I went to see my masseuse today because that knot in my lower back wont go away no matter what I do and I get up out of the chair like I am 90 years old. She said you have been under a lot of stress, I can feel it all through your body. The cause of the pain is the hip flexor which are the muscles that want to put you in the fetal…
I was talking to one of my neighbors and said, “I just got back from Croatia and I feel the need to hide.” He said, “That is the most exotic sentence I have heard in years.”
Met on Fat Tuesday Vowed to love you forever Never did look back
I was trying to put down my thoughts to someone about what it is like to want something, go for it, fail at it miserably, and then revisit the same endeavor in a different manner years later, go for it, fail at it. I can’t help but wonder – is the universe telling me to stop wanting this in my life? Should I leave this subject alone? I remember standing in line at the grocery…
On the same day, at the same time, in the same country – mo homo news. Croatian news report a sign erected on a beach in Split that says NO GAYS ALLOWED.

The morning light was pink under a dark layer of clouds – portents for today’s storm. No one vomited under cat watch, although they left something by the front door as a nice fuck you. At my desk to start the day and the…
Last night, in a little bit of a funk, I took the dogs out for a final stroll. There was a pleasant breeze and the temperature had lightened up from the heat of the day. I saw my neighbor looking for his cell phone and we were chit chatting. He said that he was so tired yesterday from riding the rough seas he almost fell asleep eating, which got us to talking about Mama Cass.…
From the start of this morning when I rolled out of bed to the sound of the Cabrini bells and felt I was late, late, late, for a very important date – I sensed a Monday of proportions bearing down on me. Needing to get to my desk and having added two more animals to the routine – Arlene got short shrift on her walk. Loca got completely shortchanged. And when I went to take…
