I like to think I’ve changed for the better as I’ve gotten older. I’m still crazy, but a little less so, what with the diagnosis and medications and regular therapy. Plus? I don’t really have acute and quarterly nervous breakdowns, almost like clockwork, as I did all through college. I know now I get wicked […]

I stood in the kitchen at work with everyone else in my office– lawyers, partners, paralegals, assistants– watching the innauguration and President Obama’s speech and feeling stern and jubiliant and proud and a welter of things I don’t know I’d call hope. But I’d call it relief. I don’t think the speech is going down […]
Wishing you and yours a happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas,
Grievance-less Festivus,
and all-around laughter-filled, stress-free day.
Turning straw into gold, or, hey, there’s meat in there!

Here, chez BLC, the joke with grocery shopping is to be extra careful with the bag with the eggs. “Hey, be careful, there’s eggs in there!” is the invariable caution. Which makes every other “be careful” warning turn into “hey, there’s eggs in there.” Yep. One line, one trick ponies.
So when I was contemplating the […]

Oh, look! You’re taking pictures of food again!

“Oh, look! You’re taking pictures of food again!” Hah, hah, Better Half, very funny. Or not. I’ve been doing all sorts of things I used to do again. Like, oh, say, cooking dinner. And then taking pictures of it. For that to be “normal” is a judge of how far off I’ve been.
As far as dinner […]
Craftin’ ain’t easy

The BH’s colleague, Amy, who I’ve written about before, makes beautiful mosaic mirrors, boxes, and other crafty things under the name Riverview Crafters, is hosting a craft show at her home November 15, 2–8 pm. There will also be woven, leather, ceramic, and other textile and printed crafts. The Better Half, because he is a […]
Red Rock Canyon, 17 miles outside Las Vegas, and it might as well be on another planet. Amazing.
There are lots more photos to come, but of everything in Vegas, Hoover Dam was certainly monumental. The heat and the dry desert air made the colors and air clarity astounding– stark shadows, bright outlines, incredible brightness and sky. I’m also a huge fan (along with the BH) of Art Deco architectural elements, of […]
Our new precious
Posted in flickr, good things, just plain silly, links, meta, nerd, photos, sparkly on Oct 22nd, 2008
Our laptop has been kaput. Stone dead. Not resting. Demised, bereft of life, off the twig, shuffled off the techno coil, kicked the bucket, and joined the choir electronic. Our laptop is no more. It has ceased to be. It has expired, and gone to meet its maker. It is pushing up the techno-daisies. Dead. […]
