Happy St. Patrick’s Day all! Yes, I know that the real holiday is Tuesday, but if your city is anything like mine, this was the weekend for the celebratin’ aka all-day drinking, and a ton of fun. And this year, as an added treat, the worst cab ride ever. Keep in mind, this is coming [...]

If I’m To Be Your Camera, Then Who Will Be Your Face?

Hello all. I thought a few pictures might be good as we all shift into 2009, away from the holidays, and onto…what exactly? I guess Martin Luther King Day…I get the day off work, and why not honor the man? Oh, and of course there will be an historic inauguration in a few weeks. One [...]

But I Can’t Talk To You the Way I’ve Wanted To

So, I hadn’t meant for my little vacation to be a blog-cation. The holidays are just so busy, no? Add to that the little odds and ends to wrap up. This is going to turn into a miscellany of items. But hopefully, you’ll enjoy them nonetheless.
First, here’s me in my ugly Christmas sweater. Witness its [...]
There Goes My Minnesota Girl
Posted in A Little Cheese To Go With That Whine?, A Traveling Girl, Holiday Time, So Strange, It's True on December 22, 2008 | 14 Comments »
Driving to Minnesota is one thing in the summer. And even then it’s almost unbearable. Driving to Minnesota in the winter is bound to make me gray, or bald. I’m not sure which would be worse–obviously bald, I could dye gray hair. Anyway, I thought the eight hour drive back to [...]

An early Merry Christmas to all!
In a few hours, I (hopefully) begin my drive to Minnesota. It all depends, of course, on the weather reports. I hope you’ll all keep your fingers crossed for me. But I also hope that by the time most of you read this, I’m either well on my way of [...]
I Got Red Blood, and I Got Blood Red Wine

“I had four glasses of wine last night,” I declared to my friends on Sunday evening.
“Nice, where were you,” was the typical reply.
“On a date.”
“How’d it go?”
“I had four glasses of wine!” I’d remind them. And realization would cross their faces. “Oh…Dating sucks.”
Yes, yes it does, but let’s back up a bit. To Thursday. I [...]
The One Where I’m Bound for Hell
Posted in Holiday Time, My Life on March 20, 2008 | 11 Comments »
A sign that my Catholicism of old is definitely seeping away.
A few hours ago I got an email at work that started “Due to the holiday weekend…”
“What holiday?” I wondered. I quickly began to scan my mind for a hint. Since I work in finance my initial reaction was “Well MLK and President’s Day are over. [...]
