Get your Clawfoot Tub here… What is a bath tub? To make things simple let me just state that it is a container. It would contain its contents. In most homes, it is used to wash yourself. Most homes have a tub with a shower spigot over it. People often forgo the tub to soak [...]

I flew on Saturday fully expecting to be leaving on Sunday afternoon for Charleston and all that was on my mind was making nachos for the crew on the flight to Port Au Prince, Haiti. I took some photos and they were delicious, thank you for asking: And yes, the crew loved the nachos! Doreen [...]

Photo courtesy of Kent Hammit…the guy the took the best photo of me…ever. As you can imagine, Parker has his own way of looking at the world. He’s fairly strong-willed and he’s pretty damned clear about the way he wants the world to go. This is entirely my doing. I raised the little sucker to [...]

I don’t know what’s worse, having other people underestimate you or underestimating yourself. Both kind of blow. Sometimes you underestimate yourself, yet you find that you could indeed do whatever it was that you didn’t think you could do. That’s very uplifting and a hell of a confidence builder. Having had other people underestimate your [...]

You know, you’d think writing would be a pretty cushy job. Not unlike looking at having parrots from the “non-parrot” perspective, that is people who never had a parrot will look at having a parrot in your life and think it would be easy. People who look at writing and don’t do it on a [...]

A decorative pillow I made for last year’s live auction. I have feathers floating through the air of my home, my living room looks like the day after Black Friday at Filene’s Basement and my neck has a cramp in it. This is how some of your feathers typically arrive. I have to sort this [...]

Why am I such a freak about diet? Well, let me explain something. You can take your bird to the Vet 90 times a year, but until you make sure their diet is healthy, no Vet is going to be able to do a thing. And it always comes down to the same thing, doesn’t [...]

See? I have the official “Writer’s Shirt” and everything! Being a writer is not all skittles and beer. And not all of it involves sitting under an oak tree with a lovely Moleskine Journal and a fountain pen waxing poetic about the meaning of life. At least not for me. This website has Moleskine Journals: [...]

See image source here: Island Crisis One of the things you must deal with when you have a blog is Spam. In my case it’s pretty clear cut. Word Press, the platform on which I produce my blog has this handy little program named Askimet that filters out what it believes are crap comments that [...]
