Okay, I finally caved.
After watching a fellow passenger color for three solid hours on a flight from San Francisco to Minneapolis, I bought two books this weekend and gave it a try.
It’s pretty darn fun.
This page is from a coloring book on Tokyo (which I visited in 2014). I also got one on New York City.
I would write more, but I think I will color instead.
In honor of Kentucky’s game against Hampton in the NCAA tourney tonight…
…a work of art from my niece Hope!

Are you feeling the luck o’ the Irish today?
Honestly, my day didn’t start that way. So I went in search of it on the great Google machine!
Here are my Five Favorite Shamrock-Inspired Creations, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.
A Shamrock Buddy — for luck and friendship
Shamrock ‘Stache — for avoiding the folks whose friendship you do not seek
Shamrock Pretzel Bites — Irish food kinda blows, so try this American delicacy
Shamrock Beads — ’cause sometimes ya gotta make your own luck from odds ‘n’ ends around the house
Shamrock Ring — when friendship takes an unexpected turn (and pipe cleaners say it best)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I watched The Princess Bride for the umpteenth time again today.
(It came on TV suddenly; what else could I do?)
I was playing on Facebook and Twitter at the same , where I encountered a bunch of pumpkin stuff. This spurred a random thought —
Are there any Princess Bride pumpkin carvings out there?
As you wish!

My niece dressed as Martha Stewart at her office for Halloween this year. An essential part of her costume?
An apron.
I realized when she posted a pic that I hadn’t worn an apron in years and have only owned one in my entire life — an apron that I made in my home economics class in high school.
It looked much like the one at left, except mine was constructed out of blue denim.
It featured Snoopy and Woodstock and the dog bowl, too…and I think one of them was holding a sign — appliqued, you understand.
I got an ‘A’ for my sewing job…and I think I could probably still pull it off today.
Not sure my cooking skills would make the same grade.

I want
Bubble Wrap Keychain
What a great way to pass the time on the subway… or in the doctor’s office waiting room… or anywhere you have time to spare.
Warning: observers will either covet your keychain or plot your demise.
Happy Monday!
