I posted these resolutions to Facebook on Dec 31. Now I'm posting them here. I am proud to report that I am 2/3 the way into "Dry January," as I've dubbed it and it's going very well. 🙂 My concrete and abstract 2017 resolutions (bc once you post it on social media it's basically binding … Continue reading resolution
worthy wednesday monologue
Of Hermann Melville's Moby Dick PELEG: And what dost thou want of Captain Ahab? I don't think thou wilt be able to see him at present. I don't know exactly what's the matter with him; but he keeps close inside the house; a sort of sick, and yet he don't look so. In fact, he … Continue reading worthy wednesday monologue

I've hated Mother's Day the past few years because it was a dreaded reminder of that incredibly sore spot in my heart...but (such a great word), I'm finally getting to feel a little less avoiding of it because I think of all of … Continue reading Moms
