I spoke to my Mom last night, one of our almost weekly phone calls. It was a bit ominous when she called me at 8:00am this morning… she shared the sad news that my Aunt Martha had passed away. She lived alone in Baltimore. Ten days ago, the people who clean her place found Martha […]
Bear with me on what my unravel as a long strand here, Im trying to weave into one a stream that’s been flowing all day. Never one to write in that organized a fashion, I see a path:
Are you ready? Please place your minds into the upright and locked open position…
cc licensed flickr photo shared by mrphancy I’ve been a few weeks into using Google Chrome, and sorry Old Fox, the shiny metal is looking and feeling good.

It’s been on my to do list since August, but I finally got the last mile of code done to restore my Five Card Flickr stories site to life. If you had not played with this before, the initial description tells it all: I’ve been ultra interested in the idea of telling stories in pictures. […]
