8/20/17 Yesterday, a Saturday about a week before my 45th birthday, I found myself driving around town with a container full of pee in my car cup holder. Pee as in urine. Not like in a travel mug, but one of those sample cups with lids they give your kids at the pediatricians office because they squeezed you …
8/17/17 Hmm… some parents don’t like South Park. I thought I was one of them but, it turns out, I don’t really care. (That’s maybe a little bit surprising only because I suspect if you just met me, you’d think, “oh, she’s totally one of the ones who don’t like South Park.” But, books and …
8/8/17 One of the most wondrous or terrible, guilt-inducing things about living in Colorado is the National Park Service. Roosevelt, the purple mountains majesty, the sunshine, the rippling mountain streams, the canyons, the spacious skies, the skiing/hiking/rafting/biking… all of it. Just beautiful. And if you’re not out there making the most of it, enjoying the privilege of …
8/5/17 Here’s a frightening childhood story about a horrible thing that happened to me that for some reason my family finds hilariously funny. I think some of that is owing to their sheer amazement over me because it involves my escapades alone on the city bus as a child. No kidding, from as young as …
8/3/17 So, suddenly, I’m getting lots of calls. Ever since I started this blog, actually. I know, I know. I mean, it’s to be expected. Start a blog and watch your phone just blow right up. It’s like they can’t get enough of ME… the scammers, that is. I’m being scammed. I’m the latest victim of this thing called “robocall …
8/2//17 As promised, I present to you more Marge flyers… lots more. They are all over the damn neighborhood. We’ve been blanketed; every 50 feet in the 6 block area. And the posters are bigger, stronger, and laminated. You would need tools to take them down. It’s like The Six Million Dollar Man of flyers …
7/20/17 Today on the path again I noticed Marge has another flyer, but with a different picture! (Wait, don’t go! Stay with me. Lost cat signs occupy a lot of space in my brain.) I am so impressed with the professionalism of this search effort. It’s the same information, but in this photo we zoom in tight …
7/19/17 Marge is missing! I know because I’ve seen the flyer posted along my walks all week. Marge is a Domestic Long Hair, according to the surprisingly professional flyer, and has been missing now for 5 days and counting. In the color photo, Marge is bathed in a mysterious natural light, poised on maybe an …
7/25/17 Written while “watching” the boys swim PSA: Don’t walk and Facebook. I just accidentally walked directly into the men’s locker room at the pool. I’m still out of breath. Luckily (!!!) my head was down staring at my phone because it wasn’t working, so I didn’t see much. Until I did. I have so …
First blog. … Awkward… Hi, I’m doing a blog. Gosh that feels like, ugh. Ack. Why? For those of you reading this and who know me (which I assume is all of you for now? At least until this thing gets going… or until I’m the only one left reading it?), you might feel like …
