Ironing out the wrinkles: I love Forbes.com.

I love Forbes.com.

I am a very visual person and I really like Forbes for the integration of pictures in their articles online. Check out this slide show of the top clean cities in the world.

Just click the dinosaur below.

While I have lived in one of these cities and worked in 3 others I am disappointed to say I don’t live in a clean city now. I guess our city’s light rail transit, park systems and recycling programs don’t add up enough or they forgot to put us on the list to start with.

My Wrinkles

I have a good memory. A very good memory and sometimes it can get me into trouble. I often remember things people forget and sometimes I remember things that people think are embarrassing but don't release it. Sorry in advance to those.

One of my strongest memories is me sitting on hardwood floor in our living room watching my mother iron. The air was filled with the crisp smell of spray starch as she spritzed the tea towels. She watched intently as Nicole embraced Adam Drake on the television. The iron hissed as my mother sighed.

I remember asking her why she watched ‘The Edge of Night’. "Are real people like that?" I said. She replied that real people watched soap operas because they wanted excitement like the characters they see on the show. "Real everyday lives can be boring," she said.

She was very wrong...
