This mantra I hear all the time, or see all the time, repeated by seemingly intelligent folks, “I don’t feel any older now than I did at the age of INSERT AGE HERE (usually 15, 21, 25, some obnoxiously young year.) It’s said by Baby Boomers, Generation X, Y, Slackers, Post Slackers, Get Your Ass [...]

And I thought the bathrobe for PJM was colorformic and less than well-thought out, and, no, obviously I have no dog in that fight, I’m a nobody, but it’s fun to look at what folks with a little bit of money won’t spend it on. Check out Novasure
You gotchur blood and guts on a monthly [...]

Monday was Monday. Work. Home. Yell at kid over phone. Gnash and stew and growl about kids. Fall asleep on couch at 8:30. Woke up at 1AM and tried to read The Fountainhead. It’s very stilted, pretentious and dated.
Went back to bed and the cat, who had been stuck in the garage whoknowshoworwhy, snuggled [...]

Assuming you believe in eternity, that what is happening/has happened is already a done deal, which takes a lot of pressure off in some things regarding choices and who loves you and adds other pressures on choices and who you love, but, regardless. I was poking around in my dining room, the repository for art [...]

If you hear of a story of a suburban woman entangled in a crisped pittosporum bush blazing away with tiny twinkly lights, it’s subject would be I. That just sounds stupid, even if it is grammatically correct.
Anyway, a bonus is that there are these 300 string lights you can buy now, that you can [...]

Oh! I do so love the changing of the seasons. The metamorphosis from budding flora to fullblown lushness; the ease into the long, lazy, golden light of summer; the dazzling hues exhibited by leaves as they prepare their funerals; the blue hush of quiet snow hiding all that’s ugly.
Whata buncha hooey.
I grew up in Wisconsin. [...]

While I will characterize myself as Ellie Mae, being, as a good friend describes herself, a “delicate flower” sort, I’m surrounded by males, both human and animal. All of them have been populating what passes for air in this house with noxious fumes and sounds. I, personally, never populate like that, since I am a [...]

Oklahoma/Oklahoma State. This game could have been a snoozer. It certainly started out that way. During the first half I alternated between checking my eyelids for holes and re-reading The Fountainhead, which I’d forgotten begins quite snoozerlike itself. So, nap, read, watch a bit, nap, read, watch a bit.
The highlight of that first half was [...]

And my toes are cramped. Something like that. I’ve strung 20 some strings of lights in the back. We have no cantina possibilities, but we do have a nice festively lit deck. The yuccas obeyed and accepted their adornments graciously, although they could have helped a bit with the higher light placement. I’m sure tomorrow, [...]

It’s de yucca denuding
The freeing of da tree
It’s de yucca denuding
Awaiting lights from me
Oh de yucca is smiling
Because it is so clean
Oh de yucca is smiling
Because soon it will gleam.
I have watched the better half strip the trees of their dead leaves. He’s sweating and covered in tree shit. It’s amazing the garbage that simple [...]
