Return to your homes, nothing (more) to see here…
After a great deal of thought, I’m working on closing down this blog. I will be moving some of the material I want to save over to www.janetgreen.net, and hereafter will be focusing my blogging efforts there and on my largest site, www.bikerchicknews.com.
Thanks for reading for the past couple of years, and for commenting! I am still [...]
So many (business) ideas, so little cash
When I had been working as a corporate hack for about ten years, I came to a point where I desperately wanted to own my own business. So in the mid-90’s when I was downsized out of hackdom, I took the opportunity to do just that – I did freelance business communications and marketing work [...]
My green EnV – here today, gone tomorrow
To whoever found my phone, probably in the Dahl’s or Walgreen’s parking lot on East Euclid on Christmas Eve, I’m sorry you didn’t have the character to turn it in to the store’s lost-and-found or even answer it when I was frantically calling its number to try to locate it. I hope you enjoy the [...]
Sixteen good ones I wouldn’t trade for anything
Last Friday was our 16th wedding anniversary. We celebrated with a nice dinner out at The Big Steer in Altoona and then drinks with friends.
Our wedding in 1991 was a very casual event – we were married and had our reception in the clubhouse of a local apartment complex, with music by a local DJ [...]
Headlines illustrate stupidity of “hate crime” concept
I noticed a headline the other day… I was going to share it, because it was so ridiculous, but then I left the website where I’d seen it and didn’t go back. It went like this:
“Woman’s week-long rape, torture may be hate crime.”
And I thought, upon reading that, If a week of rape and torture [...]
Thoughts on the September 11 Sixth Anniversary
Blue Sky.
That’s what I remember, more than anything else, about September 11, 2001. It was one of those blue sky days (at least, it was in New York – isn’t it funny that I don’t remember whether it was overcast here?). The kind like today: bright, clear blue sky, where trees and buildings just seem [...]
Monday musings: a praying mantis, a motorcycle accident, and more
I have to mention a really interesting experience we had the other night. My husband and I came out of El Rodeo on E. Euclid and were approaching our car, when I realized there was a Praying Mantis perched on the roof of the car, over the driver’s door. We approached slowly because frankly, I’ve [...]
Were you part of the 70’s family audio trend?
I read Larry’s piece yesterday about family audio recordings and left a comment about the first “audio recording story” from my own experience that came to mind. I also remember a couple others:
My younger brother and I used to play with a large reel-to-reel recorder that belonged to my dad. One of our favorite activites [...]
Are you a drive-by reader?
I believe that by immersing myself in a day-long commitment to a single book, I probably get more out of it than I would if I were to read it over several shorter periods.
Do you have sufficient arrogance?
I don’t mean to ask, “Do you think you’re better than everyone else?” What I mean is, do you know just how knowledgable you really are, and do you believe in the value of what you do know?
