[Part 2 of a 3-part series on vacations. Part 1: 7/28/10] My worst summer vacation as a kid was a road trip to the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. That was 950 miles from our starting point in Buena Park, CA. It was June 1966. That’s 6/66. You do the math. We were going [...]
Is EBay a smut peddler? Yes, in a roundabout way. You associate with unethical dogs, you get up with their smarmy fleas. Is that how the saying goes? Or is it: You hang out with unethical pigs and the stink gets on you, too? Last night after I posted my blog about my major-league disappointment/criticism [...]
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a gonna do, But there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues. (Thank you, Eddie Cochran.) Boy, is it me or is NEGATIVITY swirling around America this August like the Dementors in Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban?

(A quick shout out to my fave classmates: Jerry Woelke, [...]
I was all set when I got home from work today to sit down at my desk and blog about an entirely different subject. But I sorted through my mail first—and made the mistake of looking at the cover of this week’s Time Magazine (August 9, 2010 issue). First I saw her eyes. For a [...]
[Note: Part 1 of a 3-part series. Part 2 = My worst summer vacation ever: http://fuchsiawoman.com/blog/live/bad-summer-vacations-are-always-memorable/ Part 3 = The health benefits of vacations. Still working on this one...] If I were Empress of the Universe, I would go on holiday every week. I love to get out of the house. I love to see [...]
Of all the things my parents were (that I yip about to this day), at least they weren’t Russian spooks masquerading as middle-class Americans! Geez, there’s a life. I wonder if these Russian spies—so enthralled with espionage and secret agenting—ever thought about what effect these activities might have on their children? Or were they too [...]
Recently I hired a freelance web designer to create an original Twitter page to add to my blog site. I literally had a world of choices—from on-line service providers—that hail from all corners of the planet. Since launching my writing career/publishing company, I have hired many types of professionals: book designers, illustrators, printers, proofreaders, marketing [...]
