REALITY?: Love and Political Messages
This may not be a part of the nationwide campaign slogans, but Connecticutitians will understand and appreciate this… My husband walks into the living room where I am computing and watching TV, and says: "Well, Gibb, I love you," and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Willie News
Why am I always the last to know? My friend, Nancy, happened to mention it today and what struck me as odd is that Willie has gotten away with it as much as he has. Being openly honest and traveling … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING & REALITY?: Time
Not the usual meaning of time though, in that how much it takes on a daily basis and how to juggle the writing gracefully along with the less glamorous but more necessary doings of life. I’m thinking of the time … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Update
My little problems yesterday were quickly solved. Odd that both computer and car parts would crap out on the same day. Odder still that they both would be fixed that same day. The mouse was indeed the problem on the … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: I’ve Had a Bad, Bad Day
Love that song, on the Waylon Jennings’ Album, Cowboys, Rascals and Dirt. However, I really am having not an awful, awful, but not a good day. Decided to run out to the bank, do errands, and stop at the Library … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Big Brother
Now I dearly love amazon.com so this is really not a big complaint. Unlike my husband, they’ll remember what I like to read and what I want for Christmas. They pay very close attention to my moods, and tease me … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Straightening Day
Monthly ironing, easier to do it all at once all day than every little at a time. ‘Sides, more laundry, ironing all the curtains for fall cleaning. Windows, inside, outside, inside outside top and bottom, moving, reaching till all eight … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING & REALITY?: Plot
Easy to find plot in reality, harder in my stories I guess. A friend just read my latest and found nice imagery, but little plot to carry the story. Not easy to fix, based on the concept, unless I change … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Scary
I realized before I married him that my husband’s memory could present problems, especially with my own scattered system (I can remember my phone number that we changed from when I was seven), and every now and then he reinforces … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Un-changes
The week is sort of turning bad here on me, but if anything is good about it, there’s one less thing to hope and wait and wonder about, and a new problem I created should be smoothed out tonight. And, … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Talking, Listening
I recognize the gravelly voice of Nancy J., a customer of my frame shop. She asks me if I’m open this afternoon; I tell her yes, and ask her how she’s been. "Terrible," she says. "We’ll come up and tell … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING & REALITY?: Reality and Writing
I’m learning that if you listen really well to either, you’ll discover things that can enhance the other. In the past year, I’ve met with lawyers and the thing I really wanted to say to concisely describe the situation and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Job Search
Well, I think I may have a decent shot at this receptionist job that requires among other things: Sits, stands, bends, lifts and moves intermittently during working hours. Must be able to read, write, speak, and understand the English language. … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Fair versus Just
Struggling with the implications, leaning one way towards what I believe is fair, yet tempered by the justice of legal law which may or may not be–however interpreted and applied–in conflict. And sometimes, driving, listening, Willie answers: Justice is the … Continue reading Continue reading
