Notes from the Car
1. I bought a Hopkins clingy today, which I very carefully affixed to my rear windshield… upside down. I didn’t realize this until I got out of the car and looked at the window. How did I get into this school again?
2. Today I was on Cold Spring Lane, waiting to get on 83, when [...]
Apocalypse sNow
From the sound of things on Friday, our region was to be struck by one to two feet of apocalypse, but it turned out we got one to two feet of snow, instead. My classes were tiny on Friday and the traffic was ridiculous as people scrambled to buy their (everybody, now) bread, milk, and [...]
Misbehaving Tuesday: Argyle Edition
My clothes don’t match today. As I was getting dressed – pink toenails, purple open-toe flats, black and gray argyle footless tights, olive drab miniskirt, purple shirt, black sweater, denim jacket – it occurred to me that I would have loved this outfit when I was sixteen, and I would have worn it all the [...]

Visitor
The weather was overcast today, and my sunroof became a leafroof. Hello, friend.
Entropy
Sometimes when I start writing stuff like this I wonder if it is too out there to make public. I wonder if it will put off more people than anything. But then I remember that this is my blog. Fuck it.
Things are happening.
I woke up this morning feeling really soft and squishy about the world. [...]
Mortality Revisited
I decided today that I needed a good yogic asskicking, so I drove down to Midtown for Camille’s 4:30 class. The class itself was challenging, but there were some newer students there, so it wasn’t quite the asskicking for which I had been hoping. The asskicking came on the way home. On the ramp between [...]
Food for Thought
Just after we started dessert, it occurred to me that if I were a real blogger, I would have been taking pictures of the meal to post here. Dinner at Horizons in Philly isn’t quite like dinner anywhere else. Many of the patrons aren’t vegetarian, much less vegan, so the fact that this vegan restaurant [...]
Shifting Gears
It was one of those surreal weekends in which the scenery changed rapidly: teaching at the JCC in Pikesville, a Catholic wedding, learning to drive stick in the car of my whatever-you-call-my-mother’s-gentleman-friend, all in the space of about thirty-six hours.
As we got ready for the Philly / South Jersey wedding, I mentioned to Scott that [...]
Harry, Hairy, Hurry, Harpy.
1. A few last thoughts on Harry Potter: A) I am delighted by J.K. Rowling’s love of language, which comes through in the names of the characters. I think my favorite is Draco – Latin root for serpent. B) I don’t think the whole epic was intended as an allegory for WWII, and I know [...]
