Mac vs. PC

My very first computer was a PC. I bought it at Best Buy in 1995. Tinkering with a brand new concept, my own personal computer, was fun.

And then the glitches. Ack.

When I met my husband, he introduced me to my new friend:apple. I have been hooked ever since. A mac is easier to use, has less problems and despite costing more, has the better value.

Even the commercials are better. Apple - Get a Mac - Watch the TV Ads - Broken Promises; and i hate commercials.

Rocker

Rock music screams rebellion.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for Metallica, but the rockers of the classic era are where its at.

AC/DC, Rush, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin.

I'm 42 years old and I still love to drive down the road with the windows down with "Comfortably Numb" blaring.

Don't get me wrong, I love other music too: classical, jazz, alternative; but rock speaks to my soul.

Pre-Thanksgiving Thoughts

We are one week away from Thanksgiving Day and the blogs and news outlets will be streaming with historical data and personal stories about the day and what it means.
The Day Of Thanks.
The Day Of Gratitude.
In one week, my family will be gathered; we are a small bunch. Myself, my husband and our three grown children. My in-laws live next door, so that is easy. My husband's newly separated cousin and his two daughters will also join us. And that's it.
It's family.
I am thankful I have my family; many will be alone this holiday.

Holidays create particular difficulties for those seeking sobriety. Alcoholics Anonymous : makes itself available on holidays for meetings and in some places gathering for sober potlucks.

The only requirement is a desire to stop drinking. Check out their website and locate meetings in your area.

Peace.

Everyday We Change

This you tube video and website seemed quite interesting to me.




I believe it struck me because I've been more mindful of how quickly I have aged over the past few years.

This young man has taken on a task and project through his love of photography and I felt the need to honor it here.

Good luck with your project Noah.

Father Joseph Martin Passes

Sadly, Father Martin died today. October 12, 1924 - March 9, 2009

He was instrumental in addiction education, especially with alcohol.

His videos are widely used in treatment facilities and I personally find them helpful to my clients.

Father Martin


RIP Father Martin
