Memorial
Sprung early after moving into my new, amazing office with a window, but planning to return to bring my plants and decide what art stays and what goes. Dear Grandchildren I Guess I Might Get to Know After All, just a quick positive update heading into a long Memorial Day weekend.…

Sand Pebbles
He told me so. I was on the bus this morning and I was slightly weary from my last-minute-stayed-longer-than-I’d-planned happy hour yesterday afternoon to send Christine to California in style (see earlier posting on Tigger). But, I was upbeat this a.m. and I couldn’t help say to myself, like, hey, today’s going to be OK. But…

Mixed messaging
I’m like this little killdeer, running around with my wings down, crying and limping to draw the threat away from the truth. At least as a metaphor. Me? My ruse is happy and joyful and misleading. I hand them assumptions because they swallow them without question — it makes more sense — and it keeps me…

Weeks that make you go ‘hmmmm,’ in another run-on sentence or two (or three)
I got stuck in the elevator today while heading down to get a breath of fresh air (which even after I escaped the lift didn’t come to fruition because there were smokers everywhere outside the building) and as I tried to head back up I realized I didn’t have my key card for…

Choke
“What the hell do you mean by that?” Ellen and I were sitting under the umbrella on the patio at the pizzeria sucking down wine and mussels. She’s abandoning me, that one is, in July. We have to get in as many happy hours as humanly possible before then. “It’s…

‘A dilettante’
Oooh! An astrological chart about me! Only me! This one takes into consideration not only my sign, but the day, time, location and year of my birth. I am a typical Libra, this I already knew. I’m accustomed to hearing how I like and promote harmony, I tend to weigh things carefully…

Terror at the computer place
D, Edisonsblackdahlia and I stood and waited as the portly dude behind the computer care counter helped the couple before us. He looked at us nervously and said he’d be right with us, but his customers’ problems were significant so he eventually called for backup that never came. We just…

Someone — who shall remain nameless here — totally sold me out
The bell rings and I know who it is and so I fling open the door and as they pull back the screen and step toward me I don’t bother with “Hello” — even though I am surprised and delighted to see Rafe has joined Gabriel on this morning’s visit —…

Color commentary from GDA about Tripping Raul
Oh, why not. I’d originally sneaked on here to document my observations of Tripping Raul while TR was raging because some person let her down. (Yawn) She caught me and pulled it off-line. Yet, since I have this date secured and titled, might as well play on this a bit. I’ll…
At Least They're Committed
