Cabs

Yesterday night I met an old friend over at Union Square (and then called Calistoga back in CA for a restaurant recommendation – thankfully my friends are now used to erratic randomness). After a comedy show at a bar I had to take a cab back to my hotel. So this post really isn’t about [...]

New York

I’ve made it to the city. The honking never stops. I thought I’d sleep in this morning after my delayed flight last night, but awoke to a chorus of honking, beeping, sirens, and a general roaring ruckus. It’s amazing to think that this is going on all day and all night, even when [...]

The many forms of insanity

While I’ve come to my own conclusions that I am crazy, and these revelations have been validated by other people including “professionals,” I learned last Saturday that there is always more than one way to get better. Flyboy once said to me, “If you’re trying to make a lot of money, why the hell would [...]

My Muse

So there’s this little bird or fairy or angel or devil that typically hangs out with me, especially when I’m traveling. Actually, I think it’s more of a bird since I have a personal affinity for birds (ask anyone), and occasionally they crap on your shoulder which is what this one does. This bird can [...]

Gastronomics

It’s hard to continue this syndrome I’ve developed of not eating this week as I sit enroute on my plane to the eating capital of the world. No, I’m not talking about Pittsburgh, PA, I’m talking about Manhattan. I spent several hours with Calistoga on Sunday, who I haven’t seen in ages (read: high school), [...]

Floating

We went tubing on the Russian River up in Cloverdale, CA, yesterday. Tubing is a hillbilly pastime in which you sit on inner tubes, float down a river, drink beer, and get sunburned. It’s a social activity more than anything, which is probably not something I can contribute to right now but certainly something I [...]

Turning mistakes into gold

Such is the way of the world You can never know Just where to put all your faith And how will it grow

Gonna rise up Burning back holes in dark memories Gonna rise up Turning mistakes into gold

Such is the passage of time Too fast to fold And suddenly swallowed by signs Lo [...]

Love

There’s a reason my old blog was at Superlative Love. I set it up in reaction to a loss I suffered in early 2004, and when Saturyne looked at the first incarnation of the site, she said, “It’s funny, when I look at this site I see a person putting forth all her efforts to [...]
