Quiet Please

Do you ever wish you were a quiet little bunny? And you lived in a wonderful forest full of flowers and grass and cute, happy, friendly animals? And it was warm, and sunny, and beautiful all the time? And all the little animals all got along okay? All you needed to do all day was [...]
Saving Socks, And Also: Why I Must Be A Loony
December 7, 2011 By 13 Comments
Okay, so socks. Love em, right? I love socks. I wear them around the house. I wear them to bed. I have specific socks that are better for walking. I have probably 40 pairs of socks and it doesn’t feel like it’s enough. Why? Because I also have shitty socks. I have socks I don’t [...]
Declining The Invitation To Crazytown
October 21, 2011 By 6 Comments
I have met people, a lot of people actually, who are really, really good at fooling themselves. For various reasons. These are coworkers or family or friends, or the orbiting wackos in our lives.

Over the weekend in Portland, Dave and I visited one of the restaurants we used to frequent for breakfast. We don’t like to wait at restaurants. Or rather, I’m ambivalent. But Dave super hates waiting in line for pretty much anything. The ferocity of his dislike balances out my ambivalence. So I can just say [...]

Today is Tuesday. When I woke up this morning, I had no designs to hike to the top of Saddle Mountain. But somehow, that’s what we did. It was a beautiful day. About twelve hours ago, I said, “We should go on a drive. Let’s go to Saddle Mountain.” And so we did. That was [...]
Here’s My Goddamned Happy List
August 17, 2011 By 8 Comments
I realized recently that I talk about My Goddamned Happy List all the time, but I never actually wrote it down. It’s mostly a mental list, but then it’s easy to forget what makes me happy, and then I’d be a walking existential crisis. And I know me, I’d probably start writing bad poetry. My [...]
