REALITY: Rain Coming In
Some of us are weather-driven, sunshined smiles or greyly grave and grim. I watch the sky tonight, the yellow coward clouds slink in mobs and look for trouble, scan the streets to find a hapless victim they can drench with … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: 1000 Angels Dancing on the Head of a Pin
Looking up at my panorama piece of sky, my personal view that no one else but me can see. It is not large, but still it’s cut in half by horizontal flight; a teeny tiny eighth-inch gleaming silver spark of … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Existence
Very dark outside this morning; inside too, if I shut the lights off. Very condusive to odd thoughts when one is questioning the reality of space and the bodies within it, as I started once again to do this past … Continue reading Continue reading
EDUCATION & REALITY: Ill-suited
Totally incompatible because of memory shortage in my age class. I really shouldn’t generalize, some people my age and decades older have phenomenal memory capacity. My husband does (drat!) and my father did into his nineties. My memory just has … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA, WRITING & REALITY: All together, now!
(Shopping list: Plastic seat cover for computer chair to avoid the issue of a wet seat from running out of the shower with ideas that just have to be typed up immediately.) The thought struck me, not for the first … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Silent Battles
Okay, I’m gonna tell you guys something that I can’t discuss with my husband, because it’s about him and I, locked in a 15-year war that luckily does not involve bloodshed. It’s about toothpaste. No, not the old cover on, … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Déjà vu
Good God, I love labels. In a New York Times article this morning there is a very interesting piece on a scientific study being conducted on that familiar “I’ve been here/done this” feeling we call déjà vu. We can all … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Nature of Politics
There I was, sitting on the back step formulating a post (I let ideas drift through, and if one catches into a line that makes a complete sentence, I race inside and start typing. It’s my style.) about the New … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Driving Forces
The past is part of the present and the future. A little rhyme popped in my head just now, and though I know I learned it sometime in grammar school, I’m not sure if it wasn’t my mother who taught … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY & LITERATURE & NEW MEDIA: Heaven
Taking a break from numbers. Numbers that I used to love. Statistics will be the death of me. It’s more than counting pizza slices. It was, as Algebra I’m sure, New Media of its day. Combining letters with the numbers … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Space
How odd; in fourteen year I’ve never seen but once before a hang glider cross the upper space of my backyard. And now, this morning, September 11th, and just a day or two after posting about the local airport referendum, … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: A Sad Anniversary
Close your eyes today and see what I see; two towers rising high into a New York autumn sky. Are those clouds? No, I see it now; it’s smoke that billows out so oddly out of place within the image. … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING & REALITY: Shadows
All the years they told you not to be afraid. Teased your own timidity with fear of your own shadow. Lies, because you need to be afraid. Morning looks too peaceful, but you understand what’s going on. Shadows long and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Takin’ a Break
A spider is bungee jumping in front of my monitor. (I’m in the shop, working of course.) Continue reading

REALITY & CURRENT AFFAIRS: Local Referendum
Little by little the story comes out. In a prior post about elections I mentioned a town vote on an existing airport. Well, with only days to go prior to the voting, we’re finding out more and more about what … Continue reading Continue reading
