Photo: Since I’m in the process of selling off all of my posessions, my friend Linda sent this photo to me as a joke! I used to say that my cat, Palucci, had love for only one person; that person used to be me. However, when I decided to do my long term travel last […]

Travel by Numbers

I must admit, I went to school for Accounting, why – I have no idea. “Hello my name is Sherry and I’m a bean counter.” Yeah – it never quite fit me, nor my personality, which is probably how I ended up in Information Technology. However, there was something about numbers that I liked which […]

And on the last day

They say, don’t blog when you are angry…I’m not sure what they say about blogging when you are depressed, I’m sure it’s the same advice. However – I have to get this out as it has nowhere to go. I feel like my insides are all bottled up and someone just shook me up today […]
