I haven’t posted anything on this blog for quite awhile now. Originally, my thought was to rant about a subject and add a cartoon regarding whatever that subject was. However, this caricature, Zanny, has magically taken on a life of her own! She’s now a line of notecards addressing many of the issues of the [...]

Ranting About Creativity and Stuff
I say this rant is about creativity, and in many ways, it is. But it’s about more than that too.
Sure, it’s often nice to own lots of stuff. I used to, but don’t so much any longer. Since becoming an empty-nester, I find I require little “stuff” to make me happy and that, in fact, [...]
A Rant About Feral Cats
About two weeks ago I went to a business meeting at a local hotel and today I have to rant about what I found. As I approached the entrance, I noticed many cats lurking around the perimeter of the building. After the meeting, I asked the hotel clerk about them. She told me they are [...]
Today’s Rant: Decisions, Decisions
Today I have to decide whether to pay my electric bill or not. To do so means I’d have to take the last dollars out of my savings account. It isn’t like that account is earning any interest, so that can’t be the problem. It’s gotta be a psychological thing, reminding me how scary my [...]
Today’s Rant: The Art of Conversation
I love hearing from my friends and family, really I do. And in our conversations, I attempt to do more listening than talking, although I’m not always successful. (Oh wait…….I have a rant to post about that subject….attempting! I’ll post that one next.)
As much as I enjoy hearing from everyone, it always cracks me up when [...]
Today’s Rant: Climate Change
Ok, here it is almost the middle of March and I need to rant a bit because it’s freezing in here. You can’t tell me climate change isn’t happening. I live in the Pacific Northwest, where typically, it’s mellow all year long. Sure it rains, but this year that moisture is coming down in the [...]
Today’s Rant: Rewarding Bad Behavior, Blago gets 6 figures?
Ok, this subject truly deserves some ranting! It seems to me that a ton of crappy, just downright bad behavior gets rewarded with big bucks these days, especially in the political arena. I heard yesterday on the news that the impeached Illinois governor, Blago, has been offered 6 figures to write a tell-all book about the [...]
More on Religion as Business Rant
Here’s yet another reason I don’t believe in organized religions any longer. The use of such trickery is almost comical. This is a scan of the actual card that was stuck in my front door in early December. Now, tell me…….aren’t they using difficult economic times to bribe folks in the door? I have to [...]
Today’s Rant: Delusional or Not?
So in this rant I admit I am, in some ways, totally delusional. Perhaps we all are to a certain extent. If I weren’t delusional, I’d be either depressed or insane, or both.
Digging alittle deeper, however, I’m wondering what the difference is between a delusion and a belief. The dictionary says a delusion is a false belief. [...]
