Identity Theft
I was telling Augie that I wanted to write a post about online dating. "Before you do that," he said, "do a search on your blog for ‘online dating.’" So I did. But this post is different (so there). Although I truly believe that it is highly unlikely that I’ll end up with someone that

The Safety Word is “Bananas”
Nothing has made me laugh harder than that particular phrase in a loooong time. No, I can’t even begin to explain. The long weekend was so much fun that I had to stay out at the beach last night just so I could enjoy yet another amazing meal (pulled pork sandwiches (pig roast leftovers) with

I Made the Empire State Building Disappear
So I tried to take a picture of the Empire State Building on my way home tonight — the way the light was hitting it made it look almost fake, like part of a movie set. Apparently, my camera phone sucks — you can’t even see it at all. I’m home tonight packing for an

Back in the Saddle Again
And I’m waaaay tan. I week at the beach was just what I needed. I was able to clear my head a bit, and now the clouds aren’t quite as heavy as they were before I left. Three books, one lobster dinner/birthday party (complete with John’s traditional lobster hypnosis session, pictured above), the first smoked

The Sun May Be Out
for the first time this week, but the rain and clouds are lingering in my little corner of the world at the moment. Luckily I’m off to the beach next week to shake them away, but any love and happy thoughts you can send my way would be greatly appreciated at the moment.

I’m Generally a Nature Lover
But there is a bird that hangs out in the courtyard space outside my window who seems to think that 3 or 4 AM is a perfectly appropriate time to chirp his little lungs out. By the time the sun comes up, he’s gone. I have had many fantasies of pulling out a shotgun so
