We have had the usual things today - getting up too early (thank you cats), hastily casting on for another pair of socks because I needed a portable project to bring with me for Sunday School, choir practice, the last session of ‘The Gospel According to Seuss’, where we took on ‘The Sneetches’ and ‘The […]
When I was putting on my pants this morning I noticed that the zipper tab was a little lopsided and wouldn’t fold down all the way. I fought with it for a little bit and didn’t think any more about it until I got to work, and - as I usually do at least once […]
I do not know why this always happens. I admit quite freely that I am a procrastinator, but when it comes to knitting projects I’ve actually been pretty good about getting started early enough so I have time to finish. This is likely because knitting is fun, unlike doing taxes, writing term papers, or cleaning […]
There are times when sometimes I wish I hadn’t ever made this journal public; where I wish I had come at this completely anonymously so that I could then talk about things that maybe I shouldn’t really be discussing in such a public setting. And there are times when I wish that I had magical […]
No one will ever accuse me of being graceful. If there’s a piece of furniture in the room that is at shin or knee height, it is a guarantee that I will eventually slam into it. If there is a cupboard door open, I will inevitably smack it with my head. If there is something […]
Now that it’s May, that means things have kicked into high gear with the church choir.

It was kind of a crazy day today. It started far too early in the morning, since our recorder group meets at 8:30, and then the instrumental ensemble had to rehearse – a much smaller group than we usually have, but all the parts were represented and so somehow it managed to work. At the […]
The latest offering of the Davis Musical Theater Company (which we saw Mother’s Day weekend) was “Don Quixote”. It’s a play I’ve never seen before, and I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, since it’s been a few years since I read the book. Unlike most plays, all the action takes place in exactly one […]
I suppose it was too good to last, this avoidance of colds and sinus infections and all the joy that comes therein. With the way the weather has been swinging from cold to hot and then back again these past few weeks, the unseasonably late rain storms, and the resulting rapid growth and release of […]
Richard’s little sister got a job with a local Gaslighter theater, playing a part in the matinee melodrama for the summer. So after a few false starts and rearrangement of plans, we finally made it down there this afternoon.
Because traffic in the Bay Area is unpredictable and timing a trip down to his parents is […]
