That I sometimes wander. Not just my mind, but my entire universe? “Off on a tangent,” my Mother used to say about my personality quirk. I actually looked that little word up the other day, after I went on one. I sometimes wonder how these side trips happen to me, but not for very long. …

Is Anything Done?
Papa and I had a wonderful time at M-in-L’s home “up North” over the weekend. We ate a little cake, and visited. We had a brief visit with S-Dad, and continued on toward home. Since we were in the neighborhood, and hungry, we ate at Zenders something we rarely do. It was nice to sit …

Upgrade Blues
Well, this was supposed to be the last upgrade to WordPress I ‘d ever have to do by hand. I just noticed that a BUNCH of my photos are no longer attached to their posts. CRAP. Give me time, I figure it out. In the meantime, please contact me from the link, or by a …

More Plain English
Here’s another of Common Craft’s wonderful Videos. This one, Social Media in Plain English, is a pretty good take on something that can be very hard to explain. Those who have been using the web in this way for a while came to understand this without an explanation. The rest of you can watch and …

Plain English
Remember Common Craft? Here’s another of there wonderful films; this time about blogs. I guess those of us that have internet, and poke around a little had this canned. I wish there were a way to get all the interested, yet uninformed, people out there to check this out. I don’t have a cute tagtline …

The interesting thing is; the company has several videos available to help people like me, that need a simple explanation to understand how certain things …

It Doesn’t Take Much to Entertain Us
I was at Google Maps calculating the time it will take us to drive over to meet D2 tomorrow and retrieve our three young grandchildren, when I noticed that Google has a “Walking Directions” function. Beta, of course. We noted the time that it would take to “walk it”, 1 day, 6 hours, and it …

Finish Something
Yesterday, while Papa worked, I actually finished something. Not easy, but in keeping with my March resolution to waste less time, I really buckled down. In the course of visits to various libraries, cemeteries, and archives, I’ve managed to assemble a ton of material which is floating around my computer in digital format. There are …

Back at It
Yesterday, was looking over the logs for my sites and I noticed the contact form wasn’t working. Don’t know for how long, don’t know why. Frustrating. Anyhow, I just went through the all the WarrenWeb family sites, and fixed all the problems. At least all of them I found. If you used to have a …

Wii
So we went to Costco the other day, to get some weed and feed for the grass. I try to go there as little as possible, there are too many “things” in that store. Waiting for us right inside the door was this. It jumped in the cart. We started looking at new laptops, but (some) sanity prevailed. We …
