Favorite Places

There are a number of great Web sites to visit. These are the ones I like:

• I spent a lot of my spare time volunteering for the needlework guilds. I was the founding chairman of the American Needlepoint Guild's (ANG) Internet Committee. I also belong to the Embroiderers' Guild of America (EGA), where I am Program Chairman for my local chapter -- the Merrimack Valley Chapter.
• Mailing lists were my first introduction to the world of the Internet beyond private email. Two of my favorites are FoodWine and DorothyL.
• The Internet Movie Database is a great resource for looking up all kinds of trivia.
• In the winter when snow is in the forecast, I like to to look at the weather radar to see what to expect.
• I enjoy doing the daily online puzzles from a variety of sources:
  • The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Montgomery Advertiser have whole collections of puzzles that change daily.
  • The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and the Chicago Sun Times each have a different daily crossword puzzle.
  • The Jig Zone features a large collection of jigsaw puzzles, with a new one every day.
  • The Houston Chronicle also has a daily jigsaw (and other) puzzle.
  • Solve online whodunits at MysteryNet.
• The Ultimates is a great way to find phone numbers, both for people and places.
• I like other funky things:
  • I found this site about googie architecture and found it just fascinating.  The background pattern is the same as the formica my parents used in the kitchen when my father built the house in 1956.
  • My favorite type of art and decoration is art deco and here's a great place to buy all things deco.
