For the Love of This Life

January 19, 2012

Today was not a great day. It’s cold here. Not as cold as it has been. It could be a lot worse. It’s single digits cold and we’ve seen winters where it didn’t even reach the negative single digits for weeks at a time. It’s only been this cold for [...]

12 by 2012: Update 1

December 8, 2011

If you’ve been following along here for the past couple of months you may remember the 12 by 2012 list I posted back in October. At the time 2012 seemed so far off; today it seems like I’m quickly running out of time. Here’s an update on my progress.
1. Send out Holiday [...]

Of Love and Destruction

June 22, 2011

He calls it a death wish. But I can’t help it.
I stare up into the pelting rain and wish I were swaying like the tops of the trees. I feel the rattle of the thunder reverberate in my chest and swallow the energy of the yellow and purple lightening that dances across [...]

On Being Realistic. Or Not.

September 10, 2010

In my mind I want to be one of those people who has great, vast shelves full of books; books that smell like dust and raw history. It seems romantic, erotic. I want to have sex against them, hoisted up on one of those rolling ladders lost in the moment, in unbridled passion; [...]

On Just Doing It

August 23, 2010

Our youngest ate a lot of pickles that summer. The big, refrigerated kind that, when eaten by a toddler her age, take up the whole fist. She was eating one then, sitting in her portable booster seat, strapped to the folding chair inside the screen tent that we never did close the sides [...]

Someone Has to Die

August 15, 2010

If there were any one thing I could be famous for at this point in my life my knack for having identity crises like clockwork could very well be that thing. Has it been more than twelve to twenty-four months since I’ve upset my entire schedule; turned my structure, my very being upside down? [...]

On The Calm Before The Storm

April 6, 2010

I love a good summer storm. Pounding rain, earth-shaking thunder, the crack of lightening that trails from one end of the earth I see to the other and perhaps most of all the golden sun on the receding blue-grey sky; all are good things in my book.
I love the way the rain washes away [...]

Love Does Things

March 17, 2010

I was talking with a friend the other day about the lives we expected, the lives we desired in an earlier time, and those we lead now. I was marveling at how much some of us change our dreams and aspirations over the years, while others of us have maintained the same standard of [...]

The Case for Screaming Like Hell

March 3, 2010

*Disclaimer: I have not actually watched Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Ever. I have however, been privy to all the hub-bub surrounding the episode in which Kourtney gave birth*
And here’s my beef; while I am absolutely on board with the admonishment of elective cesarean sections and whole-heartedly believe the medical community as a general population [...]

In Love

October 28, 2009

His jeans were starched and the most vivid shade of indigo I’d ever seen. His hair as white as the driven snow. His hands shook ever so slightly as he fumbled with his wallet.
I don’t get emotionally attached to many people. When I do, it’s intense.
On the matte, black conveyor belt that stood [...]
