The world is a lot less brighter this evening with the passing of Studs Terkel. I am not one to get overly emotional about the passing of folks I don’t know personally, yet hearing that Studs at 96 has died, has made me a tad melancholy this evening.
If you don’t know who Studs is, google [...]

Living an organic life on a kool-aid budget
I had planned to skip posting today since its been a flurry of activity with both the spousal unit and I on deadlines. Plus I am still trying to get caught up on client work since I basically lost two weeks of work this month between me and mini-me being sick, plus I start the new gig [...]

Is it really homemade?
Living in Maine sometimes as a Black woman can get lonely as hell. Yes, I do have some Black friends up here but truthfully everyone is so busy trying to survive that free time to just hang out is hard to come by. Which is why yesterday was a treat for me, I spent a good [...]

Just a junkie…news junkie that is
Nope, I couldn’t do it. I could not go 24 hours ignoring the news, this morning when I woke up, I automatically turned on NPR as I do every morning to wake up. Let’s just say by the time I remembered I was taking a hiatus from the news, I had already listened for at least [...]

Plain old tired

White folks and racial naivete
For the past few days I have been thinking about the rather interesting observation that this presidential season seems to be bringing out, the fact that by and large when you are person of the paler hue, one does not have to think about race on a regular basis.
Seriously, both in my online as well [...]

Random Monday Babble
My daughter is under the weather today in that way that happens to kids, so my work week is starting off a tad slow, so no real post today since at the moment she is on the couch and I only have a quick moment to post.
For starters, I am so happy that Colin Powell [...]

Whose the real terrorist?
Its Friday and I am in a rambling mood, so bear with me as I turn the vent on full force. I was out having my morning butt and thinking about all the articles and videos I have seen coming from the McCain-Palin camp of folks who voice their concerns about Obama being linked to [...]
