A friend of mine in another state is having her 60th birthday party and sent me an e-vite. It’s an important year for all of us turning 60. It’s a sort of road map that says: “Two-thirds of the way done…” There was an excellent deal on air fares and I searched thru, thinking I […]

I cannot be quiet and still until I have shared that this world lost two good men this week. Monday, I received word that my brother had died. He was one of my best friends, a man who guarded my six (my back, for those not in the military) from the time I was actually […]
Throughout today, TAPS will play across cemeteries in honored memory of our fallen husbands, fathers, sons, daughters, mothers, aunts and uncles, grandfathers, great-grandfathers – calling back through time to the United States Civil War. It is played every night on United States military bases signaling end of day. I am incapable of sitting during the […]
In the flurry of learning of Rara’s troubles, I ordered a t’shirt designed by Rara and Grayson’s QueenCreative and accomplished by Redbubble. Yes, it cost $25.00. Gotta say, I LOVE IT! It’s a long sleeve t’shirt, I think my first. I’ve this thing about my arms. I want to look like the heroine of Terminator […]
Once upon a time, I gave myself the liberty to clear up some likely confusion caused by my posting, such as here. I’m sitting here, having had a pretty relaxed day, swaying in time to the tunes emanating from my Pandora selection of “Bobby Darin,” and experiencing flashing memories as each tune comes and goes. […]
The Crazy Irishman posted one of his poems on December 29, entitled, “lady in red, morning after.” Go read it, I’ll wait. A reminiscent gleam in her eye, a swift delighted memory smile and my draft notation to self: “Tell the story of the evening of the red dress – Christmas time with Rick – […]
Got word about 6:00 p.m. tonight that my dear friend Maggie, who has more aliases than a veteran CIA agent, had to say goodbye to one of her pack of three permanent greyhounds. I met Maggie because she fostered Ella, nee Dena’s Diamond, my current Chaser here at Chasing Rabbit Holes. The first time I […]
Yes, I am posting a lot today, but I could not let this day pass without acknowledgement of Winter Solstice Eve. I knew I’d written about it last year here, and read it again with some bemusement at the changes wrought since then. Tonight’s celebration almost got away from me. Whoa, Nellie! Slow down, HuntMode, […]
I had the ultimate luxury today. I slept, near as I can tell, 12 solid hours or so. I got up with an immediate list of things to be done today. Most of the tasks had been on the list for a while. Okay, I received the Angel Card “Honesty” today, which is where the […]
This: into this? Or, if I am lucky, this? “Charyot!” “Kjung Nae!” “Baro!” I tagged them as soon as class began. There was the Animal: tall, blonde and terrifying. The Sadist, aptly named as I watched him stalk the beginners. The Monk, bearded and apostolized, moving through the uniformed lines, stopping occasionally to press down […]
