Love Is A Complicated Thing. It's Never Simple.
I've got The Bangles on, while I'm getting dressed to go look for work. The nice thing about this dress is that it can go either way: for work or play. Depending on how you accessorize it. That's the rule: it's all about the accessories. I suppose that's no earth-shattering revelation to any woman...

It's Morning In America
The rose-tinged sky outside my window, above the diamantine, glittering Olympic mountains tells me that it is mid-morning. I have seen this view for 2 years and I never get tired of the beauty and the peace of the water and mountains. There's another kind of morning in America, Ronald Reagan's...

Tis The Season To Be Jolly
I just found the most gorgeous Donna Ricci dress for a song at the local chapter of the Junior League's Discovery Store. I shop there a lot, and they happened to be open today (unusually) when I went to go pick up some cds that I had placed on hold at Easy Street Records, a records afficionado...

In The Company Of Men
I'd like to second Troosha's beautiful poem celebrating the good things about the male of the species, to offer a counterbalance to some of the male-bashing that seems so rampant here. As a positive alternative, I'd like to say I enjoy the company of male friends, and right now, for example, I have...

There Is No Other Troy For Me To Burn
Sinead O'Connor is a classically trained operatic singer. She's pop, so's Christina Aguiluera, but don't let the bimbo outfits fool you, they're no Brittany Spears, and we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto. And I thank God, I am not in Kansas, because from what I've seen here of Kansas, Ohio and Iowa,...

What Has Blogit Become?
This was supposed to be a WRITER'S MARKETPLACE. Yet, when I look around all I see is ugliness, man-bashing, natteing, gossiping, idle trash-talking pseudoChristian NeoCon backstabbing. I am not perfect, I've admitted my sins and asked for forgiveness, yet you, who profess to be CHRISTIANS and decent...

Excitable Boy, They All Said
I am sitting at the Mission-style table, balancing this new toy on my lap, and trying hard not to fat-finger the keys too badly and make too many typos..gr. Kevin, another habitue' is here on my right, Bobby, a regular C & P customer is here as well. We're working out schedules, to-do lists, they're...

Old Times And Good Friends
Marco de Carveilho is playing today, his usual Saturday live Brazilian jazz guitar at the C & P. I'm just getting ready to head up there. I've missed hearing him play. Over the summer he gets busy with weddings, which pay better, and I think he's starting to get some of the recognition that he...

Rumors Of My Sex Transformation Greatly Exaggerated
Rumor has it that I am a) two people, Professor Peabody and Blanche. or b) a man. Last time I checked, I blossomed at puberty. I am re-posting a picture I had taken recently at my favorite spot. I'll let my readers be the judge, lol. I don't have a picture scanned yet of Professor Peabody, but I...

Back To Our Regularly Sceduled Journal Blog
And now for something completely different. We have a computer savvy friend over now to set us up on wireless for the laptop and to clean up the desktop. M is well worth the time and money, because he's already taught us several neat things about how to configure our hard drive, save and back up...
