Happy Birthday Julia Child

I wonder what Julia would think of this Julia Child Remix, Keep On Cooking.

Have you ever been a little obsessive about a project?



. . . or perhaps she was just distracting herself? (Yes I am probably projecting more than a little.) Someone recently emailed this link to me; I've seen it before, but I love it every time I watch ;-)

It Touched Me

Diane sent this to me in email. It touched me and I wanted to share.



I promise more original content soon. (Frankly, life hasn't been all that pleasant lately, so I've kept it out of the blog . . . you can thank me later).

Hug Someone

I love this.

Everyday Performance Art

This is an Osaka crosswalk, found on Flickr during my life as a mouse potato. It made me smile.
