The Other
He shifts his weight from his left to his right. “There are three,” he says to the Other. “Two just hang there, waiting, drooling: stray canines pining for a piece of flesh.” The Other looks out the window at the blowing snow; chunks of untouched white stuff breaking free and sliding…

Plaaaaaytime!
There’s ever so much I should be doing, but I think instead I’ll sit here and prattle onward and play with my imaginary friends. I’m twisting back and forth in my chair, my head slightly tilted to the side. I can seeeee my reflection in the window and I look OK,…

Patti!
Got a call from my auntie! Her voice was loud, yelling amid the chaos around her. “We’re taking off from the port in San Diego!” she screamed. “It’s beautiful! I just had to share it with you!” She was back in her element! I squealed with delight! So joyous she…

Grandpa Grandpa
44 minutes and 30 seconds to Grandpa Grandpa!!! I’m so excited! “Then why are you grimacing,” oh, gads, didn’t see him pop up. “Pthththttttt! I have no idea,” I say. “Well, find an idea,” he presses. I sigh and sit back in my chair. 41 minutes, 47 seconds! Grandpa Grandpa, actually…

10 days
I had wondered. Maybe it took longer than I thought; maybe it didn’t. Ten days. Black, black liner and shadow encase my eyes, the whites and blue a stark foreboding contrast. Gray rouge, purple lips, I stare out the screen at the chirping squirrels, chiding, tempting my dogs to try,…

Rich
Ugh. About to put Rich’s obit on the internal communication newsletter and I popped open the photo and it wasn’t the one where he’s talking to prospective students, with his lips moving and his eyes turned. It’s a black and white and his dark eyes are staring right at me and smiling like…

10 minutes!
There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead. And when she was good, she was very, very good. And when she was bad she was horrid. 😉 Mmmmmartini time!

What girls are for
Micheline kept saying that we should sing, but of course we shouldn’t sing because we were at lunch to celebrate Erica’s and Karen’s birthdays and they didn’t want us to sing and, for that matter, I didn’t want to sing. We did laugh a lot and there was some singing,…
