In Dwelling

I'm Roz, and this is my relaxed space. It's about fun, good conversation and — well yes — good conversation. Pull up a well-padded armchair and help yourself to something to drink. You'll find cheese and crackers on the sideboard. What's new with you?

If you're looking for things in a more serious or spiritual vein, you can check out Exultet where I write that sort of thing.

Things that made my eyes widen

Waiter, bring me some soup that I will think is good! And step on it!
"Actually, most people's marital satisfaction declines over time, even though they think it is improving," says Professor Benjamin Karney, marriage researcher at the University of Florida. Uh-huh. And the problem is what, exactly?

After too many days of sunshine, something just snaps.
The underground garden of an underground chapel, somewhere underneath Fresno, CA. I suspect the motivation had something to do with the 30 degree difference between the underground temperature and the average life of a Fresnoian.

Parenting techniques of the future.
Kids you can be proud of, guaranteed. This is several years old. I'm sure it sounded more radical then than it does now, disturbingly enough.

Two game wardens, seven hunters and a cow.
Tom Lehrer song lyrics. Astound your children with the realization that they did not invent edgy humor.

Do you love being alive? Make your grandchildren quit college.
Relatives literally worry themselves to death over final exams, says Dr. Michael Adams in the Annals of Improbable Research. If you are an academic pratitioner yourself, the journal supplies a solution to your publish-or-perish woes here.

This started out to be a straightforward, serious post. Honest. Oh well.

    Another thing we have in common! I love Tom Lehrer! I have a book of music and lyrics that I've enjoyed playing and singing with.

    I actually sat down and copied out the "Elements Song" from the record when I was in college, just for the pleasure of singing along with the record or singing it in Organic Chemistry class (yes, I am a major geekette).

    Therrrrreeeee's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium.......

      Mother of several, grandmother of a couple, wife to one very good man. My epitaph will probably read, "Well, you just never know." Life is good, but it takes unexpected turns. Good thing I like surprises.
