I might have visited Radio Row for the first time in the spring of 1961. My father took me along with him on one of his frequent excursions there to find yet another replacement tube for our RCA television set. This set was (to me, a 7-year old) a colossus of electronic bewilderment, encased within mahogany, standing tall and imposingly in our living room like the Monolith of “2001: A Space Odyssey.” The picture would take an aggravating eternity (maybe longer) to come on, if it came on at all, ...
I’m absolutely sick and tired of New York City’s war on terror's security obstacles and spectacles. Since 9/11, the sight of barricaded streets, restricted building areas, security checkpoints, and similar curtailments of liberties, have taken their toll on most people’s ability to suspend disbelief and anxiety attacks. If anything, as I remember that amazing day (even putting aside its mythical elements), the attacks were from the sky; and the supposed terrorists didn’t force but bought their way ...
I finally finished The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. I can't say that I enjoyed it, so I'm glad that it is over.

Shock horror, I've been thinking . I've been thinking about Tom and how we changed. Whenever I think about him I sum up my feelings towards him when we were still friends. I've worked it out, it's been worked out for a while. Quite simply, I loved Tom, but I wasn't IN love with him, that make sense? There are different kinds of love. I love my mum but I wouldn't sleep with my mum what a mental image, I shall have nightmares about that, anyway. It's settled, that's what I felt towards ...
As all of you may have guessed, the whole fight with the hubby is over with. We never do get along well when we are apart, and this time is no different. Is it bad when one of your reasons for deciding to marry was that the two of you made both yourselves and everyone around you miserable:lol: Things here are good, but they are really busy. I close on the house tommorrow, and I'm still working out my last week at my job. Given that I'm fighting to drag myself in each day, this ...
