Beck: Modern Guilt on the Ride to Work

  Yeah… so… it has been a stressful week, but the pay off is probably worth while.  Smiles… The work thing.  My other half and I don’t work very far from each other, so we have this great perk of carpooling to work together.  You may think I’m just saying that, but it is probably [...]

Got a Few Million? – Buy the biggest record collection in the world

Still working through that work thing… so I’ll leave you with a link today, although a pretty cool one — DV – I have more vinyl than a normal person would.  I used to collect records, so this story had special nostalgia for me.  If you collect music or records give this one a read… [...]

Three Little Birds: My Semi-Personal Bob Marley Story

I was listening to an old CD mix of mine while riding down the road in the last few weeks. I had heard some songs that reminded me of kind of a Buddhist bent. One of them is a Bob Marley tune that I have just always loved: Three little birds. OK, I realize this [...]

Dharma’s Mom’s Yummy Stuffed Peppers with Anchovies

It couldn’t have been hearing Alabama or Kansas, because we had not been listening to [...]

What will they research next? – Names for …

I’m going to wimp out on you tonight, and this weekend, as I prepare for something job related.  It’s all good… Tonight, I will leave you with someone else’s interesting post, which is interesting. But it leaves me wondering, “what will they research next?”  The following URL gives a geography based on names people ascribe [...]

WTG: What’s this Free Hug Thing? – The Cynical Side of Dharma

  I caught a video on the Internet.  It made me thinking of something… -DV – So we headed off to Bumbershoot, and when we get there, on various days, I noticed a few people walking around with “Free Hug” signs. This story is about a few of those people I observed at the festival. [...]
