My True Colors
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What color describes your personality and why? My first reaction to this prompt was to write about my favorite colors, but that wouldn’t necessarily answer the question. Maybe one of my fave colors describes my personality but maybe not. I decided to take an online color personality test. Of course, I’m…

Eggplant Pirogue Deliciousness
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What’s your favorite meal to cook and/or eat? I don’t have a favorite meal I like to cook. I do have two recipes here on my site for dishes that Gail likes me to make. But I’d rather share one of my favorite meals to eat rather than cook. I say…

Best Day Ever
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: Describe the happiest day of your life. October. Just a few months after Obergefell v. Hodges, requiring states to license and recognize same-sex marriage, I married the woman of my dreams. And that wedding…oh let me assure you, we definitely did it OUR WAY. We’re old hippies at heart, you see.…

Oh That Smell
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: Do you have a memory that’s linked to a smell? I could probably think of many smells that evoke memories, some good, some bad. (Bad = Bourbon St. on any given night). But the one good smell that brings back great memories would have to be the smell of a mess…

Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What fear have you conquered? I drive around the parking lot several times.

I pull into the spot, gather my things, place my car keys between my…

I’ll Take Four Wheels
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What is your preferred mode of travel? This one’s pretty easy. Gail is in a wheelchair. I have limited mobility. That makes many forms of travel difficult. I can’t even imagine trying to deal with the hassle of Gail getting on and off of a plane. Maybe a train would be…

Cashing In
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: If you had a billion US dollars, how would you spend it? To answer that question, I’ll just assume I’ve won the lottery, opted for the cash payout, and after taxes, I have a billion dollars left to do whatever I choose with it. I actually already have some of this…

I Just Can’t
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What chore do you find the most challenging to do? I’m not fond of chores at all, but there are some that are definitely more challenging than others for me. It mostly boils down to the height of the chore. I can’t bend. I can’t reach the ground in any way,…

What Is Success, Really?
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: How do you define success? As I read that prompt, I thought, oh, I’ve already blogged about this. Then, I scoured this site to find the post I remembered, and it didn’t exist. I worried about my memory at that point, but a few minutes later, it all came back to…
