Beautiful day today.  A good day.  The cardinals have forgiven me for my sad neglect of them and have returned to the feeder within an hour of my filling it.  The outdoors calls to my heart but I respond to … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Maybe this was partly what Sunday Mass was for: to stop the whirling world outside the big doors and think. A song keeps playing in my head, stuck on the same phrase like a needle skipping on the record–CDs and … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Tis a lovely spring day complete with chirping and color and sun.  Therefore, it is not as depressing to consider Socrates’ death as well as our own. Even if we buy the soul living on beyond the body, many do … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Some of you may remember a couple years back when I put the curse of all the Polish demons upon the head of the man who built my computer chair.  Backstory:  It is one of those pneumatic jobs and randomly … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Flap-flap, phoooooooo.  Flap-flap-flap, phoooooooo.  The crow  rides the currents.  Screech and trill of the bluejay recalls pulling in the clothesline.  Yellow dot swoops in flight to land upon the topmost branch of a big old maple that’s bursting forth with … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I recall one evening after dinner; I had come back into the kitchen to help clean up. My mother was standing at the sink washing dishes, humming very quietly to herself. In the overhead light, dozens of small bubbles sparkled … Continue reading → Continue reading →

So here’s what’s gotten my knickers in a twist this morning:  As I was ironing, I noticed a label on one of Jim’s shirts, "Alex Cannon – Rowayton, CT" and this made me smile.  Then I noticed a much smaller … Continue reading → Continue reading →

So I fell asleep on the couch watching the early news and woke up to the late news. Read a bit and decided to go to bed but then wait…remembered that Willie is on Dave Letterman tonight.  Have to watch, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Sitting on the couch/pew, listening/reading to the wisdom put forth by the priest/preacher/weblog writer on this rainy Sunday morning.  Today’s sermon touches beautifully well on the congregation’s/blogging community’s daily thoughts: You Suck.  But Enough About You Danny Gregory says what … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Just got back from dinner and a movie at the neighbor’s house.  Enjoyed the movie, needed a good laugh.  Good cast, and the plot was controlled slapstick which was sophisticated and detailed.  We don’t go out to the movies much, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Who am I kidding.  Yeah, the violets can make me smile, but the flowering quince and budding lilacs and red and green tipped maple trees are also screaming out “Get off your ass and get out here and clean the … Continue reading →
