“She comes out of the sun

In a silk dress running

Like a watercolor

In the rain”

-- Al Stewart

I climbed to the top of the Empire State building this morning.  Whew.

Then like Leonardo I spread out my arms and shouted…”I’m Queen of the world”

Well, he didn’t say he was a queen, but you get the simile.

Those around me in the gym looked ( Read more... )

Jazzie cautiously pokes her head out of the sliding glass doors at the entry to the garden.  Taking in a few quick whiffs of the grapefruit blossomed air, she ventures one small white leg forward and waits for further instructions from her cat senses.  With a wriggle of her whiskers she bounces into the blooming universe that is ours to share.  Her ( Read more... )

Ah, another agonizing night without sleep.

The world is an all-together different place at 3am on a Monday night.  Its dark and bone jarringly quiet.  I was tired by 10:30 and could not make it through an interesting show on the History channel about the Knights Templar.

Just noticed the typo and thought I’d leave it in for giggles, as these happy accidents are just my kind of ha. I haven’t eaten another human in a day or so at least. Perhaps ( Read more... )

Little breaks evolve into bigger breaks if one is not careful and alas I have neglected my little musing space.

But I’ve accomplished an important goal and that was worth a little lj downtime to me.

Alpacas for today’s musing…to be or not to be an alpaca-ian.

Reinventing my life is such a thrill…
