That darn writing group

2008-10-21T04:09:27Z

Well if you want to write, you should hang around with writers. It only stands to reason, It isn't rocket science ( what is rocket science,one wonders?). As a sometimes resident of this small city, I thought maybe the writing group would be terri...

For DEB

2008-10-21T03:53:50Z

This week my friend DEB passed away after a short but serious illness. It wasn't fair to lose her so soon after recently reconnecting, there was supposed to be lots of time while she recuperated. I have reflected on the privilege it is to be part...

Endless travel but it's spectacular

2008-09-15T06:38:28Z

Ten years ago I stopped commuting from one municipality to another on a daily basis, and was shocked to realize how much time and energy I had. Living and working in the same time space continuum had a rejuvenating effect, and I vowed I would nev...

The pressure is unbearable

2008-09-11T05:45:34Z

But I really should be here writing. I'm not actually under any pressure, I just seem to have these keener friends and loved ones who are nudging, some not so gently. So alright already - I'm here. Yes, I've missed writing as much as you've missed...

Letting go a little at a time

2008-04-04T01:03:07Z

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for change, but lately the pace is picking up, like I'm in the fast lane, when really I want to be walking down the boardwalk at a leisurely stroll to the beach. I want generous heaps of time that is unstructured to sa...

Up the down staircase

2008-03-12T00:04:53Z

I strolled campus to run a few errands in the midday sunshine. Strolling is not yet the casual pastime of yore, as my gammy leg still is untrustworthy, and much vexed by the 30 cm of snow received over the weekend. The rivulets, streams and mounta...

High hilarity

2008-03-03T04:21:20Z

Things are getting out of control, and the solution seems to be massive amounts of hilarity around here. My partner and I are spending lots of time together, focusing on the task at hand ( and the mounting lists of tasks at hand, to be more accura...

Hurry up and wait

2008-02-09T21:34:30Z

I know life is like this sometimes, but I don't like it . telling me it gets better doesn't help - I am impatient. I want it now. I want to know. I need some reassurance. This living dangerously, flying by the seat of my pants thing is not for me....

Snug gonads

2008-01-20T21:21:16Z

I'm increasingly ambivalent about what has happened to the joy of Scrabble since it became Scrabulous. I rarely win at either, and yet I feel compelled to play because dear ones invite me to games, and procede to whup my butt. What I never exper...

Hopping along just fine

2007-12-27T14:24:26Z

Well, this is a myth. You actually can't hop or lurch when you're in crutches without maiming or straining some other body part other than the one that put you in the crutches in the first place. Once you've mastered the aluminum crutches, and lea...
