Today the Best Dog Ever* turns eleven or as Lorne Green would calculate “that’s 80 for you and me” — depending on your calculation. I always went with human years * 7 plus 3. I math digress. Felix is older but not old. I adopted him in April 2016 from the Humane Society in Payson, […]
Based on true gardening events! Almost a year ago Hope was planted in the garden. Hope came in a bag of maybe 20 or 30 more equal sized seeds of Hopes. I imagine somewhere the place where Hope is growin in megasized amounts, truck loads, train loads, one after another, from somewhere not far but […]
(leaving as a placeholder for some AI generated excuses for not blogging). The draft has been in my head! Yes, with last weekend being Mother’s Day, celebrating was held here Saturday at home here that we call “Ursa Acres” or “Ursa” or just often “the universe.” There was home cooked food, family, flowers, and cards. […]
Oh the swirl of blog post ideas I have organized merely as swirls in my brain… will have to wait. My calendar reminded me that May 2 was the birthday of my Dad, Morris Lee Levine, born this day in Newark, New Jersey in 1928… WHAT A MINUTE. That’s a typo, because my human sometimes […]
One major branch of my family loses a key limb yet many more now are now connected, growing. On Saturday, I made the journey down to that trouble some country that a one time was united, to drop into home town Baltimore to be a my Aunt Dorothy’s funeral. She was the last living of […]
A good few strides into 2025, it’s time to do real Blog Blog Blog. The backlog blog blockage is about to break folks, head for high land! My brain is full of drafts, and a window of left open browser tabs is calling to be used. This one shall as usual be chock full of […]
Growing up on the east coast of the U.S. (Baltimore, Maryland), I knew nothing of Northern Lights. Perhaps there was a blip in a science class, or maybe a glorious National Geographic photo. Nor was it anything I experience after I moved to Arizona. But when I had that wild opportunity in November 2008 to […]
That’s the plan (and actually better pace than the stack of partly reads on my nightstand table). The book is “A Year in the Woods” by Norwegian writer Torbjørn Ekelund– the sad state of web search yields no author managed web site, just links to book sellers or book reviews, I link therefore to a […]
It’s meaningful to me even if “nobody” blogs anymore, these things still work as generators of potential serendipity. Earlier this year, I rummaged through some old photos, online databases, exploring what small shreds I could find about my mother’s brother, my Uncle Harvey. I have the barest warm glow shreds of memories his wife, my […]
“Holy late to the blog writing, Levine” yells the inner critic. Whatever. Here is my tale of a circle I was most fortunate to have been swept into. And more critical whinging as I am actually a day later than I should have been. So it goes. And the title was supposed to have this […]
