REALITY?: Say…
I suppose that just as with “nice,” if you have nothing “good” to say, it’s best to say nothing at all. Continue reading

REALITY?: Garden Plots
Cultivate a happiness that comes from knowing others. Walk the garden paths seeking all varieties and save the seeds to plant those that are perennial and hardy stock. Take joy in vibrant blooms and save the memory. Stroke the softness … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Journeys
I envy you your journey, but not your trip, I say. Because there is only so far that I can go along for now. Our paths are ultimately the same, but I am traveling slower, and can only watch and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Gender Differences
Most of my life was spent in the firm belief that aside from sexual differences, men and women basically could think the same way and could perform at least mentally and emotionally alike if it became a learned behavior. That’s … Continue reading Continue reading

CURRENT AFFAIRS & REALITY: Reagan
This morning I shall visit my father, and we will talk about the death of Ronald Reagan in all its personal relevance: “If they couldn’t cure Reagan’s Alzheimer’s, they couldn’t help Mom,” “Do you remember him in that movie about … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Filler
Yes indeed, this is just a filler post that I like to leave at the top of the page whenever I’ve just posted something dumb and dismal. Yes indeed, I do get gloomy, don’t I? The rain and lack of … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Internet Travel
I like playing with interactive fiction and hypertext. I’m fascinated by the way the trails lead you away from and into the forest. I’m also spatially impaired, directionally dysfunctional, and one of my greatest fears in life is getting lost, … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: By The Numbers or Devil in a Plaid Shirt
I think sometimes I just use numbers to make some sense of nonsense. But then again, the world is charted, estimated, referred to and broken down by every form and angle, quadrant, scale and mile. Numbers are my god, my … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Timing
Balance is the key, and not my strong point; juggling being more my way of life. One crisis at a time; take one a day as needed. Not to exceed two in twenty-four hours. Overdose may cause symptoms of headache, … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Appreciation Day
Rough day, calm day, heaviness to the air that feels like breathing Bloody Marys with a twist of lime. Child inside thumping impatiently at its shell of patience, determination meets determined walls. Experience doesn’t count here, and the child is … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: The Ending
We sometimes rush through the story to read the ending. Sometimes we’re satisfied, sometimes we’re not. The need for a conclusion, yet we never read nor talk about the ending of a life unless a need that overwhelms becomes the … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Change of Life
Odd morning, picking panties from a drawer without a sign of recognition. Wondering when I got them, since I should be most intimately familiar with them all. Worrying not about a spouse’s indiscretion, but worse; a lack of memory, a … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Close, Closer, and Go Away
Thinking about friends, and what it took to make them. Like tracks with hurdles thrown down both with purpose or sometimes uncontrolled. Tests to test for tensile strength. Testing both, and more the tester. The few, the many, which is … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: It Never Rains, It Pours
Close calls are becoming a way of life for my sister, just back from a traumatic emergency visit to her daughter (the one now sporting a horseshoe shaped scar on her head). Today’s mail brought this e-mail from her: “Hi … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Or not?
I cannot excerpt in bits and pieces what is going on at The Great Lettuce Head and Wanderlust, except to say that if you’re interested in time and space, go read their recent entries. Neha just turned twenty-two two days … Continue reading Continue reading
