Excerpt of a Marriage.

Lorraine:  Do you own any The Cure albums that I can copy to my iPod? I need to explore my relationship with The Cure.

Dan: Glad you asked. I have 22 albums and compilations along with 60 or so tracks from a rarity collection... all on my ipod, which is not lost.

Lorraine: I am so in love with you.





It's true, I am.

Also, Dan found his iPod this week in the sofa cushions, while looking for my car keys which he found two days later in our large outdoor garbage can atop a Wendy's bag. Thanks, Honey.

I want my ipod back now. I knew this was a ploy to get your old ipod back. so this person you speak of as the one you love, could use it to down load music unfamiliar to a person of the 60's and have two ipods for the price of one. Theif................

It's been a wonderful fall. It seemed every tree has burst out in bright, hypnotizing gold this year, with hardly any red or orange, and I've been able to witness a lot of it. I'm immensely grateful to have the sort of work/life schedule where I can go out and enjoy the crisp air and changing colors and shocking beauty of fall. Unlike other years where I've had to tamp down my agony about the colder weather, for once, I was happy to put the summer behind me and walk into the future. In all honestly, this past spring and summer were maybe the most difficult I've traversed in my happy, comfortable first-world life. It's been a bit of a transition, leaving behind a good career and bustling office for a better career but lonelier landscape. Saying goodbye to my mare and finding her a better fit ultimately led to me taking a break from what has been an emotional, physical, social, therapeutic outlet and passion for me for many years, which in turn meant losing re...

A Balanced Life

Picking up the Copperpot on paint day at school (note the purple hair!) After coming back to work part time a month after I had the Copperpot, I was exhausted, shell shocked, and hyper aware of how tiny my baby still was. I couldn't fathom leaving her in anyone's arms but her grandmothers, and I was extremely lucky that those women took on that task so willingly in those early months to allow me to go back to work and try and figure things out.  When the maternity leave ran out and my baby was still tiny, despite the huge decision ahead of me, it wasn't even a decision. I couldn't send my newborn to a giant daycare. Or a babysitter. That's not to say that I think women who do are less good mothers - in fact, I think they're 100 times stronger and braver than I will ever be.  So I decided to quit my office job and pursue my side project of freelance writing as full time as time would allow while still being home with the critter. In just a few mont...
