Presence Present

For a couple of years I have thought about remodeling. We have just been so busy that we couldn’t bring ourselves to take the time to do it. Finally this week we just did it! And I like it. It isn’t quite finished. I am still trying on different colors, different styles, adding animation and …

Glee

I have been avoiding this season’s T.V. lineup. I don’t care too much for T.V. Mostly it seems like a HUGE waste of time. Having said that, I do read about show premises.

One Bite At A Time

This last weekend, I spent some time up in the White Mountains at a Women’s Retreat. Since I am a documentary filmmaker, they asked if I would come and give a presentation about documenting their lives. In the past, most people resorted to personal journals and photo albums as the tools to capture life experience. …

Who Am I?

One of my many nicknames is Dory and this is why…. I think. “Dory: I suffer from short term memory loss. It runs in my family… At least I think it does… Where are they?” I best be careful. I might be sued for quoting a movie.
