My 4th: Goats, Explosives, and Wickedly Good Martinis

July 6, 2010

Wow, gone for a few days from home and my PC and I’m struggling to catch up! I was off having a fantabulous time in one of my all-time favorite southern U.S. cities: Charleston, South Carolina. Here are a few snaps…it was a very diverse experience, from farm life to fireworks, to Hall’s Chophouse* to [...]

Little Horse, Big Name

May 15, 2010

I’ve never see anything cuter in my entire life! Somehow I’m just hearing about this little horse with the big name. Einstein is the smallest mini horse ever born, and what he lacks in stature he more than makes up for in personality. I’m just dying! If these videos don’t make you smile, nothing will. [...]

What am I made of?

April 9, 2009

I’m trying to fall asleep. In vain. I’m lying here in bed, trying to type away the nerves…my dog beside me (yes, in my bed). It’s our last night together and I am absolutely gutted. I’m trying to be excited about tomorrow, but right now I just don’t want the sun to come up. I [...]

The Little Engine That Could

March 13, 2009

I don’t know why it always seems that the light bulb goes on, the sea parts, the realization hits, and the missing pieces fall into place only after the proverbial shit hits the fan. Why is that? Anyway, today I had a good result from my refusal to think about anything but a positive outcome [...]

Happy NEW Year

January 1, 2009

So what happens when the shit hits the fan and you don’t know which way is up? You soul search. And that’s what I’ve been doing these last couple of weeks—in between Christmas, hiking, swimming, New Year’s Eve, and long walks by the beach. (Yeah, Oz isn’t all that bad, I must admit.) I suppose [...]

Thirty-three years later, I’m still having my cake…but this year, it is sweeter than ever…

It makes sense…

May 16, 2008

that since the birth of reality TV, we’ve become one nation, under God, indivisible with cameras and viewers for all. We’ve become a nation of hedonists, sadists, masochists, and voyeurs, and sadly, I can’t exclude myself from the status quo. Because I love reality TV, and since that’s not enough, I am now addicted to [...]

The Gift Horse

April 29, 2008

I’m dreaming in color, fantasizing with acute awareness, living in black-and-white. I feel like my soul has been infiltrated, that perhaps a little gift horse has been delivered to the doorstep of my heart. Will I blindly admire the beauty and craftsmanship of this steed? Will I be mesmerized by its lines and stature and [...]

Diamonds Are Not My Best Friend

April 26, 2008

Been thinking about this quite a bit lately, the whole I-need-a-rock-of-an-engagement-ring phenomenon. In the latest celeb news, Pete Wentz waxes philosophic about how fiancée Ashlee Simpson’s impromptu engagement ring is not a “conflict diamond.” Then here comes Carmen Electra with her black diamond, ’cause the whole Til Death Do Us Part gurney photos with ex [...]

Memory

April 16, 2008

The mind can be a terrible thing. Sure, it is often the mind that propels the body to accomplish superhuman feats; it is the mind that enables us to soldier on through even the most difficult of times. Yet, it is the same mind that fails us when one too many a day have passed. [...]
