Saudades This weekend I hosted a tiny dinner party. It was the first time that I’ve done such a thing in quite awhile, and it made me very happy. I really enjoy putting on my apron. (It is a very special one, you know.) It is a creative challenge to only use that which is in […] 6 responses November 25, 2007
Percolating Dreams – Part 3 I would like to start a company made up of highly-networked writers. I do not yet know what I will call it, nor what structure it could take.

[This is a] New Dress Well, welcome to my new place. (Wipe your feet.) There are plenty of reasons to love Blogger, but I still decided that I needed a change. Make yourself at home, all over again. (Dress from Rosie Thomas’ record When We Were Small) 9 responses November 23, 2007
I Think This is Better …than Buy Nothing Day: Make Something Day, courtesy of The Ecclesia Collective. But I say we call it “Make Something Weekend,” since my Friday will be consumed by my finishing these 25 pages of papers.

I’m thankful for the mysterious way those Psalms have pulled me out of despair, so many times. I’m thankful that King David sang/shouted/asked such awful (and awfully honest) questions–like, […] No responses November 22, 2007
Mercy is Entirely the Subject I ducked into my favorite local coffee shop early this morning and ordered an Americano in a warm mug. Sitting down, I felt slightly naked because I didn’t have a book with me. I always carry something. (I think it’s like policemen who carry guns.) At least I had my little moleskine journal.

I Am I am asked to impersonate Cinderella, on occasion. I am taking Echinacea and the letter C in a preemptive attack on you, germs. I am wondering how to get a Ph.D for free. I am a collector of old paper goods that fold well. I am sure that we fold well into each other when […] 9 responses November 20, 2007
Mobile upload. Missing the Train. The nice thing about missing the train is…having coffee with a great friend, instead. Ladies and gents, I give you Trevor Borden's wise hand. 9 responses November 19, 2007
Sad Mobile Upload. Stolen seat. Late breaking news in the travel adventure. Someone stole my nice new bike seat with the great shocks. The wheel and axle were locked up, but how do you lock up a seat? Trying real hard to bless instead of cursing right now. Lord let the person who sits on that nice cushy seat have […] 3 responses November 19, 2007
