If you are easily triggered by details of sexual assault, I feel it necessary to suggest that perhaps you skip this one. This morning started with an earthquake. I didn’t really feel it, although I did wake up at the exact moment it hit – but I didn’t know until later on that it was… Continue reading The World We Live In

Gone too Far This Time
Everybody has a limit, and I finally hit mine. I’ve been on Twitter since 2009. I wasn’t one of the very first, but I was a fairly early adopter. Back then, people took the prompt “What are you doing right now” very seriously. There were tweets like, “I am feeding my cats”, or “Do you… Continue reading Gone too Far This Time
With Chickens Standing Round
Caught inside MY own motion Hello Wednesday! Today’s blog is going to be short, because I am injured. Yesterday, as I was trying to go in and clean up after my chickens, I stepped up into the coop only to trip, drop the 40 lb bag of stall refresher I was carrying and fall face… Continue reading With Chickens Standing Round

How many times do you need to listen to an album before you connect, or “get it”? Is it a case of, “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again?” Or, do you figure that if the ears don’t like it, you’re done?
Hi, My Name is Rhonda
Identity is huge, isn’t it? For example, I know that I’m identified by this community, most likely members of DDHQ, and perhaps even the band and support people as “Daily Duranie”. They know me as a fan, and a big one at that.
Make Me Smile
I was in the car a couple of days ago, driving home from dropping off the youngest at school. Traffic was heavy, because it was raining. I felt fairly brain dead and cold as I would tap the gas, then the brake pedal, over and over. The stereo was playing an endless conglomeration of Christmas… Continue reading Make Me Smile
30 years of Big Thing!
It is amazing how quickly life can take a turn. In 24-hours, I went from feeling happy and content to worried and insecure. The charter school where my youngest attends suddenly closed down. There is much more to the story – as there always is – but the bottom line is that we had to… Continue reading 30 years of Big Thing!
