Read MoreI ain’t worried about this weather – I’ve got my High Road Organizer gear
Yes, alert – commercial coming, because I receive a small commission for every sale of High Road Organizers products which results from a click off my site. But I endorse these products because they wear like iron. I’ve had three of their basic black door-hanger trash bags – those are technical terms – in my car for…
Read MoreTour a Recycling Plant
How’s this for the ultimate reduce, reuse, recycle? Take a tour of a recycling plant! I had no idea this was possible. My thanks to The Woodinville Weekly, for its February 4, 2019 page 5 article, “What happens after the bin? Behind the scenes at the Recycling Center” giving us a glimpse behind-the-bins at Waste…
Read MoreMarilyn Paul, Ph.D. discussing her newest book “An Oasis in Time” Tuesday 2/5/2019

Read MoreRituals and Routines
I haven’t had a regular subway commute since September 1997. Started them in April 1986. And I still don’t really like cars: I’m hardened against my distaste after many long years of necessity. I’ll never be one to suddenly exclaim “LET’S GO FOR A DRIVE!” In fact, if I’m ever heard to say such a…
Read MoreThe Happiness Project, a Gretchen Rubin inspiration
I am writing this while cold, hungry, caught up in the vaguest beginnings of a headache, and superbly grumpy after suffering through administrivia all afternoon. Because, of course, taxes.

Read More‘Tis the Season to Recycle Christmas Trees
