I am waiting in a little corner of the Dulles airport, listening to various disembodied voices telling me that I will be getting home later than I think. Much, much later. Thanks to Google and their offer of free wifi in most airports, I am sitting in this little corner alternating between hitting refresh on [...]

There are times when you just have to face the facts of a situation, and cut someone loose.  It could be a friend, a relative, a co-worker; it could be that you’ve grown apart, that you never had that much in common in the first place, that you’ve grown weary of the one-sided nature of [...]

I have found my passport, and have checked to make sure that it is not expiring anytime soon. I have my card capper, my gold hammer pin and a US$ credit card set aside on the part of my desk now unofficially known as “crap to take to Vegas”. There are still lots of things [...]

To those who have commented, emailed or texted me lately and have received no response, I am both thankful for the thoughts and and sorry that I have not replied. My mind has been elsewhere, and unless it’s done with the immediacy of Twitter or IMs, it’s just not happening. Hopefully my mind will be [...]

This week has been awful, in ways both small and great. Pipe leak equaled no hot water one day, to fix it they had to turn off all power another day. I hurt my back so badly I could not go to work and spent two days laying on the floor and watching Firefly and [...]

I feel about a hundred years old today. No, really. I’m not exaggerating. Well, maybe. But just a little. Yesterday, Keith and I went to help Taylor and Tawny landscape their backyard. And this morning, I feel every wheelbarrow of gravel shoveled and every patio stone lifted. Except for the throbbing of my now yellow [...]

So I’ve been back from Okie for three days, and have found two things that if I’d seen them earlier, I could have had sent there and brought home with no problem. Ah well. Such is life as me dad used to say. One is a ginger liquer that is only available in some states [...]

I took very few pictures last weekend at Okie Vegas IV. As I get older, I realize I’d rather experience than document, and so let others wave their cameras around and do my damnedest to stay out of the lens’ way. I drank no shots. Yes, you read right; no shots. Getting stupid, fall-down drunk [...]

I had a dental appointment this morning at nine. I was there. They weren’t. So I went home. It’s like getting a get-out-of-jail-free card. Yeah, yeah, I know, it only delays the inevitable. I am just as happy to reschedule until after I return from Okie Vegas. This time tomorrow I will be in the [...]

My last post was 3 weeks ago you say? Good grief, where does the time go? Sometimes I have to go backward before I can go forward. Of course, it’s not like I have to pull an OhCaptain and go three months back *grin. ********** Three weekends past. Three weekends ago was the all-girl cottage [...]
