Reverb 10: Wisdom

December 10 – Wisdom Wisdom. What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out? Author: Susannah Conway I think the wisest decision I made this year was to accept a job offer. It had been a long time since I’d done a real “day job” (I’m not even counting [...]

Reverb 10: Let Go

All my nerd people are doing Reverb 10 and I’m nothing if not a follower so let me jump in here a little late. December 5 – Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why? (Author: Alice Bradley) I struggled for many months to let go of a relationship, a [...]

Mental Notes

My home office is a wreck of a place currently. It’s in need of one of those emergency organization rescue shows to swoop in and make it better. Since that’s not going to happen I’ve been slowly going through the piles of stuff I’ve let accumulate. I’m getting rid of some stuff (ok, I’m trying [...]

Look who remembered she has a personal blog

I won’t lie and say I remembered all on my own. It was Jason’s strong return to blogging that made me sweep up the cobwebs and dust around here. Also I’ve got a content creation itch going on right now. I love all the stuff I share on Tumblr and elsewhere but I found myself [...]

The Eighth of Nisan

On the Hebrew calendar the eighth of Nisan began last night at sunset. That means, again according to the Hebrew calendar, it’s been exactly one year since the big dunk.

What You See

My Book of 2009

It’s that time of year again where I go back through the notebook that has a month by month listing of things that happened in my life over the course of the year. Some of the things are silly, some of the things are monumental. Either way I really enjoy the exercise of keeping the [...]

Funny story or not, depending on your sense of humor.

I couldn’t make it to Shabbat services this morning so I went for services and Havdalah this evening. There was a couple there, a couple that I’d seen around shul a few times and around the neighborhood, they live one street over from our current house. Casually seeing them around wasn’t my first introduction to [...]

This Love Affair: Jimmy Buffett

I don’t remember which one of “the girls” introduced me to Jimmy Buffett but it was one of them. The girls. That was us. Me, Amy, Bethany and Laurie. It was the four of us against the world in high school. Those girls were some of the great loves of my life. The years of [...]

This Love Affair

Harry: What is this we’re listening to? Karen: Joni Mitchell. Harry: I can’t believe you still listen to Joni Mitchell. Karen:I love her and true love lasts a lifetime. Love Actually Inspired in part by all the end of year and end of decade lists but mostly by Jason’s awesome The Two Zeros series I’m about [...]
