Well, I’ve done it again. It’s been almost a month since I’ve been here. Not that I haven’t had plenty to talk about, mind you, and maybe that’s the problem–there’s been too much to talk about. It’s hard to know where to begin. I’ll just start at the beginning. Worked for Julie Andrews and all … More Time to get off the couch
It’s been almost two weeks since Charlie died. I’m still taking it pretty hard. For days after I got the news I could hear Charlie’s voice in my head, and I started dreaming about my grandfather again, who has been dead for 16 years and to whom I was very close. Obscure moments from the … More Monuments
Item 1: I have been having strange dreams. REALLY strange dreams. You know the kind: when you wake up in that “WTF?” state, and there’s still a little crazy on your face, and you want to tell someone–anyone–what just transpired in the dark abyss of your skull, but you have too much on your to-do … More Minutia

I must say that I’m pleased with yesterday’s Geena Davis allusion, because today I saw an ad on TV for a new show in the fall lineup about a WOMAN PRESIDENT, … More Geena and Joey, sitting in a tree, F-E-R-T-I-L-I-Z-I-N-G

My OPK was vividly positive at 1:30 this afternoon; at 1:40 I called to set up my insemination appointment for later this evening, only … More Wait, let met get this straight…
