“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?” Dr. Seuss

I thought I could back track through to the beginning of January to participate in a year long photo project of one a week, but all my pictures early in January are of school maintenance projects or equipment that needs to be checked. I can add these though. I did cut my hair off. I’m not sure yet if I… (more…)

There’s a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons– That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes– Emily Dickinson No. 258

Our daughter is named after her. My mother played her onstage when I was about 2 or 4 and they figured out I was smart because I started reciting huge swathes of dialogue after going to rehearsal. Well, smart or able to memorize. It’s winter and I’m… moody. Unsettled, disjointed. Unlikely. It’s not SAD exactly, it’s something near to it.… (more…)

Erstwhile Dancefloor Revolution

I REALLY do need to… (more…)

New Year’s Day: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. ~Mark Twain

Well it isn’t quite New Year’s day but we had some family stuff going on that precluded writing. I am relieved that 61 straight days of blogging is over. I’m glad I did it. I made more connections out of #Reverb10 after a bumpy start. I really enjoyed the people I’ve been reading and will add them to my blogroll… (more…)
