Line of Luck

Today is Friday.  And the 13th day of the month.  Yes, Friday the 13th.  How fitting that today is also my 13th post on this blog.  Lucky?  Unlucky?  Should I find a rabbit’s foot or maybe be wearing my shamrock socks (Yes, I do have some thanks to my brother being married on that day! […]

I still remember one distinct conversation with my sister in the kitchen when we were younger.  I think I was a young teenager but still was old enough to know better.  I was trying to convince her of something to her and probably was not letting the topic go (I tend to do that sometimes).  […]

Long Line of Leavers

I decided that for my first “Lines on a Staff” favorite albums/songs post to use the one title that actually contains the word “line” was fitting!  I randomly stumbled on this Caedmon’s Call cd on sale one time.  The rest of the album is good, but I often do not manage to make it past […]

Lines on a page and lines on a staff

I think I have always been a lover of books.  When I worked at a restaurant in high school, I would laugh when I saw younger girls reading their chapter books at the table – that was definitely me.  Still is, although I try not to read when my family is around.  At least not […]
