mini man marathon
So I went on three dates in four days. I really, really want to tell you all about them, but all of the menfolk involved know my full name and (presumably) how to use the internet, so, um, hi menfolk, if you’re reading this! I will be as discreet as my genetic makeup can allow.…

There’s a young woman that appears in my yoga class from time to time. She looks like an American Brigitte Bardot. A sun-kissed, lithe, Southern Californian Brigitte Bardot. Good heavens. What is wrong with her? Why does she insist on looking like that? She should probably come over here and sit on my lap and…

Another subject suggestion from WordPress Postaday 2011: Pick something that annoys you and redesign how it works. The annoyance. Easy. The lunacy of trying to gather together a list of people on Facebook. The whole Group and Page (and now Place) thing started off screwy, and evolved into a monstrously mutated process. I rue the…

I had a spectacular weekend from start to finish. On Saturday I reconnected with Tom, a friend from my high school days, whom I had not seen nor talked to since I was 16 and he was 18. I mean, how do you even start to catch up on 30+ years? Chronologically, by subject matter,…

Good things and bad things happened to me on April 7. No in-between. All black or white. Yes or no. THE BAD THINGS Woke up to the sound of scraping and spackling — the house painters have arrived. Didn’t we just have the roof replaced (aka the apocalypse)? Yep, and so what? Why not have…
Read Morefirst quarterly report of 2011
It is apt that my end-of-first-quarter-2011 report (self-imposed) is late. I’m behind with everything; March kind of kicked my ass. Anyways. Here is a roundup of the first 25% of this year of Goals, Challenges, and Regimens. Well, at least the workouts, the flossing, and headache monitoring. Workouts in Hours – First Quarter 2011 (January…

This is timely. Here’s an interesting creative piece based on data from dating sites. Description from BoingBoing: R. Luke DuBois’ latest project, “A More Perfect Union,” was spawned during several years of online dating. DuBois became fascinated with the language used in the profiles. So he overlaid data from 19 million online dating profiles onto…

Lyn, Cynthia, and yours truly, in an orange-flesh hue (?) So I had a pretty good time talking about online dating on the radio. I don’t think I sound too much like a freak (I toned the freak component waaaay down – this is a pretty conservative county after all,) and I got most of…
