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, [...]
I’ve been here in Maine for several weeks and have spent most of my time being determinedly on vacation. From just about everything. I’ve been eating, drinking, playing, sleeping, watching TV, sleeping, eating, drinking, playing… and that’s about all. And yet as I sat down to write this, I realized that I could spend hours [...]
This morning I played Scrabble with God.
Yeah, I know, you’ll probably find me either sacrilegious or crazy… but I don’t have another explanation. I had just sat myself down by the stove, where I turned on the fan so that I could enjoy my first cigarette and cup of coffee of the day – jump-starting [...]
An odd occurrence… I came across a website which had taken a quote from my blog… of ALL quotes, oh my!
“Accidents occur mostly because of the stupid, macho attitude of Lexus drivers and oversized vehicles who think they own the road… But if you piddle along like you should, you’re pretty safe.”
This is an excerpt [...]
Sunday night, another rainy day… but at least it’s not raining now.
This Middlebury Summer is not what I’d hoped it would be in some ways, and yet in others it’s been magical. The weather has been dreary, wet and cold; not what any of us were hoping for. It depresses me in particular to think [...]
