not researched the topic, I do have several observations on the subject.… Continue reading UFOs, UAPs, and Heat
Just a Few Quickies
Well, Holly’s health issues continue to increase, and the latest lab report indicates problems with her thyroid and kidneys. The vet indicated she will now require meds for these ailments and the Cushing Disease that she has had for over a year. And to make matters worse, her diarrhea is back – both yesterday and… Continue reading Just a Few Quickies
