Posted on June 28, 2009 by K

Quieter now

Posted on June 25, 2009 by K

I started this day’s diatribe early in the afternoon, after I heard that phone call.  And I dumped it on one of my publishers in the middle of a contract conversation. She said: It breaks your heart, doesn’t it?  I … Continue reading →

The enforcing of religion

Posted on June 25, 2009 by K

Still in my stark frame of mind: I believe in the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Joseph—the one true God and Jesus Christ, who he sent, who is our savior.  I say this in a voice that … Continue reading →

Politics

Posted on June 25, 2009 by K

That thing I do –

Posted on June 15, 2009 by K

Morning howl

Posted on June 13, 2009 by K

May I just say that my hair is right now standing on end?  Holy cats. One thing I hate about driving around the university is the propensity of the students who are on foot to think that, because they are … Continue reading →

This morning and some

Posted on June 11, 2009 by K

Babysitting.  Which means, I am keeping company with a baby monitor.  Nice, gentle white noise.  I am wondering why the baby gets to sleep when I’m the one who got up at five this morning?  Oh, wait.  So did he. … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday, Mom. I bet you  never thought you’d ever be 82 years old, huh? You with your busy, loving heart and that killer smile.  If I’d been with you on this day, I wonder what we’d have talked about? … Continue reading →

Hot to trot

Posted on June 9, 2009 by K

If a horse is going to blow up on you, there’s a good chance it’s going to happen in the rough seam between a trot and the canter. Which makes sense: if you’ve got a kid doing the dishes, and … Continue reading →

Morning Moos

Posted on June 5, 2009 by K

On the treadmill.  So much easier when Biggest Loser or So You Think You can Dance are on my DVR.  This morning, two nights ago, who knows when in real life, a very tall, very cute, funny, earnest dancer was … Continue reading →
