Peaceful (cough, cough) Day
Yesterday was a fairly self-indulgent day. I made this almond and apple pastry, worked for a while, and then went out and shoveled up dog poo from my backyard. No one wants to do this in the winter, so things […]

This isn’t really what Lent is about. I haven’t been keeping a good Lent, largely because I’ve been sick since Ash Wednesday. I haven’t been doing anything except working and, when not working, lying around trying to recuperate. Lent is […]

You: Being Beautiful moved on from energy through pain and moods or temperament. They have little quizzes (they said I should be a teacher) and charts as well as truly revolting cartoon drawings of human innards. They had a list […]

I’m writing about business today. There’s probably someone else at xanga writing about something more exciting. My feelings won’t be hurt if you leave and read them. Work, you see, is great. I work at my computer, happily writing grant […]

Feeling sorry for myself. I have to go to the Next County to teach, but after that I think I’m going to bed.
