Messing about with empathy
I’m trying to run/walk 1,000 miles in 2020. Right now, I’m at 876, and I’m getting impatient. My original plan was to reach 900 on my birthday (10/19) and hit 1,000 on Thanksgiving. I think I can get it done quicker. My new goal is to reach 900 miles this Thursday. I can easily do…
I watched the first episode of National Geographic’s Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and it’s wonderful. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is one of my favorite parks at Walt Disney World, and a chance to go behind the scenes is magical. You can view it on Disney+ right now, and I highly recommend it. I plan to watch…
I I didn’t know what to write about today, so I figured I find some fun trivia. As everyone knows from my July posts, I don’t take trivia lists at face value because many contain mistakes. So when an item caught my eye, I did some research. It turns out it’s true, and I’m glad…
A visit to a farm and a walk through a corn maze is an autumn tradition for many families. I’ve only been to two and neither was very good. Usually, I’m more impressed with the aerial view than the walkthrough. This is a shame because I love hedge mazes found in English gardens (or Harry…
I love punny jokes (especially the memes with the husky.) Okay, so that one wasn’t Halloween themed, but it makes me laugh every time. The following jokes from Good Housekeeping are spooky as well as punny. Share them like treats with no calories. What do mummies listen to on Halloween? Wrap music. How do you…
Happy Mad Hatter Day!! October 6 is Mad Hatter Day because the crazy character from Alice in Wonderland has a measurement tag on his hat that reads 10/6. Fun. I enjoy wearing hats and would love to see them come back as normal attire. I’ve been watching the Perry Mason movies from the 1950s, and…
I finally watched Knives Out. I like mystery movies, but the preview for this movie was awful. I didn’t think I could handle listening to Daniel Craig (who I adore as James Bond) butchering a southern accent for over two hours. However, I heard good things about this movie from people I trusted, so I checked…
Sometimes I research something that I think I understand and discover that I’ve been completely wrong all my life. This happened with the above caterpillar that I found on my driveway yesterday. The woolly bear caterpillar is also known as the woolly worm or fuzzy worm. Lore says that it can predict whether winter will…
The Season of Spooky has arrived. I love going to Disneyland or Walt Disney World during the Halloween season (for Disney, that used to start in August.) The decorations are awesome, the food is unique, and the costumes on the characters are wonderful. Of course, 2020 has changed everything. Disneyland isn’t open, Walt Disney World…
Many thanks to everyone who responded to my Pinterest post. I now have a lot of good tips to try. October is here! It’s my favorite month of the year. The cooler weather. The changing colors. My birthday. Halloween. What’s not to like? I decorated my house last Saturday, and for the first time since…
