Dawn Is Me

Let our hearts call it a day

I guess I should probably mention what I have successfully avoided talking about here for months and months and months. My marriage is over. It’s been over for quite some time now, really. All that’s left is the formalities. Gino and I have stopped carefully stepping around each other and finally had the talk. We’re getting [...]

It’s a grand old flag

It’s a high-flying flag. Think I’ll wave it. *wave, wave* There, that’s done. I would probably be accused of being unpatriotic by a lot of people. That’s because I don’t drape myself, my web sites and my belongings in the American flag at every opportunity. I’m not the type to wear patriotic undies, mostly because I just feel there’s [...]

Can you handle what I’m ’bout to do?

It’s been awhile, huh? Did I leave you hanging? I’m sooooo sorry … So, yeah. It’s Ricky’s birthday. He’s 13 year old now, officially a teenager (as he has reminded me about 16 times already today). Having survived season one of As The Teens Turn, Ricky doesn’t scare me. He couldn’t possibly out-do Psycho Boy. No way. To [...]

Here you come again

So, here’s my question of the moment: Should I go back to school? This isn’t the first time that people around me have encouraged me to go back to school. I’ve attended some very first-rate universities but, for reasons into which I will not delve right now, I never finished. Yes, it’s true. In spite of my [...]

I’ve got a brand new pair of rollerskates

I’m celebrating. I QUIT SMOKING ONE YEAR AGO TODAY!!! You may not be impressed but I am. Especially in light of the fact that Gino has continued to smoke this entire year — although, in justice to him, not in the house. (I wish he had told me back when he did quit — for a whole year, [...]

Music is a world within itself

Me — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 23:04:41 +0000

I told you before about some of my recent strolls down musical memory lane, where I’m finally admitting to myself that the ’70s was a pretty good decade. It wasn’t all disco and polyester, ya know. In the land of R&B/funk/jazz and the various hybrids boasting real musicians who reveled in experimenting with musical forms from other [...]

You can’t pretend there’s nothing there

(I note that WordPress wants me to upgrade to version 2.9, which is now available. Only it won’t let me upgrade WordPress until I upgrade the version of MySQL that my server is running. That’s the only complaint I have about open source software. I generally love the stuff but the upgrades are relentless and [...]
