11:11. It’s an interesting number. I’ve been seeing it a lot lately. Like, three out of the last four nights, I’ve been up writing late, full attention on the computer, but I look up when the cable box in my room is at 11:11. The week before that probably three more times. Saturday morning, microwave [...]

Once upon a time, there was a woman. This woman didn’t have an easy life, but then who does. No one has an easy life, if they did people would be very uninteresting and I wouldn’t be writing this story. The important part is what her life taught her, and not how it taught her. [...]

Bravo’s been playing reruns of West Wing. It’s freaky how many similarities there are between the campaign on the show and the real life campaign that just ended. Old dude against young minority dude.. I’m SO NOT READY for it to be this cold already. There was this mysterious white stuff falling today too. I’m [...]

A lot of life these days is very routine. I get up. I go to work, or whatever on the weekends. Come home, talk to Roomie for an hour or two after we eat supper, and then I spend the rest of the evening writing, or talking to friends. It’s an enjoyable existence, but there’s [...]

2 years old, the summer of 68. Chocolate ice cream on a warm summer evening. Our back yard was a kid haven. I loved being out there. Mom probably dunked me in the pool to clean up the chocolate face, and that was fine with me. I patented that “are you on crack?” look early [...]

Namaste, loosely translated, means “I respect that divinity within you that is also within me”. Loosely practiced in my life, means that everyone I meet deserves the same reverence, honor, and respect. At a very human level, we are all equal. If we started treating people that way, the world would be a much nicer, [...]

Today sincerely sucked at work and after 10 hours of number crunching I have no brain left to write with, so here’s a few random things for you to chew on. First of all, do me a favor. Go here, and vote 11 for JJ. He’s got way more talent than this 1 minute clip [...]

My mom loved house plants. When I was a kid, we had a sun room with two big picture windows. In front of those windows were two 8 foot long built in planters, both of them filled with different growing things. I remember tall things that I learned later were “Mother in Law Tongues”, and [...]
