I don’t know how we will get our news when the Times Picayune goes to three days a week. Who the hell wants to read nola.com – it’s so bad. They need a dose of aquatization – the term Steve Jobs coined about how to make the computer like aquarium viewing – just pure pleasure. Nola.com is very far from a pleasurable experience, as a matter of fact it is closer to an annoying one.…
We have been avidly catching up on Mad Men and still so impressed with the show. Peggy is possibly the best female character ever written for television. I knew she was channeling Mary Wells Lawrence, who I always associate with Plop Plop Fizz Fizz but there was an article in the New York Times this past Sunday confirming it. Lawrence is a Media Icon having invented some of the most classic ditties known in advertising.…
A long time ago someone gave me this poem: The Problem in Describing Color If I said––remembering, in summer The cardinal’s sudden smudge of red In the bare gray winter woods–– If I said, red ribbon on the cocked straw hat Of the girl with the pooched-out lips Dangling the wiry, black-nosed lapdog In the painting by Renoir–– If I said fire, if I said blood welling from a cut–– Or flecks of poppy in…
I met with my life coach and on my recent travels heard and saw some good advice to follow. These are a few that I noted down and have put firmly on my radar. The first might be the encapsulation of all of them – it’s someone else’s refrigerator mantra but I’m borrowing it: Decide how you want to live and who you want to be then begin to align your thoughts with the self…
I came to my desk this morning and almost ran the other way. Horoscope – right on target. Yikes! June 12, 2012 Taurus (4/20-5/20) You won’t have a full understanding of the true amount of work you have to do today until later in the afternoon, when social time is over and you’re back to spending some time by yourself. This sudden realization of the size of the pile of work in front of you…
Every day is another chance to get it right. Perhaps I ate more than I should have and exercised less than I could have, and we all know that it is diet AND exercise that helps you lose weight, but today is a good day to start again. I’m sitting in Boston airport on my way home from Nantucket and my annual girl’s trip. Four days – the perfect amount of time – and the…
The mares are in the pasture, the birds are in the trees, flowers in abundance, clouds drift across the blue sky – we’re on the island of plenty. One step closer to nirvana.
Before I left New Orleans yesterday, I ran over to Ochsner for more blood tests – this time testing for Sjogrens Syndrome – all of this linked to auto immune deficiencies.
waking up this morning to songbirds that get up earlier than our birds at home – and a light that’s very different from the light at home – and the people speak differently here – and then a turkey walks across the imaginary yard headed nowhere.
The New Orleans Times Picayune is going to three days a week and we are supposed to get our news online. Watch me hoofing it to the computer to count the dead toll – not. New York has stopped delivering mail on Mondays. Jet Blue used to be ideal – today I flew in a plane that was not even half-assed clean, it was disgusting – the bathroom toilet had piss all over the floor…
