It’s cold outside. Well, cold for Maryland. Yesterday there was a lot of wind as well, but today it’s just a calm, cold, cold, day. I miss the seasons. I grew up in Maine in a small town called Mexico. Yeah, I know. It’s on the famous Maine sign at the Tourist Information Center just […]

A recent study, announced in BBC News, says that scientists have evidence that happiness is infectious.

Once more, I made it through the beginning of the month rush to get the zines up and live on the first. Stayed up very, very, very late last night to get the last reviews in. My fault being late and rushed since I hadn’t figured in just how behind having a holiday in the […]
Here in the United States it’s Thanksgiving Day. This is a day to gives thanks for all the wonders and joys in our lives. Families get together and spend time together, though if you watch the commercials you’d believe it’s to watch football and not talk and then to finish it all up by shopping. […]
