  • 2018-12-31 Sneaky NYE (Spoiler Alert, it’s not really about NYE)

    The lecture I went to yesterday was about image. It was about transcendence and turning abstraction into something the five senses can latch onto and understand. It was about time and all time occurring at once and at the same instant always slipping through our fingers. It was about our desires to live on in…

  • 2018-12-30 Empathy Distorted By Estrangement

    Truth IS stranger than fiction. As a writer I’m pretty good at statement and abstraction but I suck at image and I know that. In my MFA program I’m reminded of that fact almost every time I get feedback. “Needs more concrete detail” and “Show us” are regular comments. So when I was getting in…

  • 2018-12-28 Tennis Anyone?

    Not me.. not for a while anyway. Not only is it dreadful outside – and will be for too many more months, but my aging body has decided to throw me a nasty curve ball. Tennis elbow. 🎾 I’m actually not sure when it started or what thing I did that would have caused it.…

  • 2018-12-27 It’s OK to Look Back – Just Don’t Stare

    Sometimes I say “a wise person once told me…”, before quoting something someone has said, but what to say when you don’t remember who said it and you have no idea of the truth behind it? You might say, “I heard once…”. Or maybe, “A friend of mine once said…”. But what if you don’t…

  • 2018-12-26 Ups and Downs

    Last night Jim and the kids and I went to see the new animated spider man movie and that was a wonderful ending to our first Christmas together. Life is wonderful. The holiday was not without challenges. Scheduling was a bad dream this year with my ex and his SO who took greater interest in…

  • 2018-12-23 What’s in a Name?

    I tend to place a lot of weight on naming things. I think names are important. For objects and ideas it’s all about standards and improving communication and understanding. For poems and other creative writing, it is the title that I spend a long time considering and I’ve attended entire lectures and group discussions about…

  • 2018-12-22 This IS the Life

    It’s the only one I’ve got so I’m treating it with great care. I’ve rolled into the weekend before Christmas in style. I’m already enjoying having everything wrapped up and cruising through the weekend and next week without too much fuss. This morning we had a well deserved Saturday morning where we didn’t have to…

  • 2018-12-19 The Day That Came and Went

    Yesterday I did not get to work out, or sleep, or eat and I barely had time to stop and pee. Seriously. I had to leave the house before Jim (at 7:30AM) for an in person work meeting and did not make it back home until about 8PM because of the workshop and reading down…
