    Can you still sleep through the night?

    These last few years I've started waking up about 5am for a bathroom trip. No special reason...bladder just getting old and wore out, I guess. I wish I could sleep like I did when I was young. I remember one Saturday years ago, when I had my own apartment, I laid down on the couch for a nap...

    Once You Read/Hear a Word ….

    Protagonist. I've gone 75 years without ever hearing that word, then one day it showed up in something I was reading. I had to look it up, as I had never heard of it before. Now I see the word protagonist everywhere. For some reason it annoys me. Why can't they just say "main character" or...

    An old woman on a train

    What's for Christmas dinner?

    Two of these snowflakes are the same ...

    I'm pretty sure I found those two in the 30 second time frame. I didn't use a timer but it didn't take very long.
