The last slug

You know when you pour yourself a second cup of coffee and you get busy and forget to drink the last bit and you really want it but it has gotten cold and there is that crack of milk film on the top and you just KNOW that if you heat it up in the [...]

For the first time in a fucking long time…my darling Chica-poo slept. For 10 straight hours without waking once to scream “MOMMMMMM!” at the top of her lungs although I am a mere 8 feet away sleeping in the next room and can actually hear her when she whispers in her room. She woke up, [...]

Moving things with my mind

So thanks to my friend Debbi I see that my son is not making this up and his best friend does indeed think he can move things with his mind. This morning at breakfast at our favorite diner we convinced our spawn he too had special mind-meldingĀ  powers and used the butter knife to move [...]

3. Performing at the Folger Theater in DC is pretty amazing and live theater —there is nothing like it.
4. Sitting in [...]

The sun is hot but the sky is gray and thick. Children run amuck screaming to pull the awning down on top of us. Confessions and secrets spill although we barely know each other. Maybe the connections across state lines make us feel more familiar. I have always been able to chat people up and [...]

Busy squirrels

Today, all of a sudden, the squirrels in my area are scurrying around like mad, stuffing their faces and running around hiding their cache of food. On campus today I must have seen at least 20 squirrels in a small patch of grass digging, rooting, munching and racing around clutching food in their tiny claws.

Science is my bitch

It appears I am not a good judge on my test taking abilities and have to take back my previous pronouncement that science sucks…it may but I DO NOT. My teacher even added my score incorrectly and I got a bonus extra 2 points. I would feel guilty over that but I actually changed 2 [...]
