It’s a really calm Sunday morning. I hardly get a greater pleasure. The other night I celebrated the summer solstice my own way, simply by staying up late. I wanted to be one with the last light of the longest day. Seriously. Around 10:30 I gave it up for night and went inside, although the almost … Continue reading
i slept like a log no a brick no a dead man i dreamt of a time when a much younger man on a plane heading west at least younger than today i casually leafed through a new york daily news i sat like a stone no a stiff no a sentry i pictured a … Continue reading
That’s what I want That day that never ends. Not because I’m too busy or harried Not because “there aren’t enough hours in the day” As people say Just because Some days are better than others You know they are memories as you live them You watch yourself like a fly on the wall And … Continue reading

Where do I start? Right here I guess. For a lack of anywhere better. The coffee hasn’t yet kicked in so I’m moving a little slow and for some reason the cat is particularly clingy at the moment- he’s sitting right under my feet. He just ate his breakfast and it won’t be long now before … Continue reading
I promise this isn’t a weather report but it DID snow overnight. And that’s funny ’cause if it snowed here, there must be an awful lot of snow in environs further north. And this with Spring only three days away! And not a moment too soon. But it didn’t snow much and it won’t be here … Continue reading

I’m being mean to my cat. I don’t mean to be mean to him and it’s so out of character for me, but he’s whining all the time and the sound of his voice is making me literally climb up the wall. Well not really literally. My health insurance (or lack thereof) has forced me … Continue reading
Hey, I thought about you and it was quiet and measured and a nice harkening back. I thought about you and feel in my heart I can forgive you. I wish I could’ve sooner. I just need you to know. Back then, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t. I know it took … Continue reading
it’s so apparent you’re stating the obvious and it’s redundant we’ve talked about this over and over again have things moved forward? or stayed the same here? i don’t see any progress or healing either talking and blah blah rehashing and so futile with no end in sight or change anyway are you happy with … Continue reading
I had a really boring day yesterday. This is strange because generally I don’t get bored much and do know how to keep occupied. Not as in “keeping busy” as they say, or “finding something to do” either. Generally I enjoy doing what it is that I do with my time and feeling pretty satisfied. … Continue reading
It’s been a long, dark and cold winter and I’m more than delighted it’s spring. Now mind you, we’ve really only had a couple of days of any REAL winter this year, although it was hard to tell. That may have been a couple of days in January —oh yeh— and a few hours of snow … Continue reading
