Music of My Life – China Grove
Saturday , 31, March 2018 Music, Music of My Life, Travel Comments Off on Music of My Life – China GroveOn the same Saturday a couple of weeks ago that I visited The Alamo and the River Walk in San Antonio, I also took the opportunity to visit a place that has been on my “bucket list” since 1973 when I first heard about it through the hit song of the same name, “China Grove”, […]
On the same Saturday a couple of weeks ago that I visited the Alamo in San Antonio, I also took an opportunity to visit the River Walk in San Antonio and enjoy lunch on the river. Leaving the Alamo, San Antonio’s River Walk is about a half mile walk away. Well, I should clarify that; […]
Last Thursday, March 22nd, was World Water Day 2018. I missed posting about it then, but I don’t want to wait a year until the next one, so here are a few things I have to say about World Water Day 2018. It’s hard sometimes for us to imagine water as something we need to […]
A couple of Saturday’s ago I took the day to travel to San Antonio, Texas to visit and remember the Alamo. I had been planning to visit the Alamo since I first arrived in Texas back in August of 2017, but work schedules or weather or other events kept pushing back my plans. And, in […]
Earlier this month I “lost” my Bluetooth earpiece, a little technology item that I use quite a bit.

I’ve tried to eat food from Sonic twice at two different locations and hated it both times. Now they’ve added a new food item that has no appeal to me whatsoever, as Sonic plans to sell pickle juice slushes beginning this summer. This is NOT a joke! See one of the many articles about it […]
Yes, there really is a Panda Day, celebrated on this day. However, I’d like to take this opportunity to say Happy Panda Day to MY Panda, my granddaughter Heather who has been my Panda for many years!
Do you use elevators in the course of your normal day? If not, you may not know about elevator etiquette. Or even realize there is such a thing as elevator etiquette. I use elevators a lot, usually at whatever hotel I may be staying in while traveling because I always request that my room is […]
Albert Einstein Would Have Been 139 Today
Wednesday , 14, March 2018 Special Days Comments Off on Albert Einstein Would Have Been 139 TodayI’ve written often about the man who possessed probably the greatest scientific mind in the history of man, usually on his birthday. Albert Einstein would have been 139 years old today had he not passed away on April 18, 1955. In this post about Einstein, I mentioned (among other facts about the man) that my […]
It’s a math nerd’s favorite day of the year, Pi Day! So named because today’s date, 3/14, corresponds to the first 3 digits of the irrational and transcendental number known as Pi (the Greek symbol π ) which those same math nerds use to represent a constant. That constant is the ratio of the circumference […]
