You probably need a sense of humor and a certain playful attitude toward life and the world around us to appreciate my blog. If you lack either of these, perhaps you can download them from the internet. If you've been here, I'd love to know - please leave me a 'comment.'
I ran across a Glossary of Hard Boiled Slang the other day on the internet. Quite fun – but under copyright, so you’ll have to look at it yourself. It follows all the old 'gumshoe' novels and their colorful substitutions for dire consequences... 'swimming with the fishes' and so on.
Just a suggestion for your amusement.

I started blogging when I moved from California to Kentucky – bit of a culture shock there, I’m afraid – and was having a mid-life crisis of sorts. What to do? Build a life of family, home and volunteering? Try to re-enter the job market? I thought that writing about things, something I’ve always liked to do, would help me sort it all out; help me out of my life as a recluse. “Cathy without a plan” was born. But I got sidetracked. I couldn’t resist commenting on the news, on books I’ve read, people I’ve observed, life’s absurdities, and all manner of other things. I really haven’t been doing much ‘planning’ at all. Oh well. And in the meantime, I moved again – back to the west coast – and now have a whole new set of adventures that are surely interfering with serious planning. So I'm unsettled, indecisive and wishy-washy about what I should do ‘next'... which seems to suit me after all. I used to be one of life’s great planners. But now here I am, happily, "Cathy without a plan."
