cathleen's place: Exploring Portland: Audubon Society

http://cathleensplace.blogspot.com/2008/07/exploring-portland-audubon-society.html

Exploring Portland: Audubon Society. Kim and I and Jeff spent an hour on Sunday looking at possible houses, even though we've made up our minds that Blueberry Hill is the absolute best. I haven't written about this house, but as soon as it's ours, I'll show you why we held out for it. After wasting some gas driving all over Portland, we needed some good physical exercise. Haris had told me that a visit to the Audubon Society. I'm a big fan of helping folks who are doing good works. The Audubon Societ...

cathleen's place: The journey

http://cathleensplace.blogspot.com/2008/07/journey-into-dark-wood.html

To engage with the summons of our souls is to step into the deepest ocean, uncertain whether we will be able to swim to some new, distant shore. And yet, until we have consented to swim beyond the familiar lights of the port left behind, we will never arrive at a newer shore.". James Hollis, from Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life. To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men. (and women). The principal business of life is to enjoy it. Joe told me about PODart. You cannot solve...

I’ve decided blogging isn’t for me. I’ll leave this blog here to be a nice reminder for me of my struggle to quit smoking. I’ve enjoyed finding unusual things to share with any who happened to stop by. I’ve also enjoyed telling about our travels. And of course, who doesn’t like to rant about the nuttiness and injustices in the world? James Hollis, from Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life. I cried, I laughed, I enjoyed every minute of it, over and over. Is from his earlier video.). A sort of funny ...

If dogs were teachers, we would learn things like. 1 When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. 2 Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. 3 Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. 4 When it's in your best interest, practice obedience. 5 Let others know when they've invaded your territory. 6 Take naps. Stretch before rising. 7 Run, romp, and play daily. 8 Thrive on attention and let people touch you. 9 Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

http://cathleensplace.blogspot.com/2008/07/kid-safe-chemicals-act.html

The Kid Safe Chemicals Act. From Environmental Working Group. The human race is now polluted with hundreds of industrial chemicals with little or no understanding of the consequences. Babies are born pre-polluted with as many as 300 industrial chemicals in their bodies when they enter the world. Testing by Environmental Working Group has identified 455 chemicals in people, and again, no one has any idea if these exposures are safe.". Do you get it? The principal business of life is to enjoy it. Online ga...

Oregon stories: First we live in a hotel, eew. What else could we do? When we moved to Florida, we had spent a whirlwind weekend buying a house a month before we sent all our stuff and hopped in our car and drove across the country. We arrived two days before escrow closed and the moving truck showed up 15 minutes after signing the last piece of paper at the title company. Whew, it was close all the way - and way too fast. At least I still have a great view. Road trip: The big picture. About the people o...

Don't try this at home, heh heh. I was tickled when I read that the Asian Times. Had issued this marital precaution:. They looked pretty normal to me. Hmmm. If you haven't seen Lust, Caution this "report" will likely entice you to rush right out and do just that. Unless of course, you're offended by full frontal nudity, explicit scenes of sexual intercourse or hot, steamy, passionate film-making. I love Ang Lee: Eat Drink Man Woman; Brokeback Mountain; Sense and Sensibility; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Drago...
