I had a performance, a rendering, (a clown interpretation is also a possibility) Saturday night, which made Sunday particularly relaxing. The day after a show always feels so delicious because gone is that rumbly feeling in the gut. Lunch was also particularly chilled because it was at my adopted (not officially) sister’s new house. Heather, [...]
Elsie lies beside us indicating that she is ready to face the day. Her not so subtle hints: constant animal like movements in every direction. Splayed on her back then quick on her knees rocking like an eager puppy; now back into downward dog chanting doo-be-doo-be-doo, then summersault back to prone. Repeat. The best part [...]

Unfortunately (or fortunately) our grubby hands were unable to obtain all six seasons, otherwise we would have experienced our entire cottage excursion [...]

She’s feeling powerful. In her wide pants with the fitted green tank top. She looks…appealing. Not to mention her baby. Beautiful and charming. Courting all the sales women with her giggles and fluttering lashes. The woman in green tries on three dresses, but rejects them all. “They’re not quite right. Too bad,” she says to [...]
Just a kneeling girl. That’s all.
We’re sitting in the movie theatre preparing for a late night screening of Julia and Julia. I’m elated because I’m in the middle of my two smart women. I have them contained, pinned down. They WILL answer my questions. ME. I need your help. SISTER. I helped you last night. ME. You didn’t seem interested [...]
