go wally go
I like this video (all of 2:41 long) not only about the subject matter (guy loses a whole lot of weight by walking) but the way it’s made. No cloying soundtrack, no teary, Biggest Loser-style confessions, no soft-focus, no glurge. Some nice shots of Norfolk County (MA), too. Sensible, simple, A-to-B, small but deep. Just…

My Elderly Relative seems to have lost all his pants. Bizarre and bewildering. I awoke to find him happily sunning himself while wearing a pair of my sweats that he stole from the dryer. It was a pretty hilarious sight, as I am short and he is tall, and .. well, he was wearing my…

I went to yoga this morning (I’m writing this on Saturday 3/12) and completely forgot that downtown Ventura was going to be extraspecially crazy due to roads being closed for a parade and a footrace and whoknows what else. Parking is at a premium anyway, so this day made it impossible to find anywhere to…
Read Morehigh drama
What a day was yesterday. I’m feeling a little emotional over the events in Japan and certainly don’t want to minimize it by applying drama my mundane little day. But I’d rather not attempt to write anything specific about the disaster. Too much, so too much. So, there were people walking on my roof today.…

This is my father, my brand-new nephew, and me. I was five, or almost five. My sister L, Jesse’s mom, is 16 years older than me, hence the happy happenstance that I got to have a tiny, living doll, all to myself, at a doll-adoring age. Today is that tiny baby’s birthday, now a wonderful…

Thank you for suggestions on what to write about — all were great and I promise I will answer all of them! I’m tackling the first one on the list: Jefffro says: Tell us about that one time….when you were ten or so….when you had the “best day ever”! (I am fishing for this to…

Another monthly challenge to myself: read a book, and report on it here (to keep me honest.) These will not be terribly in depth or insightful reviews. Here’s March’s. This book is about hell. A fully customized, modern, even quirky hell, exactly the approach I’ve always wanted to read about. There’s a plot, but the…
Read Morei look to you, my gorgeous reader
Paul and I have this Fourth Friday Challenge thingie for our daily posting regimen this year. On his blog, Paul’s put out the call to all his blog reading public, asking for story ideas, writing challenges, themes. Since I seem to do what he does, I’m asking the same of you, my sweet reader. What…
Read Morehighlights from last saturday’s party
After being stuck in traffic on the 101 for decades, then getting lost in Echo Park, then spinning out trying to parallel park on an SF-worthy steep hill, which led me to scream “I hate LA!” out my window, I finally made it to a 100% fun party hosted by Ukulady and her lovely Ukulad.…
