I walked Arlene before it was light this morning, cloaked by dense fog, and I felt a sense of urgency to slow down. The holiday season is here – I’ve barely listened to my Christmas music, although I’ve been lighting the menorah every night. I didn’t go to the lighting in Jackson Square. I missed the carroling at the Cavalry Church on Saturday evening. This next week promises to be busy with reports coming in…
That’s what my tea bag said this evening. So on that note – I must say that Eli’s Coming has been pervasive not just with me, G said she feels it too. I have an overwhelming amount of stuff to do – today I took my long bike ride, riding back over to West End to see how it has progressed. It has, although the boat houses are all hammered. But the park has been…
I was chatting with a friend about mutual friends we have and who he is close to and who I am close with. He mentioned a friend of ours and shook his head – said he felt for her because she seems to have lost her inner compass. I agreed, but don’t know what the reason is for that. How come some people possess a fine inner compass and some don’t, while others need lots…
It is so beautiful outside, I can’t begin to tell you. Of course, my lens on the world is cloudy today after having stayed up late last night and then waking up at 3:30AM with house terrors – I thought G was still asleep on my couch but she had snuck out. I got up and finally took an Atavan as I could not shake the terrors which seemed more virulent than the ones that…
When B and I finally drove into Milwaukee, I had downed a liter of green tea and I told B that if he didn’t stop the car to let me find a bathroom, there would be blood on my hands – we finally found our destination and while he was putting money in the meter, I scooted ahead, ran into the lobby, and at security while trying to get to the restroom noticed one of…
We wound up back here for a little after the street fair entertainment – and I still could not get over how sometimes you’re racing towards where you think you are going, but when you get there it just doesn’t look like what you thought it would…And Neil is singing, “I am, I said, to no one there”…So one gal is down on the couch and me, I’m on the blog, and the rest have…
Except it’s not easy – I went to Pilates and got kicked out because L forgot to put my name down as a regular on Saturdays. Then went by the LaLa to meet the tile guy because he had questions, but he didn’t show up, so I came home, and right when I walked in S, my contractor, called and said G had told him I was going to be there to meet with him…
There is a thick fog layer blanketing New Orleans creating a surreal atmosphere. There is also a thick fog inside my head as I’m fighting off something that wants to throw me down. I’m hoping for clarity inside and out very soon, but it might take the rest of the day for the air/mind to clear.
Popped into Swirl for the Friday night tasting and Sylvia was pouring the wine – Sylvia with the good hair. And the Roller Derby girls were there selling tickets rolling around on their skates – most of them are very fly. Fatima was in the house, serving pasta from her about to open restaurant La Vita next door. Her husband Bob joined her later – and he was hysterical, talking about how he has become…
Peggy had a studio sale of her pottery, so I was the first one there and bought a couple of pieces. What I wanted were pieces of her sculpture, but right now, outside of my price range, considering the LaLa still needs and needs and needs. For those who don’t know her, she has created pots and dropped them down around the streets signs along the bayou. She’s in the process of doing one for…
