Ticking to a Different Tock: January 2012
http://groovy-yank.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Ticking to a Different Tock. The ups, downs and oddities of life. Tuesday, 31 January 2012. Sh*t Journalists Say (more or less). Ah, memories. Oddly, it doesn't include slamming down the phone/storming in and spewing forth the kind of profanity that would make a sailor stand up and salute. Ah well, maybe that's for the next vid. This was made by the good folks at Stuff Journalists Like. Posted by Groovy Yank. Links to this post. Saturday, 28 January 2012. Haiku to the working man. OK, my dawn is at 8).

Ticking to a Different Tock. The ups, downs and oddities of life. Wednesday, 14 August 2013. Europe's love/hate relationship with America - it's not just for breakfast anymore. It's all a bit confusing and I've never been sure exactly how to explain it to those who haven't witnessed this split personality firsthand. Thanks to British writer A. A. Gill, I don't have to - he's gone and done it himself, a whole book's worth of explaining in "To America with Love.". Go on with your bad self, Mr. Gill!

Ticking to a Different Tock. The ups, downs and oddities of life. Saturday, 28 July 2012. The cemetery at Cemetery Junction. Also called the cemetery at Cemetery Junction due to its location, is interesting and large, with rambling passages, timeworn tombs and monuments, and a smattering of deer and cats to keep watch on the departed. And yes, the Cemetery Junction in question is the one for which Ricky Gervais named a film. Here are some pictures from my visit there in May. Posted by Groovy Yank.

Ticking to a Different Tock. The ups, downs and oddities of life. Wednesday, 14 November 2012. Kindle book deals rock. I love my Kindle. And I love a bargain. Here are a few deals I found that combine the two for folks who use Amazon in the States:. Celebrating and Savoring A Simple Christmas. Is just .99 through Thursday. I grabbed one for some tips and hopefully some stress-free recipes! Check out the Kindle Daily Deal. Is a freebie - that's a price I can really get behind! Posted by Groovy Yank.

Ticking to a Different Tock. The ups, downs and oddities of life. Friday, 8 February 2013. I've got big news. It's actually old news, but it's new to y'all. I moved back to the States over the summer. It's been so hectic and stressful and just so everything that I never posted about it before now. But here we are, settled in mid-America. Sort of. How's that for a shocker? And it's been a stress bonanza. Posted by Groovy Yank. Note: only a member of this blog may post a comment. What it's all about. Satur...

Ticking to a Different Tock. The ups, downs and oddities of life. Thursday, 13 March 2014. 80s memories "Call Me" as cellphone milestone "Rocks (Me) Like a Hurricane" (or whatever). Still, that little warm hum of wistfulness sneaks in when I think back, casting a soft glow and long shadow. What wasn't to love (if you ignored any negatives, obviously)? We had Stripes, Caddyshack and Ghostbusters in theaters, all by 1984 (RIP Harold Ramis. Fast forward to today (well, last week, actually) and I just bought...

I sure hadn't, but that's what came up when I Googled "underwater plants" in search of what that lush greenery undulating just below the surface in the canal might be.
