Thursday was almost as good as Wednesday in the sense that it was a pleasant day and then it seem to segue into a good denouement but of course, naturally, and wouldn’t you believe it, life got in the way. Steve missed his flight and had to reroute and spend $700 to change to another flight, work was nutty, and maybe my part is a little hot, hard to tell because if you see it…
There is nothing like hick charm in my book even if Nick lovingly mocks Les for the way he says wonderful, won’rful has an endearing quality. Nancy sent a note this morning after trying to reach me several times – she had a flat in nowhere Virginia and is trying to make sense of it all. I told her that I have stopped thinking about the future – which has been my M.O. most of…
Finding the right thing to do to beat the refugee blues – we went back to the Gypsy Tea Room to see Built to Spill and were pleasantly entertained by three bands, The Walkmen and BTS as well as an ensemble at the beginning. We had stopped to get Peter first and have some cocktails at his house – the ten year gin was excellent and kicked the evening off right – unlike the the…
It’s hard to fear being a cliche when you are living through extraordinary times like a diaspora. But I haven’t really been myself for quite some time. I get caught up in my thoughts and can’t seem to come out of my head and just be. In doing that I also stop directing my actions and start settling for what’s offered when I want so much more. So the question is do you focus on…

Yesterday was spent in downtown Ft Worth shopping for our cowboy outfits at Leddy’s. I am now outfitted – black felt cowboy hat, orange crushed velvet mini skirt, belt, star of Texas buckle, boots (so fly), black silk cowboy shirt. S has shirt and jeans. W and V got boots. So we are good to go on our band. Rita managed to ruin a few places and spill a lot of water in New Orleans,…
My friend R IM’d me this morning to say he had broken up with his Italian girlfriend – “so fn sad” he writes – she’s headed back to Italy plus ‘she didn’t want to have babies” – he wanted to know how I was doing with yet another hurricane bearing down on my general area. Told him I was mid to partly cloudy. He asked if I am depressed and said don’t think so. He…
After two days of throwing up and diarrhea, we brought Arlene to the vet hospital late last night to discover she has pancreatitis – which she could have gotten anywhere but she has such an acute case the vets were mystified at why she looked so good. So was I – it is what kept me from bringing her earlier – she kept acting like she wasn’t all that sick except when she opened her…
D and M now thinking they are evacuating this morning from Houston. J is sick and he is supposed to start wearing the helmet at the end of the month. L&S went to Covington where they are both working from satellite offices. B called to say he is working under adverse conditions on an old client’s house in Lakeview, trying to get it somewhat ready for them if and when they can move back. S…
Friends seem to come from the unexpected at times – like A for instance – who just instinctively has known me and been able to respond always with such love and devotion. Or take M who came into my Industrial group and made such a difference and has time to think about me here in Arlington and send me a Nordstrom gift certificate. These and care packages weigh down your heart and make it difficult…
