I feel like I’m on a roller coaster. One moment I’m restless, fidgeting, unable to sit still, too full of energy and wanting desperately for something, anything to happen. The next moment it is as if I have run into a solid wall of exhaustion and I can barely think, let alone focus on anything. […]
My family names things. The microwave has a name. My mom’s stone goose has a name. The computer has a name, as does the vacuum cleaner, and of course all cars in our family have names. The name itself is important, since once the appliance / vehicle gets the name, that’s the way it […]
A few months ago, a small horde of us descended upon San Francisco, and after a rather fattening and laugh-saturated lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, we went to see Stomp. I loved it. A bunch of folks dancing and slapping and stomping and banging and making music on all sorts of bizarre things like kitchen […]
I feel as if I’m poised on a cliff again. I’m standing at the very beginning of things. There is a knot in my stomach and my hands are shaking. I’m more nervous than I can remember being in a very long time. You wouldn’t think a simple phone call would do this to me, […]
I received this in email from the woman who was my Cadette and Senior Girl Scout troop leader back when I was in high school. As per her (and her father’s) request, I’m distributing this outward, posting this in lieu of an entry, just because it’s something to think about. I too have read the […]
I have been frustrated at the lack of time I have had in the past four to five months for exercise. I would dearly love to start up Tae Kwon Do again (okay I’m hopelessly uncoordinated and look like a crippled moose when I do front kicks, but at least it’s a fun workout). However, […]
We went to see a play Friday night - the second in the season for the local theater company from which we purchased season tickets. The first play was Chess, which we really enjoyed. This one, however, was a different story. They did Oliver. Or perhaps I should say, they *tried* to do Oliver. My […]
t was late at night, the fog so thick that she could barely see, huddled forward over the steering wheel, trying to peer an extra few feet into the murk in front of her, only able to see shapes when they were nearly upon her, like the shadowy figures that suddenly appeared, one at a […]
Sitting in traffic yesterday morning, I saw a man flossing his teeth. It struck me as more than a bit odd, until I pondered the fact that he probably is stuck in this same traffic every morning. I suppose at least he’s doing something productive with the time.
I was in traffic because I had to […]
This afternoon my mom and I did our monthly wedding planning meeting. We sat down and hashed out a reasonably firm guest list, and then revisited the whole issue of where to hold the reception. This decision is a bit complicated by some of the ideas my mom’s had for the entertainment. I’m not so […]
