All Good Things

About Me

I drive a Volvo station wagon. My black standard poodle Abbs sits in the passenger seat. We like burritos. We like naps. I sing a bit too loud in grocery stores. I prefer the window open and feel sad in high rise buildings. I read before going to sleep each night even though sometimes I have trouble stopping. I try not to let the fear fester. Florida is not a place I would ever live. Whenever I try to take shortcuts I get lost. Who I'd like to meet:People who think they have the answers. People who have no idea what the answers are. People who look for answers. People who don't believe there are answers. People who are sure the answers are different for everyone. People who are sure there is only one answer. People who believe the answer is less important than how well we love. People who love to answer. People who answer to love.

The Most Beautiful Dog In The Park

Today was an ordinary day until I stepped out into such strong winds and bright sky for a late evening walk with my dear girl, Abbs.  Abbs brought along a smile wide as a city block.  Wind...

Walter Is Waiting

Walter is waiting for his carrots.  In the light green barn next to the light green house where it is raining just the same as it is here.  Walter is waiting for me to brush the crusted mud ...

SOS!

Monday I’m pretty lucky to have a frog in my wall.  He (or she) has been living with us for a long time.  I guess I think of frogs as boys, pretend princes actually, that you kiss and ...

It’s Good To Go Where You’ve Never Been

  Getting There My head kept dropping. You never notice how heavy your head is until you're falling asleep upright. I kept picking it up, like I'm learning to pick up my mind when it drifts somew...

A Mouse In My House!

I'm bordering on hysteria.  Seems while we were away on Christmas holiday some new residents moved in.  This is only punishable by death.  And I'm a vegetarian. Things are not going wel...
