Foot Fic.
In the car on the way home today, I had this little narrative rattling around in my head:
Denny never had much of a foot fetish, yet he was captivated by Heather’s perfectly painted, bright red toenails. He tried to meet her eyes as they talked at the service desk, but his gaze invariably got tangled [...]
Travels IV: Misc.
I had this exchange with my father this morning:
Me: I had a list of things I wanted to to before I turned thirty, and I did all of them except for learning to ride a unicycle. Now it’s on my list for thirty-five. So, I need to get hold of a unicycle in the next [...]
Travels III: Walking
The walk this morning was punctuated by the sounds of roosters crowing, dogs barking, and planes flying overhead.
Travels II: Excess
First mission this morning: get to the basement and take a picture of the refrigerator.
This is the auxiliary fridge in my father’s house, and it contains more food than the only fridge in my house. Were I single or in college, this would not be interesting, however, I eat three meals a day in my [...]

It is hard to [...]
It’s On.
The garden was planted on Sunday.
Of course, I didn’t notice the big hole in the center until after I took the picture. Apparently some one with an appetite for the underground parts of a pepper plant had a feast in our garden. I replanted it – we’ll see how that goes.
In the garden this year: [...]
Nuggets
I pulled the files off my rapidly declining iBook in haste last fall. It wasn’t until last night that I started going through them in any detail, mostly in hopes of sparking some creative mojo. So, following is some of the more interesting (to me, at least) nuggets from iBook 2004-2008. Some genuinely entertaining, some [...]
To Do List.
It is already starting. The web classes officially ended four days ago, and I just obligated myself to fill in for another yoga teacher twice this week. Then, we’re off to see my dad in wherever the hell he lives for the weekend. Why do I do this? As my grandmother just said to me, [...]
