What happens while I’m away
I called mom and she said, “I’m just going to marry Loca.”

Place-based attitude
The space you live in colors your attitude. Mom showed up at the LaLa and said the roses are all in bloom, the orchid on the table is beautiful and the children are flying kites on the bayou – all on a beautiful day – she said “life is happening here!” And I woke in a hotel room in NY, hearing horns blaring, feeling the cold air from the open window, and dreaming of people…

T minus 17 days and they all ask for you
It is now 17 days till T comes home but she is finally getting used to another time zone. Her body clock has adopted to Europe. Her taste buds are in Turkish heaven. Little by little her molecules are becoming more there than here. And yet the pelican, who should have left for the north by now, waits in the bayou for her return.

Seldom heard and there is a reason
Sitting in my hotel room in New York listening to CNN – so far I’ve learned that airlines are merging because they have to, salmonella has been found in cereal and was in pancake mix, the remedy for school violence is for students to be allowed to carry guns, and that it is 20 degrees cooler across the planet. What a way to start the day!

I was taken aback but told him that Steve had worked Esherick’s office, that had been part of the Sea Ranch project, and so maybe there was a similar aesthetic. In…

Woman goes on journey, comes home tired
I am looking forward to some R&R sometime in the near future. I was reading the media blogosphere and came across this interesting discussion or rant, and I want to salute this guy who wrote this response to working crazy amounts of hours.

Memories are what life is made of – creating them and cherishing them
My courtship with T has been on the fast track and I don’t want to lose sight of the steps towards each other at the beginning. Like the CD I gave her with songs that had Fiona singing “I Want You” on it and driving up to pick her up at her condo right off St. Charles, the street car rumbling down the neutral ground, the big white house she lived in with the porch…

Tired of silly love songs?
I was thinking of my exotic sweetheart – how she looks to Turks, to Americans, to the Spanish – I was telling a colleague that I am in love with a woman and she’s from Croatia and he chimed in – the Croatian women are beautiful!!! – and I said indeed she is and I thought of this song.

Welcome to the Wetlands!
That was the title of the 10th anniversary of the Vagina Monologues that was dedicated to the women on the Gulf South who underwent a catastrophic event. The stage was filled with celebrity but none more than Charmaine Neville who experienced the ultimate catastrophe – being raped on a roof while waiting for someone to rescue her. [Where were you George Fucking Bush? I only hope you are pecked alive by birds of prey before…
