Jumbled thoughts

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Sometime, either Friday or Saturday (details are rough and sketchy), my sister received a marriage proposal from a guy she’s known for just over two weeks.  She emailed our mom for advice, since 36 years ago, she was in a similar situation.
My friend Shay has been staying with me for the last week or so, […]

Memorable weekend

Monday, May 29th, 2006

My family has a tradition of moving over Memorial Day Weekend, so every year, I’m grateful when Memorial Day comes and goes without boxes, bubble wrap and moving vans. When they don’t include moving, I have always been partial to holiday weekends. People kick back a little more than normal, comfortable in the knowledge that […]

The new look–an update

Sunday, May 28th, 2006

The new banner image is up, and the fancy new digs are coming together (thanks, as always, to Scott).  There are still a few clean up tasks to do, but my internet connection failed towards the end of the afternoon, so we didn’t get to do all we had hoped.  Damn Comcast.

Random Friday–Holiday Weekend, here I come!

Friday, May 26th, 2006

It’s Friday once more, and as is my Friday tradition, it is time for me to set my pod a’shufflin’ and report back the first ten songs it spits out. I promise not to omit, alter or justify any of the songs that show up. I expect all who play along to adhere […]

Tonight free time equaled exercise time

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Tonight was the first night in more than two weeks where I had nothing scheduled. There were no meetings, no goodbye dinners, no dates and no movies. Needless to say, I have been looking forward to tonight since last weekend.
For many weeks, I have been promising myself that I would get myself back into regular […]

Weekday lunch with my dad

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Monday afternoon I had lunch with my dad. I’ve lived 3,000 miles away from my parents for the last four and a half years, so a weekday afternoon meal with a parent is a rare and special treat. He had been in Boston for his high school reunion (40 years!), and managed to […]

Saying So Long

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

I said goodbye to Ingrid tonight, standing at the corner of 2nd and Poplar. The crew had gathered at the Standard Tap for one last evening together. As we walked down the sidewalk, farewells were said, as people branched off to their cars. Seth was going to drive me home, and Ingrid […]

Sixty seconds of perfection

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Saturday afternoon, I had a perfect moment.  Everything in the universe conspired to remind me that I was in the most right place, at the most right time.
After finishing an imprompu lunch with a seldom seen friend, I walked over to Jin’s Produce to buy the ingredients for a salad I was bringing to a […]

Candlelight Memorial

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

A quote straight from my building’s Board of Director’s monthly newsletter:
Unfortunately, one of the birch trees in our front garden has died. A candlelight memorial service will be held. We are in the process of getting bids to remove the dead tree and replace it.
The emphasis is all mine.  There are no words.

Random Friday–In the last few minutes of Friday

Friday, May 19th, 2006

My schedule today was different from the norm, and so I haven’t gotten a chance to get my Random Friday Ten up until just now. But I can’t let a Friday go by without setting my pod to shuffle and reporting back the first ten songs it spits out, now can I? The rules are […]
