The Post-Thanksgiving Post-Mortem
The last 3 or 4 days have been so full of activity and emotion, I hardly know where to start. First off, of course, was the Thanksgiving holiday itself, which is kind of a blur (not due to drugs or alcohol, in case you're wondering), but just the intensity of emotion and activity. MG and I had...

Blanche.Live From C & P Coffee Company: Joining The Wifi Gen At Last!
There's a cozy fire blazing to my right, a soft dinging signals the house phone ringing, and a soft Hawaiian music and banter between two Hawaiian deejays on the radio/sound system over the house p.a. I've been spending the last two or so hours, with help from Pete, Matt, Bobby and Rafael, the owner...

As The Crow Flies
The rains have settled in again during the night after two relatively clear days. I am hearing tapping from the roof, which means the crows are up there, walking around and pecking at it. We have a surfeit of crows in this neighborhood. In the parking lot behind my building, which our apartment...

This Patch Of Blue Sky
I look for the patches of blue sky, out my window, they are there, however fleetingly. The blue is very lucent, almost liquid. I don't know, but it seems that the moisture in the air gives the blue that is there a special translucence. I do know that it is more precious to me for being fleeting. Who...

Thanksgiving In Washington, How's Yours?
It's cold out on my balcony. I just stepped out for a minute to look up at the sky, at the first glow of dawn, at 7:00 am. It's a dimly glowing slate grey/blue cloud cover. The balcony itself is wet with rain, and I dumped some water off the newspaper recycling container. The rosemary plant seems...

Tomorrow Is The Day To Eat, Drink, Be Merry, And Really Be Thankful
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Professor Peabody just brought home a new dvd/cd player with 5 disk carousel. He is now plotting how to wire it, as carefully as if he were stringing explosives. I am ignoring his muttering and typing, because it means nothing to me. He's muttering things like "Should I run...

It's A Good Life
It's the day before Thanksgiving, and the C & P Coffee Company is abuzz with talk of the holidays, who's going where, with family or without, what's for dinner, some grousing about family, who doesn't want to go, but is. Who's eating alone, and spending the holiday doing work. As usual, Addy, the...

The Wind Is Off The Water
The wind has swept the sky clean during the night. As I look out across the Puget Sound to the west, rose-tinged cumulus mass over the Olympic Mountains, but the sky above is clear and crystalline blue. Who knows how long it will last, though. The joke in Seattle is, "If you don't like the weather,...

Are Bloggers Really All Attention Hos?
It's come to my attention that we (meaning "us", colllectively, "bloggers" as a group), have been described as being attention seekers. Well, I never. Personally, I'd rather be toiling in a garrett, starving, and back writing angsty verse and memoirs in a composition book. But give a girl a little...
