  • Sisters, Sisters

    I love what Boo is doing with her blog lately, so I added a new song at the top. I couldn't find the original Rosemary Clooney doing this song from the classic movie in anything longer than a 30-second clip, so this mor…

  • I'm Ranting, and I Can't Get Up!

    Yesterday I made an almost flippant comment about Iraq and how we got into the war believing it would be a quick done deal much like the Gulf War. It was a "hit Saddam and we're done" sort of mentality. Since then, t…

  • How Great Thou Art

    Things are rarely as bad as you think they're gonna be (unless, of course, you're Bush and/or the American people deluding themselves that this would be a quick hit and run sort of war). Last night was the culmination o…

  • II 26.2 and 26.4

    Yay for the Internet Island!26.2: The Wrench in the Works. There's an old saying about how throwing a "wrench in the works" of any machine utterly messes up it's purpose. Has there ever been any memorable "wrenches" whic…

  • I've been tagged by CanadianNational, and several weeks ago by other beautiful ladies, to tell seven random facts about myself. I've done this tag before, but it's always a fun one. I'll have to hit up the Internet Isl…

  • The shower was beautiful. I was the youngest one there, followed by the bride, her sister, and four ladies who were fifty years old or older. I felt almost immediately like family. Seeing Becky again after almost two …

  • I helped my mom put the deflea juice on her cats before whooping ass in two games of Scrabble with the parentals last night. I had just come from the library nearest my mother's house, where I signed up for a library ca…

  • Yesterday's rain dance produced a beautiful deluge this morning. The first day of summer seems to have broken that downward spiral, and I'm renewed and refreshed. Also yesterday I wrote a letter, got back into FitDay, …

  • Caffeine, Dysthymia, and Robert Zimmerman

    Oh where have you been, my blue-eyed son?My bro's eyes are blue, he reads me often.I've stumbled on the side of ten crazy ideas,I'm determined to bike at least seven more miles.I'll be out in front of a dozen coworkers,I…

  • "Getting so much better all the time..."

    Throat feels a little better. We (Steve and I) have concluded it's less a problem with my singing and more a problem with sleeping with the fan directly on me.It rained. We needed that.In talking to Steve, I feel a lit…

  • Someone parked in my spot last night, I didn't sleep well, and when I finally did (coming into work a little later than usual), my dreams were disturbing. When I got to work, I found a voicemail message from the loan of…

  • Take Two

    This book is taking forever to read. And not in a good way. "The Last Temptation of Christ" is taking a while because it's deep and my brain and soul can only consider so much at a time. This "Club Dumas" has interest…

  • Another Pleasant Valley [Mo]nday

    Happy Father's Day to all of you good dads out there. Yesterday I called my dad and thought fondly of my deceased grandfathers. My beloved's father is somebody he hasn't sent holiday wishes to in a long time. I went d…

  • So far this afternoon, I've only read travelerblue, jerjonji, and DancingSun. My mother and two adopted aunts - all inspiring and awe-inspiring. Here is one bit of a song that my mother and I often sing and which I w…

  • What's the differnce between a real cowboy's cowboy boots and George Bush's cowboy boots?.......A real cowboy's boots have the horseshit on the outside!

  • Let's Give 'Er Something to Blog About

    I started a blog yesterday about "presence," but it got too fluffy and preachy for my taste, so I deleted it. I had just come from a particularly amazing "counseling" session as part of this summer class I'm taking and …

  • I'm becoming more and more a fan of these "nutritional" drinks. They're easier to take for breakfast and they're full of good stuff. Still, I do wonder about that rumor that soy products affect people's hormones. I'm …

  • Today I did a business transaction for a friend and wound up spending three hours with an until-then complete stranger. She's a hoot, and she's absolutely genuine. It was good and outside the box. I want a Slurpee-blu…

  • Happy Birthday, Daddy! We may require punch and pie. My squawking (singing) is getting better. It's a matter of letting go of that pride of good days past - and rebuilding. My counselor told me yesterday she wa…

  • Well, dammit, rereading that last blog I want some fish tacos. Seriously - that's not a euphemism - they're tasty! Last night I decided I'm going to be playing a nun in this performance my class is putting on.In half a…

  • Your poetry, he saidain't got no soul. A pretty, hollow vessel,a lifeless bag.So I wrote a bit moregrungily, waxingquixotic, spasmodic, catastrophic. But my life's beenpretty cleanand all I could dowas take a dead fish…

  • The sky is beginning to weep now. It hasn't done enough of that lately. Here in the Miami Valley (of Ohio), there's no drought yet, but I know that weather in other parts of the country has been severe - droughts follo…

  • Saturday Ranting

    "Taking a new step, uttering a new word is what people fear most." ~ Fyodor DostoyevskiA lot of people fear change. Or at least it makes them anxious or nervous. Others embrace it, either because they fear it or becaus…

  • No Housie for this Mousie

    I might as well get it off my chest now. Maybe it will feel more final.We're not getting that gorgeous little house (unless we can convince the seller to close in late October instead of late June). It is our fault for…
