Blogging away

Per instructions visited the TeVA and Nashville Public Library web sites. I was looking for old photographs relating to the Tennessee Valley Authority, Senator Norris, et al and was unable to find them. Did download a picture of some girl singers from the Grand Ole Opry performing in McMinnville and will try to add them to my blog. Wish me luck!

Way to go Al

Happy this morning at the news that Al Gore has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, making him the 4th US President/Vice President to win this prestigious honor. For those keeping score it's Democrats 3 (Gore, Carter, Wilson) Republicans 1 (Teddy Roosevelt). What are the odds that W would ever win the Peace Prize. More likely the War prize although in his case the prize would be dubious, thousands of lost lives, billions of wasted dollars and a ruined reputation for the United States as a bastion of freedom. So there.

Busy busy busy

Exploring the highways and byways of the web takes you in many different directions. In the past two days I have posted a picture on Flickr and perused the group called Nighthawk. Then I visited the Nashville Public Library site and learned about RSS and bloglines. I'm now a proud bloglines subscriber interested the sub group liberal politico....go Hillary!

A peek into the past

From the 21st Century turning back the clock to the 19th Century with a visit to the very excellent P4Antiques database via Linebaugh.org. Discovered to no great surprise that the two pieces of furniture handed down to me by my grandparents via my parents - a marble-top commode and a platform rocker - have some value - sentimental to me, perhaps monitarily to my daughter who shall one day inherit them. Her taste leans toward Ikea so they might struggle to find a place in her abode.

Voyage into cyberspace

10...9...8...7...6...5...4....3....2....1....whoosh. And thus begins this journey into cyberspace. Over the coming days, weeks, months and dare we say years I hope to add to this space by feelings and thoughts and certainly my opinions. Sublimity and ridiculousness, religion and politics, theater, movies and certainly books will be discussed. Outside opinions will be welcomed. Wit and tolerance will be applauded, narrow-mindedness and stupidity will be ignored. The author is a hard-core liberal and a fierce feminist. Certainly opinionated, easily amused.
