We are more than halfway through September now. Yesterday, Jake turned 10. Recently, I had occasion to go through the stacks of photographs I've accumulated through the past two decades. It was a difficult time of reflection; Jake is at once very different and very familiar. He is handsome and thoughtful and smart and mouthy… Continue reading time goes quicker between the two of us

shenanigans
There is an animal living in the ceiling/wall of my house. It has been incredibly difficult to get a wildlife control service to come address this issue. Maybe today. Heard from a friend yesterday that he finally finished a divorce settlement (after about a year); another friend is beginning the process this week. I forgot… Continue reading shenanigans
delight in astonishing being
I feel like we haven't talked in awhile. Here is what my life has been for the past few weeks: A beautiful car at the local pub, a strange sign on the elevator at work, democracy + beer, a beautiful cake, flying kites, relaxing at home. Not a bad life. This, though, is the picture… Continue reading delight in astonishing being

Midway between Christmas and New Year's, I find myself taking a look around and feeling incredibly blessed. 2011 has been a good year for me; I learned a lot about myself and the people in my life. I had to make some tough decisions this year, impacting relationships, work life, and home life, and I'm… Continue reading midway

I sliced my index finger open while attempting to open a bag of salad with a large, serrated knife. Tomorrow morning, I head for the most beautiful city in the country. All… Continue reading highlights

**During NaPoMo, when I was participating in the Poem-A-Day challenge, I wrote this thing. It was a quick little draft of a poem, mostly designed to get the idea on paper so I could come back to it later. It was based on a Huffington Post article I read, which gave few details about the… Continue reading notes
weekend recap
So Donna and I had big exciting plans to head to NYC yesterday to try to catch tickets for Shakespeare in the Park, featuring Anne Hathaway as Viola in Twelfth Night. We got up at 4 a.m., arrived at the park around 6:10 a.m., and sat in line until 10 a.m. At this point, someone… Continue reading weekend recap
where i have been lately
and why my posts have been all grumpy-like:I'm moving (knock wood) in, like, 2 weeks. I have managed to pack most of the 600+ books that Donna and I have accumulated, which is a significant portion of the packing.I'm also away for the next week and a half (though home on the weekend) for work,… Continue reading where i have been lately
