• Golf Course

  August 06, 2011

  As mentioned before, I was a really late bloomer so almost every experience was a new experience (beyond scholastics – but not gymnastics because I had flunked gym in H.S. even though I was on the Swim Team.)

  So, a weekend trip (from Pasadena, CA) to Sa… continue reading

• Offer to Help Our Government Save Money

  May 30, 2011

  I’m not particularly stupid although I might be a bit naïve. I say ‘naïve’ because I thought that if our government could save money, they would jump at a chance to do that!

  In 2003, I was living in Freeport Maine and joined the Made in Maine org… continue reading

• Late Teens

  April 23, 2011

  I was in limbo: couldn’t be a dancer, refused to be a teacher or nurse because, even at that early age, I knew I didn’t like kids and I hated the sight of blood. So, what to do? I would get married (children in other countries married young) and I would… continue reading

  BOOTCAMP: BEING PUT ON REPORT
  
  My first week in Bootcamp (Bainbridge, Md., Feb. 1959) was not without incident: when we lined up in our civilian clothes and were taught to march, right over to Stores for uniforms, I couldn’t help smiling. Since my mother … continue reading

  I arrived at the Mission Viejo Elks Lodge and, as with all other Lodges, you must check in at the bar to get permission to park. I went into the bar and filled out more paperwork than usual. I called Penny to let her know I was in her area and she invi… continue reading

• My Visit with Tinabops/Christina

  November 24, 2010

  Tina and I had agreed to meet ‘half way’ in Monrovia, CA, at a MiMi’s Restaurant. I arrived early and asked the hostess for a quiet spot where two people could talk – she suggested the enclosed patio. I then told the hostess that I was expecting another… continue reading

• Meeting Kamala on EN Journey

  November 20, 2010

  (This is continuance after meeting Eric & Dr. J. at JPL):

  After the 20 minute power nap, I spoke with Kamala to coordinate our meeting. Kamala was going to be with a friend, Lori, and we were to meet at the Ikea store in Burbank – movie town. Lori’s fat… continue reading

• JPL Tour

  November 10, 2010

  Dr. J was so generous to offer a guided tour of JPL and Eric and I took advantage of him – no, no, no – we took advantage of his OFFER!

  Fortunately, Eric and I had agreed to meet at a Starbucks before the appointed hour. Not only did he get me on-lin… continue reading

• Beginning of Motor Homing

  September 19, 2010

  Four years after marriage and 3-1/2 years of marriage counseling, I left husband #2 by driving away in a new motor home I had just purchased with the monies made from selling my condo. The only way ‘out’ from our house on the small mountain in La Mesa (S… continue reading
