Ethan looked strikingly like his long-gone father, terribly handsome, all fine bones and fair skin, though Ian’s light hair was never so long and attractively unkempt. Those eyes, though, cl...

Okay, Nathe and I haven’t really been talking for a few months now, which has been a bit of an emotional vacation, but, since I was never really mad at him about his last bizarre blow-up, I made...

---

Ever laughed so hard you could barely breathe? It started with me going random in the hallway. I do that now and again, okay, more often than now and again. Okay, okay, I go random with the boys ...

---

I looked at the mother’s note and then at the grinning boy standing before me, both arms blood red from fingertips to elbows. Technically, his problem was a grooming violation and every teacher ...

---

I haven’t mentioned Harvey even though I’ve been glued to the screen watching. I don’t know what to say. Absolutely terrible. I feel so awful for everyone affected. I am beyond empathy. Beaumont...

---

Because I am both a technidiot and cheap, I am unable to post pics anymore. (And I have need to illustrate some of my more serious craziness.) I used to be able to get pics into my entries by usi...

When I purchase them, While they’re in my purse, In my hand, On my desk… Until I check the numbers on the site and find out that, against all personal conviction, my lottery ticket is not the big...

---

I cannot find words. I’m totally scrambled. Beyond belief. He’s dropped any pretense. He’s openly supporting white supremacists. “there were good people in that crowd…” Really? You can put on sy...

---

I don’t know. I don’t want to agree with the man, but what he says does sound reasonable and right. The president condemns the hatred and violence in Charlottesville “from many sides.” It woul...

Did I mention that the retreat was an overnight thing? Seriously, overnight adult retreat house trapped indoor camping with people most of whom I actively do not love, many of whom give me unwa...

---

I’m not saying the pressure was on, but everyone in the group was looking at me, without a clue how I was going to pull this one together. It was one of those lovely soul-searching team building ...

---

Polluted. Simply polluted. I am not in control of my mind’s autocorrect. I watch, well actually listen, to too much television. I need the background noise. I always have. A child of the sixties ...

---

Donnal had just mentioned she was having guests over and had spent part of the morning cleaning. I had replied, equal parts honest admiration and resigned envy, that she was a better woman than...

He may be right. The whole thing may be a witch hunt. Of course, that doesn’t meant that he hasn’t been very busy turning the White House into the American branch of Hogwart’s. Seriously, Dons,...

---

Had another Nathe blow-up last night. It didn’t surprise me. The fuse was lit the moment I allowed him to start talking politics. What surprised me was what caused the actual explosion. Given ...

---

Ordinary. Just an ordinary non-specific day. It isn’t cloudy but I see no sun. The sky is wholly uninspiring, neither really blue nor grey. The pavement beneath my feet is broken in places and I...

---

Okay, it’s supposedly a bit more than rain. It’s Tropical Depression Cindy and, while New Orleans is not in the direct path of the storm, it is in the dump path. The storm is (most probably) goi...

Just when you think that the man could not possibly do anything more inappropriate than he has done already, he proves you have under-estimated him again. Let us put aside the politics, - Ther...

Yesterday everyone at work got a bulk email from our colleague Willie. “Greetings, Hope this email finds you well. I made a trip to Manila. Philippines Unfortunately, the chip on my card was conf...

---

… back in my favourite and most constant obsession. Let us begin with the facts. Fact 1 - I will win the lottery. This is an indisputable fact. For your own safety, don’t try to dissuade me. Don’...

Wrong on so many levels. “No politician in history has been treated worse…“ A speaker is invited to a commencement. He’s supposed to give an inspiring speech to the graduates. It’s their big day....
