good night and good luck

I saw the Edward R. Murrow movie and really liked it. Making the news used to be a courageous act and it was artful. Unfortunately, the art is gone and it's really nothing I care to watch. I wish more newscasters would take a stand and I wish that they could hold the viewer's gaze for longer than a minute or more.

tag, I'm it

John tagged me to write about the five things that are always in my fridge and I'm happy to play along. I'll even include a photo.

1. Bottled water — I drink lots of water and always have some on hand.
2. Champagne — You never know when you might want to celebrate something worthy of the bubbly.
3. Yogurt — I eat yogurt at least once a day and can't imagine life without it. Really.
4. Non-GMO, non-hydrogenated "buttery spread" — It's way more healthy than butter or margarine and tastes just fine to me.
5. Sweet pickles — Who doesn't like sweet pickles? I love 'em and always have a jar on hand.

April, your turn. Whatcha got in there?

I know, I know....it's the corniest thing I have ever said, but I couldn't help myself. I took this in Portland. A nod to Creative Death and Uneasy Rhetoric... .

disconcerting

I tried to view my blog this evening and got this error message: You don't have permission to access this server. If I don't have permission, who does, I ask? I seem to be able to post, but just not look. So, you all mind your Ps and Qs out there!

don't panic
