Carol's Corner: July 2014
http://brimleycorner.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2014. Not much, but something. Just so you know, the beagle does bark in the daytime, like right now. His pals are barking with him. The Orkin guy was just here, Tim. A plain guy, simple, and I like him. He sprayed under my sink and then went outside to "spray the heck out of it" back there where it's always wet in the summer. It's to kill those tiny black insects that come up in my sinks every summer. When I say tiny, think tinier than you're thinking. Monday, July 28, 2014. Clarks li...

Carol's Corner: Ponderables
http://brimleycorner.blogspot.com/2015/07/ponderables.html
Saturday, July 4, 2015. I misplaced my phone today. When I had a home phone (land line) I never misplaced it. I made yum-yums today. They require 12 whole graham crackers. I had only 11 3/4. The yum-yums are just fine. Maybe I'll change the recipe. Just kidding. Back story:The first time I tasted yum-yums was decades ago. My mother-in-law made them. They're good. We all like them. So I began making them. Then one day it was ten to a package. Brother! That is what we have now. Nine. July 4, 2015 at 8:21 PM.

Saturday, June 6, 2015. The Big Wind. Think Bigger. Who knows about the weather? Richard says being a weather person- you know reporter and prognosticator- is the only job where you can be wrong most of the time and still make a good living at it. Maybe I'd list doctors next. But let's pretend I didn't say that. But wait. It gets bigger. Andrew sawed and cut and I carried sections of it to the trash can, which is now full. But neither of us thought at first that we could get all of it in one can....Thank...

Carol's Corner: August 2015

Wednesday, August 26, 2015. Everyone has a story. Believe me. She was at BYU that week for the same reason I was, Education Week. We were two of the 23,000 who came for five days to learn. She was scouting out the place, too, finding out that she really does want to go to school there, and because she is a bright young woman and was nearly finished with the application process, I thought i. T very likely she would soon be a BYU student. But the story is not so simple. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. That stran...

Saturday, August 30, 2014. WWII History At Ayres Avenue. What day, exactly, I began hearing the booming of big guns offshore I do not know. We lived on Ayres Avenue, 10600, in West Los Angeles, and I was a child of four, that I do know. This means it was 1945. No one had to tell me what the guns were. They were the war, and I thought it had come to California. Before that I knew only bits and could make little sense of them. FDR The adults I knew had no use for him. The guns must have stopped then. After...

Friday, January 9, 2015. Open letter to Canada Post. What is wrong with you people? Why does it take more than two weeks for you to deliver a card or letter or package? I'm sure what I send to Canada gets to the border in one or two DAYS. Then what do you do with it? Can you not read? Do you have no little trucks to carry the mail? Do you have only one employee? Do you simply not give a fig? Do you steal the stuff that looks good? Do you even know what I'm talking about? And I mean it. 2: Oh, so did I.

Carol's Corner: March 2015

Friday, March 13, 2015. My son Andrew was born two days and 44 years ago. I baked some bread for him the day before and took it to his house, where he had been all day because of his foot. But this is not about that, although I do think he should have the foot x-rayed. Not exactly about his foot. This is about him, Andrew, my fourth child, third son. I should say our son, his dad's and mine. Inconvenient for my mother? Tuesday, March 3, 2015. The Name Is Lola. Yesterday was my mother's birthday, March 2,...

Monday, November 24, 2014. Speaking of overused,. What about our* old favorite, awesome. By "our" I don't mean "mine." I mean it's ubiquitous. You know it is. And overused. Saturday, November 22, 2014. As in when you're talking to the dr's scheduler to make an appointment. For instance,. Scheduler: Can you spell your last name for me? Me: S c h i e s s. Scheduler: Perfect. And what's your birth date? Me: 9 2 40. Saturday, November 15, 2014. Really, I'm fine. Night falls, but morning breaks. So yesterday,...
