Things on my mind that begin with letter F: 1. fairs : country, book 2. fairies : flower and forest 3. faith : I have yet to witness the one that can move a mountain 4. flowers: arrangements of lilies, orchids and roses in weddings 5 . forests: the ones in Sintra, Portugal. I read they are magical 6. friends : I appreciate those I heard from in Facebook on August 30th 7. forty : crap! how did I get to be that? 8. food : I went restaurant-hopping during my birthday - hors d' oeuvre at Vie Ha Lung, main course at It's Happened to be a Coffee Shop (if there is a next time I will analyze that "Satanic Majesty" on their menu before ordering their mediocre lamb steak in red wine sauce), dessert at Sweet Secret, and cocktails at The Landmark 9.  farms : upon my word, farms! the charming places that they are. 10. fairy tales: I have never stopped believing in them. At least not yet. Or maybe I never will. 11. fig: there is a sacred fig near the spirit house at work. Next to

Music Monday: Pomp and Circumstance by Edward Elgar Monday Mayhem follows School. Your imagination must have gone rainbow-colored what with everything that school life is. Let me cut to the chase - it's great to graduate. .

This is indeed the coolest place to be on a Monday. Today we are going to share what ticked us off about. What a great way to vent! Be sure to have fun! 1. What made ticked off the most yesterday? a headache 2. What ticks you off about your local mail service? Hollow parcels. And as if it's not jarring enough the letter that tells you what to expect in the parcel arrives slashed. That's corruption, third-world style. 3. What ticks you off about the opposite sex?  Some of them 'care too much' they invad

Lumos Maxima! A bored muggle needed sufficient light to pore over the final Harry Potter book not once but twice, thrice or Voldy knows how many times. Yes, we can say the name now . These are lines I remember from The Deathly Hallows for reasons bubbling with toads and whiskers in my cauldron recently: 1. All's fair in love and war and this is a bit of both. - Ron Weasley 2. Mudblood and proud of it! - Hermione Granger 3. Of course it is happening in your head, but why on earth should that mean it is not real? - Albus Dumbledore to Harry 4. I think the answer is: a circle that has no beginning. - Luna Lovegood 5. We teachers are rather good in magic you know. - Minerva McGonagall 6. We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter's the one, And Voldy's gone moldy, so now let's have fun! - Peeves 7.

Music Monday: High upon this love, Dionne Warwick, The Bold and the Beautiful Monday Mayhem follows The closest I could get to a TV show is The Bold and the Beautiful. In the early 2000s I tempered vicious gradschool Stats with the entertainment  B&B offered.  Eric Marienthal renders a prominent saxophone feature and Dionne Warwick does the vocals. I love the combination.

Were you a fan of Amy Winehouse? Were you surprised about her?  No and no 2. What have you always wanted to try doing during a heat wave? Have you done it? What's holding you back? Heatwaves are an almost daily experience where I live. I'm probably too used to being dehumidified to think of exotic ways of dealing with the usual cold edibles, light clothing or freezing AC's. 3. &q
