1. This is the time of year I like to sunbathe on the porch because it’s cool enough to soak it up. Letting all that good warmth and Vitamin D penetrate my skin makes me feel like a solar voltaic panel storing sun for the winter. 2. Golden parachutes? How about being fired and fined […]
1. This is the time of year when I put on socks, and the butter in the butter dish is no longer the consistency of mayonnaise. 2. Have you noticed how the Jonas Brothers look like the Hanson Brothers with dark hair? 3. Double take would make a good name for a second hand clothing […]
1. I like PBS’s Shields and Brooks but David Byrne is my favorite Talking Head. He has a blog too. HERE. 2. How come a dunce cap and a wizard cap are both the same? 3. My current imaginary bumpers sticker is a mathematical equation that says: McCain+Palin=Bushx. Hey, this is not rocket science. See […]
1. I like to keep at least one toy in my pocketbook. For some reason it makes me feel prepared. 2. Working my laptop touch pad is like eating noodles with chopsticks. I’d rather use a fork and mouse. 3. I feel like THIS more and more often. It’s worth a whole listen. 4. I […]
1. I watched PBS’s full coverage of the Democratic National Convention like others watched the Olympics (which I didn’t). 2. I don’t watch sports either, but watched Sheryl Crow, Stevie Wonder, and Michael McDonald sing at the DNC like others watch the Super Bowl at halftime. 3. I’m a registered Independent, fiscally conservative, who votes […]
1. When it comes to the school of life I don’t do a lot of homework but I pay attention in class. 2. My friend Mara says she’s a “one hour photo” sort of person. 3. How come after spending three weeks vacationing on the beach when I finally got home I felt like I […]
1. In a pinch when I’m at the beach without a notebook, I can write in the margins of a clam box menu using my flip flop sandal for a desk. 2. Compared to the crowds here at Bethany Beach, Delaware, where we’re visiting Joe’s family, and Nantasket Beach in Hull, Massachusetts, where I was […]
1. The night after my fisherman brother John brought lobsters home and I video-taped them, he said, “Colleen, I have something else for you to take pictures of” and then he spread THESE out on the table. 2. I guess I’m a full-time beach bum now, at least for the rest of August. After spending […]
1. You know you’re having a hometown vacation when you’re riding your mother’s neighbor’s bike and someone stops you on the street to ask where the library is and you actually know. 2. I get such a boost from my sunset walks at the ocean that when I get ready to take one I tell […]
1. I like to type “okeedoke” instead of “yes” just to piss off my spell checker. 2. I find the little yellow triangle icon with an exclamation point in it annoying. 3. My Exclamation poem: A kiss with punctuation … indicates excitement … long and thoughtful … to the point … ending quickly … with […]
1. The Teen Meditation Retreat that Joe organized and attended last week got a good write-up in the Roanoke Times HERE. It included a large feature photo on the EXTRA front page of Abraham Cherrix (who I interviewed HERE) doing yoga. My own story is coming soon … 2. Meditation: It’s like combing the hair […]
1. My new line as of late is: “I’ll bring the cucumbers!” They grow overnight. 2. Working on three stories at once (like I have been this past week) is like juggling apples, oranges, pears. 3. And I’m not working with a full deck. Seeing as how most everyone else gets 52 cards of energy […]
