  • I've now seen the History channel program about the Roanoke diggings, and it's really interesting. Nothing conclusive about the DNA, though. But that seems to be what always happens when we count on DNA to tell us some…

  • Wow, it's the 20th already! That means there's a program on the History Channel tonight, called Digging for the Truth: Roanoke, the Lost Colony. We've been waiting for this for a long time. Roanoke was that colony that…

  • Nothing much going on today. The shots are done, and I feel pretty frisky, but still not doing anything really active. Got a good book to read called THE ALIENIST. Interesting title. It's not what it sounds like--seem…

  • Well, I somehow didn't get any chocolate yesterday, but I did get strawberries for lunch, and flowers and cards and cookies, and a very long, revivifying drink, and got served my meals in bed, so it was a pretty good cel…

  • Oh, how could I forget!!!! A VERY HAPPY AND ROMANTIC VALENTINE'S DAY TO YOU ALL TOMORROW! I hope all your most lovely dreams come true! And Chocolate, LOTS OF CHOCOLATE FOR EVERYONE!!!

  • Happy Hump Day, as our news people like to call it. Tomorrow, Thursday will be referred to as Friday Eve. I'm in sympathy with them, because they're trying to talk like they don't like their jobs, but of course, they m…

  • Sorry, Seahawk fans! Maybe next year will be better! It was 65 degrees yesterday in Caldwell, a few miles from here (Lake Woebegone, my home town, so to speak), but I don't think it got over 45 here today. Well, I …

  • Not wishing to be negative, but you can probably guess that I won't be joining in the Super Bowl hype tomorrow. In fact, I had to get the grandkids to bring me a book today, so I'll have something to do tomorrow. Kind …

  • I've been indulging in my favorite vice tonight--watching DANCING WITH THE STARS. It was a hard choice between that and EARL, so I had to switch back and forth some. I can't believe what the dancing people have been ab…
