I’ve found a new website. I’m redesigning this one. FINALLY. It’s taking forever. But this is a short post just to say that summer is ending far too soon, I’m using “grok” a lot these days when I talk to people, and that there are interesting things on the horizon. Stay tuned. Summertime Swing by [...]
The last person in the world who should be reviewing a Cirque du Soleil show is me. Most of what I want to say about it is wow and amazeballs and holy god they are some limber people. It would end up being a rather amateur critique. But I’m going to do my best here. [...]
I am hardly a gardener but I have inherited a fantastic array of plants and flowers that I know almost nothing about. The one year anniversary of moving into this house just past last weekend and this year it seems that I am paying far more attention to what is growing in my yard. Unless [...]
Last week my friend Alex sent me this giant time sucker of a website called That Can Be My Next Tweet and it sort of summed up all my thoughts from this past week when I didn’t have so much work to do and chronicled my life. It was pretty fun to play with it [...]

Do you remember junior high? It isn’t looked upon kindly by most adults because they hold memories for us that include hair growing from new places, squeaky voices, and a face full of zits. It’s Nature’s Cruel Joke to have our bodies change at the same time young brains are switching over to maturity and [...]
My personal style is changing. In fact, it is ever changing and I love that about myself. As I hurl towards my 40s (next year, people! Don’t get too excited to wish me a happy birthday just yet!) I am finding myself giddy about becoming a new person. A better person. Oh, hell. A phenomenal [...]
When my sister became a grandmother I took pleasure in teasing her quite a bit, but she says she was ready for it even though she’s a mere 40. Last weekend I visited with my family in Chicago and took my good camera (I have a point and shoot as well) and decided that I [...]
I love reading other blog posts that describe what the do when they’re on vacation. Skiing, hiking, and ziplining or some such nonsense. Isn’t ziplining a word? I thought that’s what it was called, but since I’m terribly uncultured in the art of vacation it’s just a crapshoot. My version of a vacation is usually [...]
There’s no easy way to sum up the events in my life lately other than by numbering them because if I even attempted to put them in narrative form the jumbled mess would betray my ability to use paragraphs and then my former English professors would turn over in their graves (oh, I hope they’re [...]
