All right, so now I’m – very slowly – getting back into the swing. I feel more and more like sharing what’s been going on, but for the moment most of it is uninteresting, and the interesting parts are kind of bizarre. I’ll need more time, and a sense of distance from what I’ve been [...]
The Falling Leaves.
Falling is a noun, Leaves is a verb.
The struggle of adapting to a new life in Paris is giving way to a tentative sense of relief that I’m actually able to… adapt. At almost 50, it’s somewhat daunting to have to make such drastic changes in lifestyle. I suddenly have more sympathy for [...]
OK, name that man… and you may have some idea of how I spent my evening! (Dan, you can’t answer right away, no fair…) And yes, that is an autograph pen he has in his and. And no, you may not comment on our respectively skewed faciae…
Just wanted to drop in and let you know that I’m finally a real person… I have an internet connection!!! There are some issues with the wifi, but in my 10 square meters, I think I can handle using the ethernet cord while waiting for the wifi to become operational.
It’s fast, too – not as [...]
Today I met four people I didn’t know yesterday, and am very happy for it indeed.
But let me preface this by saying that last night I read the first pages of a book by Neale Donald Walsch (of “Conversations With God” fame) called… “When Everything Changes, Change Everything.” In this book, he offers exercises – [...]
To celebrate the first whole new month back in Paris, I’m making some new resolutions. I’m not going to share them all with you today, because if I do I’m sure to bollocks it up… suffice it to say that they have to do with health and happiness. That doesn’t tell you much, I know, [...]
Well, no email, nothing happening on the web, everybody either asleep or gone off to work… Maybe it’s time for another blog post?
I’m writing this from the Perche, at 6:30 or so in the morning. Huh? you may ask. Don’t, it’s boring. Just insomnia, thinking about all of the o-so-icky administrative stuff I have to [...]
Last day in Paris – or in France, I should say, as I’m out in the Perche.
It’s strange, but since I’ve been back I haven’t felt much of a need to post to the blog. There are several reasons for this… one of them is that I’ve been too busy running around to actually do [...]
There is so much to say, so much to tell… I haven’t written for a while because it’s difficult to synthesize what’s been happening. So perhaps instead of trying to write something coherent and (perhaps) interesting, I’ll just content myself with a newsy note.
As I write this I’m in Paris, at the apartment of my [...]
The problem with feeling cold is that the body and mind enter into a kind of protective hibernation. No, by many people’s standards, it’s not THAT cold here, but by MY standards, it’s glacial. And the weather experts don’t sound optimistic that things will improve. Friends in Paris tell me I’m a wuss and should [...]
