    2024-05-01 Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin…

    Welcome to May. May 1st. Mayday, May poles, and May baskets for those who believe in the magic of history and tradition.  Mayday is probably one of those historical traditions that was lost with my parent’s generation. I have vague memories of it from my childhood, putting together baskets and leaving them on doorsteps of…

    2023-09-10 Sedona Arizona Day 0: Flying Solo

    Day Zero. The travel day. The day I don’t actually reach my destination because I needed a day to myself before meeting up with my Texas Bestie and making our way to our home away from home for the week.  For one thing, I’m a serious introvert who almost never gets to be alone so…

    2023-08-29 Welcome to the backside slide…

    …down the cheese grater of life. “Really bro?”  Yeah… that’s more or less what my brother wrote in my birthday card. That and “welcome to the club.” “What club bro?” I say though I know damn well what club.  Should I feel special? He and I have never been in a club together so maybe…

    2023-04-05 Passover or Whatever

    Passover, flyover, rollover. Over and over, until you die from it. Forget it. Good gravy!  ❌ Content warning… E.T. is mentioned seven times in this post. Eight if you count this warning. I did a thing yesterday and didn’t die from it and my reward was to wake up and spend another day marveling at the mysteries of…

    2023-03-19 Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

    Today’s post is brought to you by the song “The Way” by the band Fastball, which I’ve committed to listening to on repeat until I’m good and satisfied with where my mind is going… As a child I frequently daydreamed about running away from where I was and being somewhere else–anywhere else. Often that “somewhere…

    2023-03-15 Averting My Eyes on the Ides

    What a strange day. I remembered the Ides were coming up a few days ago and then forgot again. Then all day today I had this strange feeling something was off. Might have been that 4AM wake up. Might have been the feeling of being too tired coupled with an unusually productive morning. Might be…

    2022-06-28 A Day In The Life

    Today’s experiment, after waking up at 4 AM and only four hours of sleep (I was revising poems till midnight), is data mining a “day in the life.” It’s a little research project I dreamed up after having not just one or two run-ins with my errant brain and its memory flaws, but a whole…

    2022-06-15 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 12:Part Two ✍️

    This is really just a continuation of what came before. Something of the fleeting notion of free writing, and channeling the spirit of a young girl who teetered between not having a care in the world and carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.  For her, the world in 1984 consisted of a…
