way more than a big toe

Posted on May 30, 2009 by Deanna

So, I did it. I just created a Facebook account. My question: will I be able to stick only a big toe in? My answer so far: we’ll see. I guess I’m a social unsociable sort. People are fine, especially familiar ones. I can live without them fine, for a while, anyway. Do I wish … Continue reading →

nascent old woman drifts and dreams

Posted on May 20, 2009 by Deanna

today is my perfection. bright, cold breezes chill the house corner. everyone is gone. the clouds are, too, hurried away to meet others like themselves. the trees have greened. grass is longer in the yard than the neighbors’, and I want to swim in it. immersed in pages turning, I find the ents have mooted … Continue reading →

Things are going, well, the way they’re supposed to, undoubtedly. I’m grateful for happy birthdays Tim and I enjoyed earlier this month. (One reason we got married is our birthdays are ten days apart, so we’ll never forget each other’s.) The next event will be our 30th anniversary in July. What do we plan for … Continue reading →

I walked along the bike path a few days ago, my temp job at Glory Bee a few days done. Like sunlight off the river, my thoughts reflected a positive view. The time at the warehouse gave me a different project, a bit of money, and a nice change of pace. By the last day … Continue reading →

“You just make up all the ingredients ahead of time.” Tim made this comment soon after I arose this morning. He crouched on the carpet next to his coin-collection book of silver dimes. I had just been processing out loud many elements of our weekend that I need to make happen, somehow, including lunch today … Continue reading →

Socrates was a loafer who cared for neither world history nor astronomy. But he had plenty of time and enough eccentricity to be concerned about the merely human, a concern that, strangely enough, is considered an eccentricity among human beings. ~Soren Kierkegaard, as quoted on an invitation to graduation for the Gutenberg Class of 2009.

reader fun

Posted on May 5, 2009 by Deanna

Yesterday I saw this and cracked up. Apparently there is a controversy over whether Kindles and iPods and so on should have audio readers for the visually impaired or whomever to listen to. I haven’t followed exactly what’s happened, but I liked the creative display here. It relates to a Star Trek movie – not … Continue reading →

busy bees and tasty trout

Posted on May 2, 2009 by Deanna

The past week I started off planning to focus completely on writing about my dad. Lately I’ve taken notes while he told stories, and I thought maybe I’d get something written and sent before final deadlines for Father’s Day essays. Then perhaps money would seep in to help keep our budget afloat. Monday morning my … Continue reading →
