Setting: Sitting at my alcove window. First snow is falling. Coffee laced Bailey’s in hand.
Background Sounds: Bluegrass gospel intoxication.
I heard rumors of snow yesterday. All winter long I’ve been saying that I hated the cold, that I missed summer, but when I heard snow I actually was looking forward to it. I can’t pretend I [...]

hey y’all. so here’s the deal. I was sitting downstairs drinking coffee and eating toast ( while listening to mark knophler and emmylou harris belt out some amazing tunes) and realized that I had a lot to say about bluegrass, which really wasn’t bookish at all so I added another blog. it’s called bluegrass in [...]

Good evening ladys and gents. I’ve been a bit lax on my posting lately. I haven’t been meetings my personal posting goals. I need to leave soon so I can drive over an hour to contra dance, and I swore to myself I wouldn’t leave till I posted something. This is what I came up [...]
My Father’s Coffee

Visiting my parents’ house might cause me to revert to my old awkward and bitter self, but it does have one perk: My Father’s morning coffe or anytime coffee.
My dad is a real coffe drinker. Not an espresso or cappuchino man, but coffee, like the kind you have first thing in the morning sitting in [...]
A year later

It’s been a year since I’ve been unemployed. Actually I think the timestamp on my mom’s laptop ( which is what I’m writing this on) is wrong. It is Dec 26th now, about 12:31 am… I wasn’t working on December 26th of last year. At first, not having a job was like a relief. I [...]
Nostalgia for a lost time

Last night I watched Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in “Swing Time”. There is nothing like watching Ginger sing “A Fine Romance” in a snowy park on Christmas eve. Maybe it was because essentially I’m alone. (i.e I have no man in my life, at least one not serious enough to want to spend an [...]
it’s not the same

I am sitting in my parents house. It’s been remodelled and years since I’ve been back. The outside is the same but the inside I don’t recogonize.
The kitchen which used to contain brown wood cabinets now is in a bright white. It has a cozy feel while sterile at the same time. Either way it [...]
Winter is the time for re-reading…
Posted in Blogroll, books, contra dancing on December 23, 2006 | 7 Comments »
I’ve been a bit lax on my reading lately. Maybe it’s because I’ve been doing so much contra dancing.
So for my little retreat to my parents for the holidays, I thought I would try to re-read two of my favorite novels. Maybe it would help me remember why I used to spend so much time [...]
Greetings and Salutations

I’ve threatened to write a blog for a long time. I’ve even attempted a few- live journal and one at a place I can’t remember. The live journal one worked for a while, but it got boring. The other , well, if I can’t remember where it was, then that probably explains why I never [...]
