L: Real Time



It caught my fancy.

Real Time with Bill Maher tonight. His guests and panels provide food for hungry brains. What fun to hear a cogent point of view that doesn't necessarily coincide with my own. He gathers the pertinent people drifting in and out of our collective consciousness. Not necessarily the media magnets but high achievers known for their chosen fields.

Tonight Bill Bradley chatted with Bill Maher after the monologue, Mos Def and Salman Rushdie were the panelists, and Christopher Hitchens joined them later on. Quite a think tank. Mos Def ran rings around them all, masterfully communicating flashes of genius. But, then again, I usually come away feeling that way about the guests.

Just when I think I've got Maher figured out, he surprises me. Sometimes he's a little more self-satisfied than I find palateable but he has a fine, nimble mind that easily cuts through the cow pies.

Geometric origami



Are there any origami fans out there? The origami shapes by Cecila Cotton are different than the usual. And...she provides tutorials so they can be duplicated. I'll be keeping myself occupied occasionally playing with little bits paper!

Kay Stahler - artist



Oh my goodness! I stumbled across the cutest little pieces of art that I have seen in a very, long time. Kay Stahler's felted dogs are exquisite and amazing. This artist creates minature, needle felted replicas of owner's pets. If you would like to see more of her work or commission a miniature of your own pet, be sure to visit her web site at http://www.kaysk9s.com/

10 Irish stumbles

Did you ever hear the Irish song called The Orange and the Green? Well, that's story in our home. I am orange and my hubby is green.

Regardless of the division, we both celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Hubby's sister sent us some lovely flocked, stick-on shamrocks to wear for the day.

Since I was on vacation and didn't make up a Sunday stumble list, I thought I would do one for Saint Patrick's Day instead.
