Who knew? Here, I’ve been trying to figure out feed burner & all these new-fangled ways to allow people to subscribe to my blog when all along WordPress has an RSS feed function built in. Look up. See, the line with the web address in it? Look all the way over to the right. See a blue box that says RSS? In a minute, click on it. First, you need to know what to do. It will take... Read more
Recycled blog, from August 23, 2006, I love Detroit… someone gave me free passes to see a sneak peak of “Gridiron,” a movie coming out in a couple of weeks starring the Rock. Man oh man, it’s about inner city kids who go to juvi & start playing football. The football gives them hope & many of them go on to school… some to jail & some to die on the streets. All based on a true story. I drove... Read more
I’m sorry blogging friends! I feel like I’m letting you done with all these lame blogs about my giving up caffeine & such. I’ve had a lot on my mind lately & haven’t been able to keep up with my desired blogging pace of one-a-day. Or if I do, it’s short, lame & devoid of depth. Anyway, I’m going away for the weekend to deal with racial reconciliation so lots more deep & thoughtful blogs to come. In addition to... Read more
I’m off caffeine for 7 days now. I was pretty seriously addicted with my morning cup of joe, super-sized lunch Diet Cherry Coke & dinner Diet Dr. Pepper . Now, I’m just falling asleep all over the place & yawning almost non-stop, but hey I’m making it! Even the with-drawl headaches have lessened. It’s a great day for orange juice! Read more
My sweet little man came up to me yesterday & asked innocently, “Mama, do you know what the most wonderful thing about Ransom is?” I responded, “what is it, pumkin?” He says, “I’m the only one.” So cute! Of course, he snatched this line right from Tigger -yes, of Winnie the Pooh fame- who uses that line in many Pooh books & cartoons. He even has a jingle… (“wonderful thing about Tiggers, Tiggers’ a wonderful thing, ….. bottoms are made... Read more
If you don’t believe me now after Slumdog swept the Oscars with 8 wins, you never will. This was a great, touching, lovely movie that I must see again in the theatre. I was so happy to see the little movie that could win over & over & over again. It was great to see -as my friend Ram said- “a bunch of brown people” on stage. At the end there was like 30 Indians on stage to collect... Read more
The cartoon was posted in the NY Post, not the NY Times as I stated. I must apologize for my own stupidity. Read more
What is your opinion on the NY Times cartoon causing such a stir? Many have protested about the racism of the cartoon, while the NY Times & the cartoonist, Delonas say the dead chimp is a mere cross reference to the popular news story last week of the chimp who went pyscho & was shot to death by cops AND those who advocate the stimulus bill. This morning the NY Times released what I think is a mis-guided apology. You... Read more
Okay, I’ve finally caved & joined Twitter –must be cool now! (or, just went down hill). Anyhoo, I have no friends followers, so please come follow me… After I quit being very frustrated with technology, I will get it set up here on my blog. find me at: gracebiskie –do you like my very creative username?

I’ve been toiling for months about whether or not to ditch MySpace. Alas, the pack-rat in me just cannot let it go… all of my videos & pictures & old blogs are housed there… it’s like my favorite junk closet I never want to look at but always want to keep. Anyhoo, If I’m going to keep it, may as well embrace it, huh? I’ve now taken off all my privacy settings, so friend me! I updated my profile, pic... Read more
