The luxury of time
This morning I slept in late much to the chagrin of the doggies. But I knew I was going to give them more time and more patience than I had all week so I let them pace and scratch and make whimpering noises. I dreamt of two men, one who I desired and one who desired me. We were in the same apartment and the one I desired was aloof and at one point was…

How much work is enough?
The other night when a friend came by I was steeped in work and I told her, I have about an hour and then need to get back up to work. I set up the hour glass on the counter and she laughed.

How timely is this?
Last night a friend called out of the blue and I ran to go meet her for a half hour – hours later we were sitting and discussing life and she kept asking me all of these personal questions that I didn’t have a hands down answer for – she said, why not? – what’s the matter? are you afraid of committing to any of these ideas? – and I said, moi? a commitment-phobe? never…

No Country for Old Men
Sigh – when is this coming to New Orleans???? FILM REVIEW, By Joe Morgenstern No Country for Old Men’ reviewed by the WSJ The villain in “No Country for Old Men,” a psychopath named Chigurh who is played to demonic perfection by Javier Bardem, uses a coin toss to decide a potential victim’s fate. I’m not advocating the same approach to seeing Joel and Ethan Coen’s spectacular new thriller, only noting both sides of its…
