I know very little about whisky, but I’ve discovered that I like Scotch. From what I’ve tried, it seems that my preference tends towards Scotch single malts. I would like to explore the various options and hone my palate. While a tour of the homeland, Scotland, would be fabulous in its own right, I think that a simple local whisky tasting experience would satisfy this bucket list item.

I am a lover of the Alan Parsons Project, circa 1980s, and ever since the Gaudi album, have been intrigued by the works of Antonio Gaudi, most specifically La Sagrada Familia Basilica. La Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona, has been called, “The most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages.”
….and now for a musical memory…
La Sagrada Familia, the wind has changed the storm is over
La Sagrada Familia, for the lion and the lamb
La Sagrada Familia, we thank the lord the danger’s over
La Sagrada Familia, there’s peace throughout the land
Under clear blue skies our voices rise in songs of glory
And for all those years our eyes and ears were filled with tears
Who knows where the world may turn us, only a fool would say
Who knows what the fates may have in store
Follow the light of truth as far as our eyes can see
How should we know where that may be? How should we know?

flying boats
I’ve seen this photo floating around FaceBook and the internet, and am intrigued by the crystal clear waters. Even though I stumbled across a forum in which the disclosure was made that such images are produced via a circular polarizing lens, and that the naked human eye won’t see as depicted in the photo, I still think that this would be a lovely place to experience in real life. Some day!

me
I‘m the mama.
My life revolves mainly around my 2 young children. I’m a single, full time working mom with a hellacious commute. Most of my time is spent taking care of the business of life.
I like walking, bicycling, playing Scrabble and other games, all manner of creative endeavors, sipping delightful beverages such as coffee, tea, cognac, wine and scotch, and rearranging my furniture.

Dredlock bike helmet!
My arms aren’t long enough to get all the locks in the picture. I made these fun fleece dredlock ski hats, ohhhhhh, about 20 years ago, for a few family members, and I kept one for myself.
I haven’t been skiing in, ohhhhhh, about 20 years, and I had a bike helmet carcass handy.
…and the two shall be as one…
The real test will be whether it remains in place, or whether it goes the way of its predecessor, which didn’t end well. I still have scars from the bike crash associated with that mishap.
I look silly on my old lady cruiser bike, complete with a basket and bell, and that’s okay by me!
Fun times!
