On my mind today during this week before Thanksgiving, in a country that doesn’t have Thanksgiving, I have a lot to be thankful for. What? This is not a post of thanks. It is about other things. What? WELLLLLL, I have decided that doctors only know so much. I KNOW that attorneys only know soContinue reading “ON MY MIND DURING THE WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING…..”

INTERLUDES – A MOMENT IN TIME – “just for fun”
For years, I have watched British mysteries and legal dramas for fun. I like them. I still do. I am currently spending time watch David Suchet as “Poirot” in Agatha Christie mysteries. And often, there will be an episode – here and there – surrounding Bees. So, when I saw this piece, I saved itContinue reading “INTERLUDES – A MOMENT IN TIME – “just for fun””
NO COMMENT! Dedicated to Missy RIP
Missy died last night while I was asleep. I awoke during the middle of the night to find her dead. It was a terrible experience. She was probably sick at the time I bought her. Who knew? We had five wonderful years together. We were bonded – at least I was – from the beginning.Continue reading “NO COMMENT! Dedicated to Missy RIP”
NON-COMMENTARY COMMENTARY!
NO COMMENT! MY heart is very full this weekend. So, my weekend post is full of sayings, pictures, and memes that speak to me without comment from me. I have done several of these from Nice after Steve’s death and the election of 2016. And, now, here is my first one from Paris without commentContinue reading “NON-COMMENTARY COMMENTARY!”
5 YEARS LATER…PARIS – OCTOBER 2020
This is my world and welcome to it! What is on my mind this weekend? Lots. I have settled into my new home in Paris, 16e. I like it. It is not perfect (by a long shot) but the feeling is right. That is what is important. But, right now, I am staying in andContinue reading “5 YEARS LATER…PARIS – OCTOBER 2020”
PARIS – “HUNKERING DOWN !
What a glorious September morning in Paris! I am sitting here in my new apartment in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris, aware that I feel good and am hunkering down. I just had a small breakfast and coffee on the balcony and remembered that I need to start a blog for this weekend. Actually, thatContinue reading “PARIS – “HUNKERING DOWN !”
BRAINSTORMING WITH MY READERS – (warning) It has been a rough week.
I have a lot of things on my mind. I have been trying to decide what topic I want to “brainstorm” with you today. These are several that I have on my mind. 1) Inside the Bubble, looking out”; 2) WOW, Dorothy, we are not in Kansas anymore.”; 3) The Buck Stops Here; 4) BadContinue reading “BRAINSTORMING WITH MY READERS – (warning) It has been a rough week.”
ON MY MIND THIS MORNING (August 15, 2020)…..
“Without freedom, you have nothing left.” (from Hong Kong.) I quit! “This year, “character is on the ballot.” I agree. “No one sees us. It is like we don’t exist.” (from Belarus). Bottom line, I have reached overload. MY being “emotionally vested” has reached a saturation point. Sorta. But, I cannot love, care, and beContinue reading “ON MY MIND THIS MORNING (August 15, 2020)…..”
AUGUST (sigh)
August 2020. August has become a difficult month for me. “Bittersweet”. I think that is the correct use of that word. First of all, it was full of birthdays when I was growing up. Lots of good friends had birthdays in August. As my friends and I have grown apart through the years, I beganContinue reading “AUGUST (sigh)”
STARTING OVER…….AGAIN……….
I am starting over. Today is August 2, 2020, and it is a new day for me. Why? OK, here goes…. Some of this is repetitive to those who “follow” Jayspeak. But, a lot of it is not. That said, during July, I had a bunch of tests plus an MRI to find out whyContinue reading “STARTING OVER…….AGAIN……….”
