Today I had a random memory.   I have no idea what triggered it.  After all, it wasn’t a windy day.  Oh yes, I was thinking about this whole notion of social networking.  And I had this little memory hit me today.  Yes boys and girl…… it happened before the days of the “interwebs”………
It was a windy [...]

I have a friend, Cindy.  And for YEARS….I KID YOU NOT.  She has been asking people (including me)  the question, “What would you do if you were brave?”  The question stems from the lyrics of Jana Stanfield.  The song?  “If I Were Brave”.    Cindy has signed for and been a part of Jana’s music [...]

It was Gallery Night in the Third Ward of Milwaukee.   We went into the Artasia Gallery.  Tucked away in the back of the store there must have been hundreds of wooden and cloth asian puppets lying in a heap on a table.  I was totally mesmerized.
