My Google Reader gleaned only 1 post this morning (thank you, Ragtop), so instead of getting dressed for work, I’m sitting here on my bed, watching the US men’s soccer team beat the Japanese in a well-played game with too many called and uncalled penalties IMHO, sharing little bits. One more trip to Vermont in […]
Little bits…
How strange to watch an earthquake in my birth state as I sit safe and unshaken in Massachusetts. I have been through bigger, but this was probably a good wake-up call for complacent Californians. The good news is that the building upgrades seem to have worked! The Boy accepted a job offer yesterday…he will be […]
Cosmic light show…
WOW! As I sat at my desk in the 2nd floor converted sunporch of my office building yesterday (a wall of windows on three sides), the sky went dark and lightning started to flash…suddenly I was treated to a big ol’ mid summer thunderstorm…up close and personal. At the height of it, lightning struck somewhere […]
Auditions…
As we move toward the traditional community theater fall show audition period, I have to decide how I want to spend my evenings between now and November. My group isn’t doing a show with a part for me (although I’m trying to talk the director into cross-casting a part), so I’m looking around…something I haven’t […]
Wilting…
I went downstairs to make my morning coffee and looked out on the deck. I saw an ocean of wilting, dispirited looking plants. The tomatoes and basil were the worst. So, before I even had my first cup, I played Mother Nature and rained on all the deck plants. Our poor veggies are so far […]
The ides of July…
I am having trouble coming to grips with the fact that we are already over half way through 2008. ACK! Work is always slow in the summer, this summer being no exception. Too many hours in the work day to try to fill. I have gotten addicted to podcasts on my Zune. I’m worried, though, […]
They are never too old…
All right, just so you know…I am always telling friends who are parents of young kids that I am so glad I am past that. My life is now my own, I love my children from afar, blah blah blah. I paid for that remark last night. A has spent the last few days at […]
Back to work…
Coming back into the office after a week away is always an eye-opener. My office is a mess. I have boxes of files everywhere, waiting for me to move the boxes of files that I have already closed out into the garage, so I can move the boxes on my floor out to where the […]
Home again, home again…
Bags are still packed, full of dirty clothes; the mail is piled up on the kitchen counter; the weeds have taken over all the gardens…sure sign of the return from a week’s vacation. We managed to make the bed before we fell into it…a good sleep, the first night home in our own bed with […]
I love vacation…
Our week has started off beautifully. We picked up the b-i-l and s-i-l at the airport Saturday (they flew New Zealand to LA to New Orleans to Mexico City to Dulles to Maine, with a few days here and there before arriving in Maine)…it is always so good to see them and to listen to […]
