What is it about a well timed hug that can do wonders for your mood? My kids give the best hugs. Noah squeezes me tight around my neck, then pulls his head away, looks me in the eyes, and plays gently with my hair. He loves to play with my hair and there is no […]
My article is done and as of now sent off to the editor, after quite a few late nights of spit and polish. 4500 words of pure technical mumbo jumbo. I might actually even sound like I know what I’m talking about. With time to spare too, since my submission deadline was September 30. I […]
I have a few readers of my blog who don’t usually leave comments on my posts (mostly family and friends I personally invited but who do not blog themselves). However, they never fail to let me know their thoughts on what I write. Here’s just a sampling of some of that recent feedback: My darling […]

I did resolve to begin telling some college stories here, so I’ll start with a fun one. Spring Break 1990. Ah, what an adventure! I and six of my closest friends made the trip from Boston to Florida for a fabulous week of fun at my house. Three of us flew; the rest road-tripped. None […]

Edit: When I transferred posts from Blogger to this new blog location, the picture attached to this post didn’t make it. I haven’t figured out yet how to relink it. However, it’s a larger and less cropped version of the same photo used in the banner at the top of this page. I don’t exactly […]
Posted in Friends, Reflections on Sep 15th, 2005
I’ve been thinking lately about how high school has unexpectedly played a big role in my life this year, the result of an online message board through which I reconnected with old classmates I haven’t spoken to, or in some cases even thought about, in 17 years or more. I’ve invested a lot of time […]
I’ve become quite the delinquent blogger. How did that happen? The next couple of weeks will continue to be quiet for me (bloggingly speaking) as I settle into my new role at work. The honeymoon period is over and I am beginning to understand the beast I have taken on. Don’t you just love it […]
Posted in Tagged (Memes) on Sep 10th, 2005
One of the dangers of making friends in the blogosphere is getting “tagged” with these getting-to-know-you type things that seem to endlessly make the rounds. This one is courtesy of WordWhiz. On the bright side, it saved me from having to think of an original topic to write about today! 7 Things I Plan To […]
Kent and I have slightly different versions of how we met. I contend it was a blind date (which I was tricked into by my roommate), but technically we had met briefly once before. I just didn’t make the connection until he arrived for the first date. Kent had an art class with my roommate […]
Posted in Hurricanes, Reflections on Sep 6th, 2005
What a week. My attention was seriously diverted by Hurricane Katrina last week. I, like so many others, have been glued to the TV. We felt the effects here last year of three hurricanes—Charley, Frances, and Jeanne. Charley was the most damaging locally, though Jeanne was the one responsible for our new roof. But what […]
