I want to say to the world, just hang on, give me a second. I’m just over here trying to reinvent myself. It’s not easy, and it’s gonna take a minute. So back off, and quit tapping your feet and drumming on the desk top. I’m not sure I know what I want to beContinue reading “Reinvention”

Yeah, well, I’m going to go to my un-church for the first time since the recent unpleasantness began. They are still distancing and requiring masks for indoor functions, which is just grand. I believe there will be children running about, so maybe we’ll need two masks. At this point, who knows. As one of myContinue reading “I am not…wait, yes I am”

I came of age as a feminist very early in life.  I believe I was about eight.  Catholicism was requisite for membership in my family, and so I was educated by Catholic nuns.  It was the 1960s, and they still wore the formal habits, with a square-framed black headpiece that covered their heads and cheeks,Continue reading “Fail better”

My friend Chris is a movement. He never lives in the same place for very long periods of time – he counts New Orleans as one of the places he’s been in the longest. He was there more than 10 years, I believe. He’s from somewhere around here in NC, but he’s live in theContinue reading “A movement”

Ya know, I amaze even myself at times. I can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on the regular, usually because I can’t leave well enough alone. I had a problem with a website I’ve volunteered to help with. It’s somewhat fun, until…it’s not. I ran into a problem last week that I thoughtContinue reading “Can’t stop. Ever.”

Today has been the technology day from, oh I don’t know where – Hell is too mundane. Perhaps it was the day from Betelgeuse, which is probably in the process of blowing up now as we speak (although we won’t see it for several hundred more years or so). But yeah, Betegeuse gets my voteContinue reading “Shakespeare would not have a website”

Posted on Facebook earlier today: Feeling like going off about some things…First, it’s effing 91 degrees outside, and muggy. I left Louisiana for THIS? it wasn’t this bad during the summer when I first moved here, but hey – no worries. If the glaciers melt we’ll have plenty of water to cool off with, soContinue reading “Random dissatisfaction”

So. Yesterday a significant relationship ended. i said goodbye to someone that has meant something to me. Technically a professional relationship, but so much more. I rarely have the opportunity to have a rational, yet emotional, parting with someone in my life. This is one of those rare times when I’ve been safe to haveContinue reading “Thanks for the rest of my life”

I was struggling – yea, struggling – to synchronize my iPOD today. It’s an iPOD Classic, with something like 160GB of space for downloading music. I have more than 140GB unused. This particular one is a used device, because the last new one that I purchased was laundered. I left it in the pocket ofContinue reading

Thinking. Not a good choice. I feel as though I should be doing. Doing something productive. I was told long ago that I should not should on myself, and I suppose I should listen to that advice at some point. But that point was not today. I figured out last night that one reason I’mContinue reading “Choices”
