What's this? A sound? I hear a sound. It's more than one sound, it is a veritable orchestra of life sounds - music, tv, clock, and Willy. I can hear my little guy talking to me. What a joyful noise. He and I babble at each other all day long and he grew quite detached when I stopped responding. I only knew he was talking when I looked at him ( Read more... ) -
Whadya say? Speak up I can't hear ya.
As some of you may know, I've been having ear trouble for a while. Most recently I developed swimmers ear in the right ear. So I have vertigo in my left ear and an infection in the right one. Life is never simple and over the past two weeks things have grown steadily worse. The infection spread to both ears and I was going mad with pain and ( Read more... ) -
A perfect movie?
It's been a while. I'm more active on Face-book these days. I miss the longer and more developed dialogue on Livejournal but it takes more time. Life has been churning along. It is now the middle of January and I can't remember what's been keeping me so busy. I have been seeing more movies of late. There has been a great crop of new movies. I can't ( Read more... ) -
"The Fighter" is really, really good.
I recommend this film to all those who just like a good story, free of car chases and special effects, well directed and gripping. This is a film that has a beginning, middle and an end, and it's well acted with brilliant editing (particularly the fight scenes).
I'm still animated after seeing "The Fighter" - a new addition to the catalog of good ( Read more... ) -
Hello 2011
I am back in the Petes. Mambo has returned to her life and Screaming Life has his living room back. Willy is a bit bored and very sleepy. He misses his cousins in London but this time he isn't punishing me by ignoring me. In fact he really is close and cuddly. He is also giving extra cushion love. So all is well ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year!
New Years Eve is done and a new day and year have begun. Be well everyone. Have a safe, healthy and happy year. 2010 was kind to me and I pray that 2011 is kind to us all. So, without further ado, let the journey into the future begin. -
We are family...
Four days left in my London visit. Where has the time gone? Screaming Life brought me here on December 22, and I'll be going home on January 2. I've been enjoying Christmakah festivities, relaxing and digesting all the food. I've been eating way too many holiday treats and have just put my WW regime on hold.
We went out for brunch earlier todayand ( Read more... ) -
Happy Solstice Everyone.
What a wonderful sunny day for the Solstice. This morning I went to my friend Mary's internment. It's almost a year since her death and her husband David created a most beautiful ceremony. He spent some time researching different cultures' burial rituals and selected the elements that suited Mary's values best. So we had symbols and readings from ( Read more... ) -
Culture shmulture, when do we eat?
Well folks I'm home again in the Petes after a busy afternoon in TO. First to Julie's with the presents - two shopping bags full. I had toys for 3 kids, books for Julie, organic coffee beans for her husband and gifts for children and grandchildren. We were served tea and cookies and since T was there as well as my friend, it was a busy and lively ( Read more... ) -
Catch Me - an encore
Sweet heaven, it happened again today. This was even more vigorous and I could feel my ears pop, which pleased Jane (Vertigo therapist) no end. Took a while to recover but I'm feeling much better now. Sean, my regular therapist derives way too much pleasure from this procedure. He grabs my legs and proceeds to roll me over with enthusiasm. It's ( Read more... )
