I had two stainless steel bowls that stuck together when I unpacked them after moving in. It’s been almost the riddle to solve around here – no one has been able to pry them apart. We’ve tried freezing them, heating them, banging them with a mallet, a hammer – nada. I handed them to Roy last night and he put them on my front porch this morning – WALA – separated. My doorknob fell off in…
Check this out – this is uncanny – precisely where I’m at right now and the read for Taurus today spilled out of my own mouth:Today marks the beginning of a very independent period for you — you can expect to start feeling a lot more interested in doing what you want to do and less interested in joining up with your gang of friends. Dinner alone now suddenly seems like a wonderful idea instead…
When Steve and I got married, it was to be my third wedding so we opted to get married on Telegraph Hill at sunrise on New Year’s Eve – new beginnings was the theme. We walked from our North Beach apartment up the hill much to the chagrin of family and friends (one who came in her curlers). I broke the glass symbolizing the destruction of the temple. Elderly Chinese men and women did tai…
Someone I love dearly called me in a little bit of a confused state. She had recently come out and had fallen in love with a woman, who then moved away to go to medical school. She had just received a phone call that the woman had fallen in love with a man. I told her love hurts and that I’m not much of an advocate for it these days. You’d think getting older would…
I missed the first parade but am going to see Barkus this Sunday in the Quarter – the parade made up a krewe of dogs. But first stopping at Lafitte’s to get a voodoo daiquiri and see if they will make some for my party on Endymion Saturday. Jamabalaya, mini muffelatas, stuffed mirliton and voodoo daiquiris – then a parade – what more could you want?

I went to my duet last night and my partner cancelled so I had a solo class on the reformer – good god it was tough – I don’t think I’ve done any other exercise that has challenged my body like Pilates. It really is all that but you really need a good teacher. I’ve been lucky to have been through some of the best in this city so far. Joni and Alexis at Uncle…
I’m in some short-lived vortex of incredible extra-sensory perception [read: let them eat cake in terms of friends and lovers] as well as acute “things to do” [a work load that is short of psychotic] and let’s not forget a consumer electronics vibe that is defeating [reamed by a nonfunctioning IPOD converter, a camera chord swallowed by a vacuum] not to mention hardware that slips off in your hands [a door knob rigged by Roy…
I just want to say that I live a charmed life. Really, I’ve had conversations with people today that make me think I live in an ever expanding universe where every day is new and different and yet it all contributes to this wide web of knowing. It’s pouring outside and Loca couldn’t walk this morning so she ripped two stuffed animals to their deaths and now is lying prone on the floor – snoring. A dog’s…

So today, let go of one of the vices or people in your life that is keeping you in less than optimal health. Upon closer inspection, your diet isn’t as great as it could be. And that person you have been avoiding might need to be finally be…
