Usually I’m reading at such a rate that I don’t really have time to sit down and blog about it. I just pick up whatever by who ever, read it in a day or two and move on. But this summer is really a busy one for me and I haven’t had time to go
Every year I plan on going to the Gay Pride Parade and every year something comes up and I don’t make it. This year, finally, there was nothing. You’re probably wondering why I’d want to go to a Gay Pride Parade. Well…I have gay friends. And I’m very proud of them. I’m proud of their
Today I am attending a yoga workshop by Judith Lassiter (big name in the yoga community). I have just a few social events planned for this weekend and then I have no more weekend obligation for a while (at least until mid July). Even though this month has been, well…hectic, it hasn’t been too bad.

One of my favorite things from the trip was going into the butterfly room at St. Louis Zoo. I called it the room of magic. I stood in that room in awe of all the delicate wings fluttering around me, amazed at all the colors and beauty in these simple little creatures. It’s so easy
In 1992 or 93, our HS band was asked to play in Washington DC. On the way, one of the buses broke down (of course) in St. Louis. They left us at the St. Louis Arch, which was way grungier then it looks today, and they wouldn’t let me ride to the top. “The bus
The last few years my sister, my mom and sometimes my sister-in-law and niece, and I all go on a weekend getaway. And for the last few years that weekend getaway place has been Eureka Springs. This year we are shaking things up and heading off to St. Louis, MO (cue “clang, clang, clang went
We were in the airport waiting for our flight out of Portland, when I realized that I should have gotten an Oregon sticker for Gertrude (yes…my Macbook has a name; we call her Gert for short). I ran down to the many gift shops in the airport, but I couldn’t find any stickers. So, I
