Yesterday, it finally felt like winter. With mittens and a scarf, and my cloche hat with plucked robin’s feather, I saw my breath for the first time, under gray, grizzled skies, and the whitewash of incoming clouds.

Ah, it’s that time of the year again. Hot chocolate, slippers, long johns, and everything splashed in colors of red and green, Christmas has started to appear on street corners, in the form of ear muffs and mittens, houses aglow in stringed bright lights – the colored ones preferably – and downtown candycane decorations.

Scene: Siskiyou Wilderness – Night A somber fog hushes the woods. A fog so thick it’s palpable, able to be indented, as it undulates, clinging to the craggy faces of rocky outcrops and the splintered shell of an antique, befallen stump.

The sun is warm, the heat is on, and it finally feels like summer. Moms everywhere are finally able to lay back in their chaises, sipping iced tea, as their stir crazy children romp in the 80 degree weather, getting grass cuts on their knees instead of rug burns on their elbows.

I love this app. I simply love it. In my article Ten Time and Money Saving Apps That Cost Nothing, I wrote that while Audiobooks will never replace for carnal lovers that rough thumbing through of pages, Classics by Andrew Kazmierski & Phillip Ryu sure gets close to it.

A plethora of iPhone apps are currently awash the Internet seas. With so many to download and tinker with, it’s oftentimes difficult to choose which applications offer the best of the bunch.

I believe the first words out of many a child’s mouth are “GIMME GIMME GIMME!” Not much has changed since entering adulthood – we still need, want and seek many things, often without any foresight as to how to get there or how to get it. We have our basic needs that must be fulfilled, ... Read More
