…shortly after my previous post, I came across some photos on a blog I read weekly, from New Orleans, and saw the roots of an oak tree shoving up through the brick sidewalk, and when I see that sort of thing, or other images similar to the ones I took myself (shared below, quickie pull from my…
Keeping it Together
Ow. I checked my mailbox on my way inside from walking the dog this morning, and our yearly Starfest postcard was waiting in there. Just, ow. Anyway. Greetings, world, from my very last Monday at the place I work, ever. What a strange, strange feeling. It is not without its certain sense of expected liberty, but…
Misty Day, Reflections
Wednesday finds me in a better mindset, regarding the Vibe thang that had me in such an emotional dither yesterday. I went home after work and, after having a decent cry on J over a couple of cardboard boxes, we had a chat about all of that, and the various philosophies of grief. It is…
Peering at Change
As I write this, I have 30 minutes left to my work day and I have scarcely a voice to speak with. I had no idea that training someone how to do your job would kill your voice this much. I am obviously in the habit of not speaking very often. Who knew? These past…
Meanwhile…Hey Look, More Street Art!
The signs of imminent change are beginning to sprout forth, in several different ways. There are emerging blank spots in our apartment, where things used to be but are now all packed up.

We Are MOVING!
To New Orleans. We are moving. To New Orleans. We are. Moving to. New Orleans. We. Are. Moving. To. New. Orleans. We’re moving to New Orleans. No matter how many times I say that, it still scarcely seems real. But it does, at the same time. We are ridiculously excited! Last Friday, I was standing…
Weighing Decisions
I have played things fairly safe, my entire life. For example, when I graduated from college in New Mexico, back in the day, I had no obligations to anything. I could have gone anywhere. But, I did the smart thing, and came to Colorado, where my folks are, because they were happy to help me…
Voodoo Jar, Part 3
Voodoo Jar finale and job-interview update, all in one. Last week was sitting-on-eggshells stressful. After a smashing 1st interview, J proceeded to hear nothing for the entire rest of the week. I spent all day, every day, glued to my phone, waiting for a text or a call from him letting me know that he…
Mardi Gras
Happy Mardi Gras, world! Greetings, from my desk, for I am at work. Just about everywhere else, save for New Orleans and other places along the Gulf Coast, today is just a Tuesday. The same holds true where I’m at…but I’m doing the best I can. I’ve got the Mardi Gras Parade Cam running, via…
