Random & shallow

  • I like a clean, functional web site. The bells & whistles aren't important. Years ago when I was meeting with a printer he made a comment about the clean design and efficiency of the new site.  I didn't disclose that I was sleeping with the designer. A couple of decades later & I'm sleeping with the designer, who's now working on my web site. Launching in January
  • Two cases of E.coli last month. "Let's go to Shake Shack" is all that's heard when we head out. We rarely eat out...not in the budget. Plus, home cooked food just tastes better, especially in your pj's in your comfy chair. Walked into Shake Shack, walked out a half hour later poorer and a fresh batch of bad bacteria rumbling inside.Mine was a mild case, my other half had an absolutely horrible case.
  • Charlie talks more than ever and he thinks that we understand him. I don't know how to tell him that we're just not that smart, but somehow I think that he already figured it out. Still, he thinks we're not too stupid. I love him so, so much.
  • There needs to be a handbook on navigating the "golden years". Along that vein, etiquette classes need to be taught. I swear. Just basic manners, fgs. 
  • Wondering why people are so fixated on what is or isn't between someone's legs.
  • Wishing there was more on the mystery person who planted the pipe bombs in DC 4 years ago.
  • Missing the outdoor furniture folks and the excuses I'd try to use to get out of going to the Christmas party.  Ah, Garcia's.
  • This aliens among us stuff. Interesting. I'm still trying to figure out how David Copperfield makes my common sense disappear, so the alien thing is way beyond me.
  • A celebrity shouldn't have to read from a card when endorsing someone; if they cannot do it from the heart then they should just be quiet.
  • You know what love looks like at this age? It looks the same as it does at any other age, that's what was so surprising.  
  • Garcia's...they're still there. Absolutely the best Mexican food and the nicest family. Now I'm really homesick. Dear Santa 😊

Looking in the Rearview Mirror

For seven years I lived in a tiny apartment on what was a quiet street in a decent neighborhood. It was cheap, they welcomed cats, and I'd rented from the owners the first year I was here. There was a front yard with trees and flowers, I was happy.  A very old two story, light tan peeling paint on the stucco and wood trim. There's a non-locking entry door to a tiny mail "room" and then an entry door into the apartments. My apt was the first one as you came into the building. At first most of the tenants were responsible but as time went on and people would move out, who moved in were caricatures that could've been  found in Mad magazine.  Living in that building was quite an experience. There was a "lovely" couple from Ecuador who had just welcomed a baby; one worked as a guard, the other in construction. Lots of fighting, and the man threatened another tenant with a knife because he thought the man had backed into his (horribly parked) car. Their favor...

To Sleep: Perchance to Dream

-
 28 years ago I sat in a small courtroom a couple of rows in front of a former student. Apparently his lifelong marriage contract was ending on the same day that mine was. That was a very strange feeling. Life hasn't been rainbows and unicorns, nor did I expect it to be. But it has been real. It has been on my terms. There were no longer people going through my things.  Or cluck-clucking over my children. All the knives were gone from my back. "To sleep: Perchance to dream...." There was nothing, and I mean nothing, as wonderful as laying my head down on that puffy pillow & closing my eyes that night, knowing that my life finally belonged to me. I'm sure that's what Shakespeare was referencing.
