    2020-05-27 Paranoia

    Dear Diary, I question your motives and intentions. I question the nature of our relationship. And I question the validity of your perceived value. It’s impossible to write without considering ones audience. Without the audience, there’s no hook. There’s no message. There’s no purpose. Or is there? I read a book of poetry once that…

    2020-05-23 Laundry Day 🐱

    Yesterday was the worst day I’ve had in a long time. I was on such an emotional edge almost all day and barely made it through all the things I had to do. I participated in an early meeting with a client in which my only responsibility was to take notes and have my brain…

    2020-05-22 How does one protect those they love from a broken heart?…

    On this day 27 years ago, I got married. That lasted 17 years. And in case your curious, nobody gives out prizes for that. I didn’t get a gold star when I was married 10 years and yeah, the marriage was a big party after which there were a few pats on the back, hugs…

    2020-05-21 Mother / Daughter Stuff

    I’ve got some venting to do but I can predict the future so I’m not going there today. If you live long enough, you too will be able to predict the future. The disclaimer on that is that it all comes from experience. Ride that record right round enough times and there’s no question what…

    2020-05-13 No Rest For the Wicked Part 336

    Why 336? Because it feels like It might just go on and on and on and one can’t escape being wicked if it’s a part of their nature. Riddle me this? Why do I have to spend 40 grand on a masters in fine arts which includes thousands (not exaggerating) of dollars for fees for…

    2020-05-08 Navigation

    Navigation is easy, when you have a map. I find that in matters of the human heart, we rarely have a map. We only know where we have been and can say with confidence, “I know that territory well” (for better or worse) but when can we ever say we know where we are going?…

    2020-04-29 Mathematics and Other Tragedies

    I could draw myself into a spiral. I could pretend to be a straight line or paint my life as an isosceles triangle in perpetual motion. The faster it spins, the more the points blur into circles that create borders that can’t be penetrated. If I was reborn as a star, would I have five…

    2020-04-27 Today’s Big News Top 5 List

    It’s Monday again but not just any Monday. Lots of big things to report on. Perfect for a top 5 List: Thesis = Done (I’ve said that about 4 other times, but I think this is it. Yes, I still have to print copies and send to the university by snail mail, but I’m not…
