Tennis, tennis, tennis, tennis
What do you think of people who love an activity, and dedicate a fair amount of time pursuing it, yet they kind of suck at it and never really improve?
My friend said her 12 year old son LOVES golf. He went to golf camp last year, and loves to go every chance he gets, but he's not very good at it. I think that is such a wonderful quality for ( Read more... ) -
Dawgs Off Leash in the Park
What do you think about unleashed dogs in the park?
Personally, I don't have a problem, unless they ambush my not so friendly, leashed dog.
I rarely have a problem in the park outside my apartment building. The dog owners tend to have control over their pets, and keep them in the section with other unleashed dogs.
However, the other day, this 30ish ( Read more... ) -
"There's a smell and people are pointing at you".
I'm starting to feel a little lazy, a little flabby and slightly out of breath. I recently joined a Jewish gym, and it is closed the entire week for Passover. God forbid I go for a walk, or lift my dumbbells at home. What the heck. It's the perfect excuse to slack off.
Now, anyone who knows me personally for more than a few weeks will know that ( Read more... ) -
Passover Nuts
I think my family, and my extended family may be crazy.
Example of our Passover Cedar:
"I'm dying to dye my hair purple". I express this yearning, derived from a middle age crisis, to my aunt.
"So, do it, Beatrice. Dye your hair purple. Your mother would love it".
Sometimes it's difficult to gauge by myself. Is this normal? A 70 year old aunt ( Read more... ) -
Midnight
I am so exhausted. It seems to be a common theme this past month, and especially on the heels of last night. Nichole took quite a long time to get ready, and we left 2 hours after we tentatively planned to. Waiting can be very draining. Especially when I just throw on jeans, a tee shirt, and a little mascara. Voila. Let's go. Since Nichole ( Read more... ) -
Past & Present
After a long hiatus, the itch to write has returned. Why, when, and to what end I can only have faith will reveal itself, but all I can do is practice again.
Last night T&P finally came over. We'd been trying to get together since Christmas, but for one reason or another couldn't meet up. Oh my gosh! My cat Pepper just made an odoriferous crap ( Read more... ) -
Perception ReArranged
What the heck? Who wrote those entries? I think someone hacked my account or I suffer from MPD.
Somewhere on your journey
there's a corner that you turn
down is up & left is right & out is in.
Wondering how you got here
the direction never changed.
Same ole street sign
same old year
but perception rearranged -

Dear Young Woman Voter,
I am sitting amidst boxes, paper piles and a thing-to-do-list that stretches the length of three pages to take a break and write to you.
I am both filled with hope and raked with fear about the impending results of the remainder of these primaries. Though Obama promises a change that is thorough and idealistic, I feel ( Read more... )
