Shouldn’t there be a picture of a tent or something? Probably. But you know what? We discovered that we hate tents. Okay, that’s too strong. We hate the feeling in our bodies, particularly our necks, okay, particularly my neck after sleeping in a tent. Maybe it was the bottle of wine. And this way, I [...]
The extent of our conversing these days (I am madly doing fundraiser business and Simon is writing a $100,000 dollar grant…and, oh yeah, helping me with fundraiser business. ‘Cause you can’t live with me and not help me. I have this way of sucking people into my exciting vortex): SIMON. “I just chipped my front [...]
The sexiest photo I have ever taken of a bunch of clover. After Simon told us he was looking for a ‘host of mutants.’ Welcome to my geek world.
I was momentarily considering taking a job that would require writing five “newsflashes” every day for a blog at an inordinately low price. My husband talked me out of such madness, suggesting perhaps I didn’t need more things to distract me from the play I’m trying to write—let alone the fragmented brain required to come [...]
Pick up the earlier part of the story here…soon to be posted on my friend Tim’s website here. And then of course, I can’t forget her final question: “Do you work?

I found this little bit in my files…okay not exactly in my files…but on a crumpled envelope…though I do aspire to have files and be that organized. So let’s just say I found it in my files! “Wrestling depression. My depression. To its knees. Easy as pie. Um. ‘Cause it’s not severe. Just slight. A [...]
Saturday and Sunday and Monday were gorgeous days in Toronto! As a family we were utterly compelled to walk and walk and walk and enjoy the blissful weather. Simon’s mohawk was also behaving admirably which added to our mutual satisfaction. Mostly mine. I like his hair. I like him.
This is about the time of night when I get so tired—to the point of nausea—and feel like I could fall into bed and sleep for fifteen hours. 9:40 PM is the precise time this feeling sets in. Just like at precisely 3:30 PM my need for coffee suddenly hits me like a ton of [...]
Sitting in my local Second Cup, and by local, I do mean local. This Second Cup is just up the street from where I went to highschool. Actually when I was in high school there was no Second Cup. But now there this, and all the cute highschoolers come here and hold hands. At least [...]
What’s a blog? I’m so out of practice. What day is it? Month? Year? Everything’s a blur. I’ve forgotten what it means to write. To have things to say. But the fact that my computer even started (it was threatening to not) is a sign that I need to remember. Soooo….the last two weeks of [...]
