Musings on life, technology and marketing
Disturbing marketing
Normally I’m a “live and let live” type of gal. But something happened last weekend that I just can’t forget. I’m in my exercise room, deep into my yoga practice and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Greece. All of a sudden I hear this loud pounding on our side door. Now normally I would ignore […]
Big brother is watching!
May 22, 2019
This mysterious package showed up on our doorstep the other day. This box looks like a box for expensive men’s cologne. I was confused since I know Mr. Ken does not wear cologne. Mr. Ken quickly absconds upstairs with the box. I hear nothing more of it until the next day. I came downstairs and […]
All ready to go!
May 15, 2019
It is that time of year again, when we bring up our kayaks. I look forward to this all winter. We store our kayaks in the basement and have to bring them up through the bulkhead. The bulkhead is at a very awkward angle, so it is always a challenge to bring them up without […]
Signs of spring
May 8, 2019
Technically spring starts on March 22. That isn’t always true here in New England. We have been known to have snow then. Finally, our spring has arrived. Here are a few of the sights: 1. Hummingbirds. Do you know these tiny little creatures fly all the way from Maine to South America for the winter? […]

Comments Off on A little technical rant
So I finally bought a Smart TV for my exercise room. A Smart TV means you can access the Internet from your TV. I wanted to be able to access the myriad of exercise videos on YouTube. As if my collection of 100’s of exercise DVDs wasn’t enough! The picture is crystal clear and big! […]
Planning the London Trip – Part 1
April 24, 2019
So the flights have been booked and the flat reserved. See, I am already turning into an Englishwoman, by saying flat, not apartment. Here is the next installment of our London adventures. 1. The mobile phone data black hole. Another random fact I remember is that one probably needs a different SIM card […]
It’s Peep time!
April 17, 2019
As Easter draws near, it is time for my annual Peeps post. As most of you know, I love Peeps almost as much as I love chipmunks. I searched far and wide to find some fun new Peeps pictures. 1. The famous Peep Mobile! Do you know in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the home of Just Born, […]
Any tips for visiting London?
April 10, 2019
Mr. Ken and I are planning a trip to London, England this summer. Neither of us has ever been to England. Mr. Ken is the doer in our family and I am the planner. So I have been a busy little bee doing lots of research. I’ve been very fortunate to have several friends who […]
Misleading marketing
April 3, 2019
I should know better; if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Last week, I was perusing Facebook and an ad popped up in my feed. Now normally I ignore ads, but this one caught my eye. It was for free bootcamp sessions at a gym near me. (On a side […]
Random encounters
March 27, 2019
So my friend Lisa and I, in our search to add more culture to our lives, visited the International Museum of World War II in Natick Massachusetts. We were expecting a few rooms filled with interesting artifacts, but boy were we surprised! Inside were rooms and rooms filled with artifacts about the causes and consequences […]
