I dreamed we sold our dogs last night. But then changed our minds and tried to go get them back. I looked up what this dream might mean and all the dream site said was: Dog Pay attention to dreams about dogs, as they often bring important messages. Dog dreams that are positive mean that the dreamer is lucky in friendship.
Okay so I could have entitled this post TGIF – a title that I’m sure if you searched my blog would come up too many times to count. So let’s not say TGIF because really that is like saying I’m so glad this week is over and am I? Well, I am happy to be entering a slower pace than how this week started but wasn’t it exciting to be getting on a plane to…
A friend admitted to me almost guiltily that he reads my blog and said, “It seems a little creepy at times as if I am being so voyeuristic” – and I said, that’s just what it is. Yes, you are getting a slice of my life and my interior but not all, honey, so don’t think you’re getting all. But the parts you are getting are the parts I’m confronting on a daily basis. The…
We went to see Meschiya Lake at the Ogden with her band and it was loads of family fun. Tin was very impressed with the band and the acoustics even though I felt like her voice was getting drowned out in the large space. But she liked Tin and she dedicated her last song to him. She said after the show that he (Tin) was keeping beat in twos and fours so well. Meanwhile, although…
I’ve been going 90 miles an hour and am about to put on the brakes because I feel like I’m going to implode. Exit stage left. Here is my horoscope – how appropriate: January 27, 2011 Taurus (4/20-5/20) If your pace is feeling out of whack with the rest of the world’s today, it is probably because you are going way too fast — the people who are in your life right now just cannot keep…
Deacon John said there are three things to bring happiness: 1) someone to love, 2) something to do, and 3) something to look forward to. In order of importance, I list what I am grateful for: 1) I came home last night to a clean and warm house courtesy of my gf who waited for me enthusiastically by the front door with open arms. There was also a little boy waiting for me who is…
The first thing I did when I got home last night was to cook dinner for the family (and the friends who showed up). Chicken marinated in creme fraiche and Creole mustard, risotto with broccoli, and Arab bread. There is nothing like being on the road that makes me want to get in front of the stove and have a real meal. While you could eat out every night, or get take out, there is…
I believe it was Emerson who said the whole world exists in your backyard and there I had beens in the cultural apex of the world, New York city, and missed the one event I would have most enjoyed: documentary screening about Walker Percy. Doing a cursory catch up I saw this listed on a blog and thought damn, damn. When I was decades younger I wrote to Walker Percy, sort of a fan letter…
Last night, I got out of New York by the skin of my teeth and in time to visit with Tin and some friends who were in town to make music. The New York Times had run an article about Jack White producing a Wanda Jackson album, and a friend sent me the album as a gift from iTunes – it’s amazing when you tell yourself you are not going to buy music or books…
I walked about fifteen blocks to go meet a source for breakfast and the snow was coming down fast and furious – wow – I entered the restaurant covered with layers of snow and all I could think about was getting out of Dodge. Luckily, it was worth the walk as my source was able to answer a lot of questions that have been rumbling around my brain. I walked back in the driving snow…
