JF Day

I am told today is a monumental day for me. Although I already celebrated the event of today, a couple weeks back with good conversation and a bowl of popcorn, I feel that I should at least pass on a small bit of advice today. “Some things are just better… Read More »JF Day

Therefore, consider these statistics: Every journal entry falls into at least one of sixteen categories. This… Read More »Number 750

July

The Solace of Ordinary Humanity Although this picture is named for the following quote from the enigmatic John Ruskin: “Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity.” But the story of this flower is actually more akin to the Tennessee Williams quote: “The violets in the mountains have broken… Read More »July
