I very much liked “Out Stealing Horses” by Per Petterson, a book in which I found several quotes that resonated with me. The main character has his own set of rules. I have some of my own “Pam Rules”, part of my personal code, that come in really handy when I’m out of sorts or in a place where I

Over the last many, many months I’ve been really thinking about friendships, relationships, how well I know other people and how well others know me. I thought this passage from “Out Stealing Horses” by Per Petterson summed things up nicely. “People like it when you tell them things, in suitable portions, in a modest, intimate tone, and they think they
The last Friday of each month The Yoga Space has an evening of free yoga. Nice way to give back to the community and for those yogis (or want-to-be yogis) to check out the studio.

They impressed me with how quick they were and how funny the stuff was … seemingly made up, right off the top of their
About a month or more ago I saw a ground hog walk up the front walk, eat some birdseed, and then slip under the porch. Last fall I trapped and released (with the help of my friend, Farmer Dan) two other groundhogs. I’m happy to live in harmony with these animals, but my friends and coworkers warn me about the
Last weekend Apple sponsored an E-waste event at the local high school. Volunteers directed cars, emptied trunks, and sorted and stacked old electronic devices. It’s a great service that happens a couple times a years. The used items are disposed of in an environmentally responsible way and at no charge to those of us who drop things off. I was
Just finished “Work of Wolves” by Kent Meyers and I loved every word. I would highly recommend it.
April is National Card and Letter Writing Month and I just finished writing my first card/letter of the month. Writing a letter a week is one of my New Year’s Resolutions so, I’ve been writing them every week this year. National Card and Letter Writing Month is an annual effort to promote literacy and to celebrate the art of letter
