"Life is a banquet... and most poor suckers are starving to
death."

When I first came online, I used one of the glitzy services with color
and an easy-to-use format. One of the boards I discovered there was on the Time
Magazine service. And the man who was in charge of it was ill and soon thereafter
passed away. They set up a homepage as a tribute for him and I just had to
see it. So I borrowed an internet connection and saw the tribute page
for Tom Mandel.
Well, I was
I am a
Taiji instructor... and, of course, student. I also study
Yoga as
I find it great to correct whatever damage I have done to myself.
I chat a lot... some say too much!! I chat with people from all over the
world, and I like being able to see where they are located.
Also, when they are located in such diverse locations, it is easier
if one knows what
time of the day it is for them. They get quite irritated if you say
"Good morning!".... and for them, it is "Godaften!"
I am sure that everyone is quite tired of hearing me talk about
my cats, but
I am quite fond of them. I guess I just like
cats in general.
When I buy Lotto tickets, I never see the numbers and I am always having
to figure out if I have won the jackpot, so I find the
Texas Lottery homepage to be really helpful. To date... the jackpot
eludes me!!
As I watched cameras being installed on the freeway, I had nightmare
visions of Big Brother, but then I found out why they were installed.
So now, when I get ready to run errands, I check to see what
Houston traffic has in
store for me. Now, if it is summer, I don't need to consult with anyone
or check any link. I just KNOW it is going to be hot.... very hot.
But on occasion, it is good to know what
Houston weather has
in store. While I am driving around, the radio station that I listen
to the most is KRBE.
I tend to stand on soapboxes of one sort or another about some cause or
another, and I am always
boycotting someone.
I like shiny things.... especially gemstones. And the
Smithsonian
has a really nice collection. Personally, I find that the
Houston Museum of Natural
Science has a better collection, but they don't have as many pretty
pictures online.
I am an artist, and as I get better at this homepage stuff, I will
include more of my stuff, but for now I will
show you a few of the drawings
I have done.
Here is one of my favorite
poets.
I have planned to do a page on Alternative Medicine, but only
have the page on
Flower Essences right now. I think perhaps that I have too many
interests, anywhere from Brazilian Music
to
Astrology.
I will add to this as I go along. But I refuse to say that this is
under construction.... because after all, isn't everything!!
Ohhh.... for those of you who have been bugging me.... here
I am with Stella Kowalski.
And, for those of
of you in Texas... here is
The Texas List, the most do-nothing page on the net!
What is beyond the darkness?
Some say chaos and darker night.
I say SUNRISE!
