My fourth grade teacher walked around our classroom one day with an old, burgundy velvet bag. “Reach in and choose something”, she said.

The magic of it was that it was a free, adventurous, “who knew where it would end up” creative experience.

Mirrors can make the greatest change of all. There is nothing that can date a home more than the look of an older bathroom or kitchen. Yet if you’re anything like us, the thought of remodeling any part of the house is a frightening and disruptive process. When we moved into our home here in Santa Clarita over 18 years ago, all of the new homes had those large, flat mirrors over the bathroom vanity. You know the ones we’re talking about.

The months are flying and everyone is hurrying to get income taxes filed hoping there will be a return from the federal government. In the last few months I have written about the need for the city of Santa Clarita to create an Art Center or a Art Museum, either one would be appreciated.

Thru my travels, there is a woman who I run into every once in a while. This is not just any woman; she is an 11, on a scale of one to 10, the kind of woman that made me stutter, when I talked to her. Well, one day I got the courage up to ask her out, and no, I did not stutter. To my surprise she said yes. We went out and had a great time, so we decided to go on a second date. I took her out to a very nice place for dinner, no not McDonalds. The date went great, we talked for hours, but when it was time to say goodnight, I had the feeling that she was not into me, as I was in her. So I decided not to pursue her anymore.
