Someone Fat Happened, Year Two
It's been a year, probably, almost...in the vicinity of a year since my first post here. I haven't lost a pound but I am a better writer than I was a year ago. This list isn't of New Year's Resolutions because I never keep Resolutions unless it is the classic "do more crosswords" Resolution that …
What Can I Doooo???
I couldn't think of anything to write yesterday. In a few months, I will turn 48 which is two years away from 50. I went to a good university so I can do math just like that, in my head...Bam! 48 + 2 = 50. Yeah, I did that. I looked on-line for lists of …
Back to My Roots
I reposted my original Weigh In Wednesday post this morning. Back in January I started my diet, knowing I needed to lose 20-30 pounds. I lost 11. I weighed myself this morning and I've gained back 7 so if I divide the number of pounds by the number of months dieting and factor in daily …
Some Like It Hot
and they probably have air conditioning. Some sweat when the heat is on. That's me because I don't have air conditioning. It's hotter than balls. Hot fuckers. Face of the sun hot. It has been in the 90s here for a couple of days. I know that to everyone outside the Pacific Northwest that doesn't …
A Tale of Two Gearhart Vacations
I'm back from my 45th summer vacation in Gearhart. As I mentioned before I left, Gearhart is my most favorite place on earth. Gearhart is a village of just under 1500 residents located on the northern coast of Oregon. The First Tale In August 2008, a small plane crashed into a home in Gearhart. "The …

Dreams of My Parents
Last night I had a dream in which I picked up a Parade magazine. That "magazine" that's included in Sunday newspapers? On the back of the Parade magazine was a photo of my girls and my mother sitting at the side of what appeared to be a country road. It was shady and they were …
One Solid $9 Investment
A few months ago, I read The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession by Allison Hoover Bartlett. It's the true story of John Charles Gilkey, who loves rare books so much that he steals them. Gilkey doesn’t want to read the …
All the Great Weekends End with a Monday.
Great Weekend This past weekend my college buddy Janet, or Jane as I call her, came to visit me from the Bay Area. Janet and I went to Colgate together and saw each other at our last reunion, which you can read about here and here. Oh and here. Wait a minute, and here, too. …
I’m No Dina Lohan
I will probably suck as a stage mother if I get that chance. Annie worked 12 hours yesterday and LOVED it. She texted me around 6:30 p.m. that she was "done". Actually "Done" was all the text said. I texted back "be in front". Meaning I will be in front of the school to pick …
Friday Photo Finish
I've been a crappy blogger this week so I'm going to take it out with a bank (or a bang), with flourish, with some photos! First of all, look what I got!!!! There it is! My Foil Cat award from Kathy V. at Don't Forget to Feed the Baby. Kathy held a poetry contest to …
