  • Into the Woods

    After my dad’s surgery (he had brain surgery for anyone that didn’t know) in the spring, my mom suggested we try to go camping, like real tent camping, as a family. B, KT, and I thought this was kind of strange that she …

  • Ode (Scavenger Hunt #1)

    We don’t always agree and we’re both strong willed. That can be a disastrous mix. Sometimes it is and we fight. Things have gotten better over the years. I’ve matured and realized that when you say things, often they ar…

  • Rush, Rush

    The past few days have been a whirlwind. Tuesday was another special election (yup, I wasted more of the Maryland taxpayer's dinero, c'est la vie). Wednesday was B's graduation. For those of you that don't know, B is my …

  • I'll take you to the zoo and feed you to a yak (after I finish this drink)

    I ended up meeting with B, KT and we'll call him 3M (B's boyfriend) at the zoo after work. It was really nice. I hadn't been to the zoo yet this year. One of the fabulous things about DC is that so many things like the z…

  • Ever Slowly

    I spent the weekend with the family. My dad is doing okay. The speech issue seems to be a little less pronounced every day. I noticed a big difference from when I spoke to my dad on the phone versus when I actually saw h…

  • Loss of words

    I woke up this morning at 7 am. I couldn't go back to sleep. I was thinking about everything that I need to get done soon as well as two conversations I had yesterday; one with Dad, one with Mom. I talked to my dad yest…
