I probably don’t need to spend more time browsing, but it’s nice to have the option of checking out what’s listed and maybe [...]

Favorite Things…

Three specific for today, but that work for me any day: Watch Mad Men DVDs. Just rewatched the pilot episode and creator commentary. My, how far we’ve come since 2007! Fun to watch from all I’ve learned in the past four seasons. I’m going to keep going until I get to the end of season [...]

Favorite things…summer edition…

I had a holiday themed edition, a music edition, and today, a summer edition. I still have to figure out how I’m going to organize my Faves page (summer laziness?!), but for now, this’ll go on there, too… Lightning bugs just after dusk The reawakening of the annual summer cicada in the tree outside my kitchen [...]
