The L Word
Mom called tonight to tell me that the season premiere of the L Word is on. I told her I was going to watch it. In the middle of it, she called a little frantic and said she couldn’t find Showtime – what channel? What goes on?

Letting go and the magic ring
We rode our bikes up and down the lakefront this morning in the punishing wind. And at breakfast I was admiring K’s ring and asked to try it on. She said it’s her magic ring. In Florida some years back she swam far out and while she was frolicking she lost it and she and L looked for it and couldn’t find it so she said “I let it go.” And suddenly L found the…

Well it’s Saturday night and I’m going to….
Stay home and take a long hot bath and put some new PJs on and wear my fuzzy slippers. But J wants me to drive across the lake and go to a party. And C text me to find out if we are dancing at the LaLa because she feels like dancing. And G text and says what r u up to? And M text and says “I will love you forever.” And B&K call…

Again I say, on reflection, how blessed I am, what a holiday season it was!
I was looking at some short films C dropped in my mailbox of Thanksgiving here at the LaLa – us all dressed as pilgrims and indians and the delicious food that was spread out on every surface and of course, the dancing that ensued. Hanukkah rolled around and every night was a different group to light the menorah and celebrate the season with me. Then I was looking at pics of Christmas eve of G and I…

Little Pink Houses All in a Row
I walked Loca for a long time this morning and then rushed home to get an hour and a half bike ride in before mom got here this morning for our Saturday brunch. It was glorious – perfect temperature – no jacket required – and I rode out to the point and back but hit a headwind that made me feel like the witch cycling in the Wizard of Oz. We went to Caffeo on Dumaine…

Dinner for three
Last night, I made dinner for friends and the conversation was all about Obama – I said I had veered his way when I realized he was the candidate who had voted against the war and the chorus was we need to elect Hillary – I said I’m still a little on the fence but my bias is towards Obama. When I drove cross country from California to New Orleans, I listened to Bill Clinton’s…

Glory days
TGIFF is all I have to say – there is nothing like starting the New Year on a Wednesday and having all you have to do compressed into three days instead of five. But with the weather once again back under control around here, I was able to get out and take a long walk with Loca and lie down on a park bench and look at the clouds, and throw leftover bread to the…

The Platinum Pussy Club
When I first started going to my favorite wine store that will remain nameless, a friend of mine told me that is where the PPC hangs out, and now I have found out the god’s honest truth – the PPC doesn’t hang out there although they are known to show up every now and then. The PPC redefine Lipstick Lesbian and ratchet up the girl flourish by about 1000 – they are polar opposites of…

Great news!
The cold is gone – it’s in the upper 60s – back to the Gulf South feeling. Ahhhhhhhhhh.

Rest, replenish, renew, recharge, reload
This horoscope couldn’t be more appropriate. I’ve been getting 10 hours sleep a night lately and foregoing any social invitations that are coming my way and believe me, hard to believe, but they keep a coming. There is a party on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights this weekend. Alas, I committed to a party next Friday and that is all I will put on my calendar. I’m having a couple of friends over for a…
