Scenes from the Past Few Days (part two)
Facebook has this nifty little feature in which it reminds you of something you have done in years past. I don’t know what it’s called–memories? remembers? Whatever. The point is that I kind of like it. I am a sucker … Continue reading

Brown-Eyed Girl
Like all of my posts, I start writing them in my head first. I sometimes fixate on a phrase. Sometimes it is a single word. I’ve rewritten whole paragraphs because I wanted to include a particular word and I was … Continue reading

From the Hidden Places
Every now and then, I find myself watching things on YouTube wondering how I got there and why I was spending any time there at all. Today, I watched someone open $100.00 worth of penny rolls. I get it. This … Continue reading

The Coin That Brought Nostalgia
I’ve got a random collection of coins from all over the world. They are poorly organized and not displayed in any fashion. These mostly came from students who proudly wanted to show off their country, or at the very least, … Continue reading

When My Memory Surprises Me
When I was a kid, watching afterschool TV with my sisters, we had an unwritten competition surrounding some of those classic TV shows. I am talking about the Brady Bunch or Gilligan’s Island or possibly My Three Sons. These shows … Continue reading

When Shopping At A Japanese Grocery Store
Once, a long time ago, I watched a Japanese TV program that was waxing nostalgic about Japanese summer treats. One of the things they mentioned was Monaka. If I remember correctly, the program was not really talking about the Monaka … Continue reading
Coffee Old School
If my coffee maker had died after it made my coffee yesterday morning, I could have then gone out and bought a new one (fixing the old one would be preferable, but it was beyond my skills). Since that is … Continue reading
